Monty Python (1969-1983)


Not very long ago, Netflix got me to see Monty Python through their suggestions. In the beginning was just simply a British TV show with British humor, however, the editing and angle that was capture for the show was brilliant as well. 




They constantly use actor’s eyes direction to move the show to the next screen, and Monty Python was also very smoothly arrange for their each shot so nothing comes out of the blue without knowing the reason (unless is the joke, of course). Even with a lot of local jokes was not able to understand by me, the mature technique of shooting could easily capture the eyes without bored by it. 
A lot of technique that was thought in our class (Film I) kept showing up in the show, such as shooting each as a picture and combine together as unsmooth moving forwards or the sudden pop up in the film or disappear. The visual for the film itself also change for their location, if is outside of film studio the quality usually is lower, I believe is because of the quality of the material on film.
Even with all the great technique I am able to capture, the jokes are still the main part to learn what’s the humor in it.
