Santas Slay

For the opening scenes to our film, we are thinking of making it very comical, so that the audeince are interested from the start. The opening scene to the film "Santas Slay" will offer us an insight into how we should create humor in our film but also prove a good starting block on how other films use simular techniques to create their humor.

Santas Slay
At the start of the opening scene, we see a turkey being bought into the dining room with some christmas type diegetic music in the background. This tells us that the film is most lickely to be set in the festive season at christmas. So the film has already set the scene for the audience. We then start to see the rest of the family dinning at the house. We first see two teenage girls who are chatting about what they want for christmas, the one on the left of the picture says " none of that chain store shit", giving us as the audience the idea that this family is very rich or is very high class. This is even more evident when the person we next see at the end of the table replys back to the teenager "Settle for nothing less than prada girls".

After meeting the teenagers, we then meet the two couples, this is where humor is created within the opening scene. "Guen" and her partner who his name we do not know yet start talking about what they want for christmas. Her partner gets Guen's attention by saying "eyy" and then winking at her, maybe suggesting that hes trying to be flirty with her. He Then asks she wants from santa with her reply being " a faithful husband", humor is created here because that was not the answer the man was expecting back and the fact that being flirty over the dining room table at christmas dinner is not something you would talk about at your own home.

We then meet the other couple. The man at the other end of the table is married to "Angel", he then talks to her about the turkey which has been cooked and says "Dear god, i hope this bird doesnt taste like a shoe like last year", this already creates humer because he is referring to Angels cooking abilities and basically saying its rubbish. He then asks for it to be "moist and tender". Angel then replys with " Moist would be nice, its called Forplay". Humor is created here because the audience would not be expected a sexual comment back.

After their little discution, we see Angel giving Guen's partner some potatos whilest playing footsy under the table, this then turns into Guens partner's hand going down angels dress. We then hear a screem from Angel, with everyone looking at her. This creates humer because of the reactions from the other characters and how you wouldnt associate something like that to happen over a christmas dinner.

In the Final scene a Santa clause comes down the chimney and breaks into the room, we then see Santa killing all the characters on the table using all the props available around him, this creates humor because stereotypically, christmas is a time to celebrate and not a time to be voilent. I think the opening scene to Santas slay gives us a good idea of how our film should create humor.
