The point of my project was to get a few people to tell me a funny story. I didn't care if it was an actual experience, or a make-believe story, but I wanted the interviewees to tell me something that made them laugh. I chose three people and allowed them a few days to think it over. I knew that if I just sprung this question, what makes you laugh, to them, they would experience a bit of stage fright. So, by allowing a couple days to think about it, I knew I'd at least get something out of each of them. Once I recorded the interviewees, I used Windows Live Movie Maker to create my digital story.
The video below is the outcome of those interviewees and their stories.
What was so fascinating about this experiment was that once we completed recording, we sat for almost an hour throwing more and more funny stories back and forth. Once they got one story out, it was like the flood gates opened. All of a sudden, we all couldn't help but to tell more stories and attempt to make each other laugh. I thought about continuing the recording session, however I knew my movie would end up lasting a long time.
All in all, the digital story was a fun and cute experiment with my humor/comedy concept. Each story told was an attempt to show the humor behind it, and to make, not only themselves laugh, but to make others laugh in the process.
