For our one-minute video, my group and I filmed a humorous and escalating conflict between two students over shared items in a study area. We decided to use no dialogue to challenge ourselves to convey humor through facial expressions, actions, and sound effects. This restriction pushed us to be more creative with our filming, acting, and editing.
The finished product differed from our original script but turned out better than we had expected. One major change involved the final conflict. In the original script, the last item being fought over was a laptop, which would have been broken, ending the conflict with no one claiming the final item. However, during filming, we changed the order of the items being fought over, which led us to improvise a new ending.
In the end, the improvised conclusion worked surprisingly well and turned out to be a strong finish, especially considering it was a last-minute change.
