Comedy on film. How do?

Comedy. How do? Comedy and film are a relationship older than the now mouldy tea I left on my bedside table last week.Truly very old and loyal, but not quite so rotten relationship. Its a sweet combination that is very difficult to transfer from what has been written in script to what is on the screen. Many techniques have been used such as slapstick to animation to try and bleed those desperately needed laughs out of their audience. However one technique that is used but consistently overlooked is the art of editing. I am guilty of overlooking editing which is actually the biggest compliment you could give editing in a film or TV show. Editing is a subtle art of placing the shots in order, even switching shots from face to face when characters are talking are a decision that an editor has taken to help, you the audience to concentrate on that particular character talking at that certain time, its such a simple trick, but you don't even think about it until you think about it. They help you to concentrate into different aspects of the story to allow the film flow and the story be seen, the more it fits into and blends with the emotions and story line of the film, the more I want to slap a massive snog on the lips of said editor. 'Step into the ring the all time master of such art Eddddggaaarrr Wwwrrrrriigghhttt (Edgar Wright)' Edgar Wright is one of my all time favourite directors I love how unique his films are and how much thought and care you ca see has gone into each shot, for a bigger explanation please watch the video essay by Every Frame A Painting to further admire such work.
