Comedy from this scene is created by a series of events and using film techniques which are sounds, framing, and angles. Eve was spinning so fast that WALL-E hit the ceiling of his vehicle so hard that his figure became indented into the rusty metal is an example from parts of the scene. This is an example of low comedy where it does not require much knowledge to get it and it is designed for the audience to laugh out loud.

I bought to the table a comedy that plays with the traditional aspects of theater including breaking the fourth wall by audience participation. Another participant brought a comedy about the educational relationship between teachers and students, which would be relatable to the audience. The third person brought a radical and unbelievable comedy about buying a car and it all going wrong. None of these ideas resonated with us and we decided…

She’s The Man, or shall i say “the original love triangle”, is a teenage film adaptation of William shakespeare's Twelfth Night which was written in 1601.

Burlesque performers sort to pick holes in the way society saw life, to do this they looked at high…
