The comedy genre humorously exaggerates the situation, the language, action, and characters. Comedies observe the deficiencies, foibles, and frustrations of everyday people and everyday lifes. (over exaggerated normally).
It can be broken down into different forms of comedy :-
Black comedy deals with disturbing subjects such as death, drugs, terrorism, rape, and war. Some dark comedy is similar to the horror movie genre.
Blue comedy Comedy based on sexism, racism and homophobic views, often using sexual jokes and profane language words
Character comedy derives humor from a persona invented by a performer. Much character comedy comes from stereotypes.
Mockumentary A fiction film that parodies the conventions of documentary style.
Cringe comedy A comedy of embarrassment, in which the humour comes from inappropriate actions or words. Usually popular in television shows and film, but occasionally in stand-up as well.
Spoof The recreating of a book, film or play for humour, it can be used to make fun of or ridicule a certain production
Surreal humour is a form of humor based on bizarre juxtapositions, absurd situations, and nonsense logic.
There are alot more but they are a few examples of popular forms of comedy
Comedies are very doable on a small budget and are possible for me to make, but i dont think i will be able to make a comedy as i lack ideas that are funny for the film. A few examples of low budget comedies are :- Me you and everyone We know :- This is an offbeat low-budget comedy that won prizes at Cannes, Sundance and other film festivals. Performance and installation artist Miranda July wrote, directed and stars in the movie. Christine (July) earns her living chauffeuring senior citizens, but her passion is creating art videos. She meets and is drawn to Richard (John Hawkes), a shoe salesman who is separated from his wife. The film consists of many small interwoven incidents involving quirky characters, some of whom are kids.
