I have this project where i have to make a film. so, should i go with a serious issue, or funny one?

Question

its actually this huge senior project about careers after high school. and i want to be a director and thats what my college survey thing said i should be too soooo...

Answer 1

Funny!  It's harder but worth it.

Answer 2

I agree with Radar, I think you should make a serious film, but pepper it with enough comedy to keep people interested and entertained. I would say to make just a comedy but then again, if  you want to show how serious you are about it then you have to be able to convey that 1) this is something you are serious about, but 2) you can have fun doing it!

Answer 3

i think it should be serious and have an impact. it is your senior year and your more likely to be taken serious and able to show your talent with a serious issue. not so serious that it makes everyone depressed but something in a way that will inspire them.

Answer 4

Make a serious situation or group of situations and make it funny. Thats should get you an A.

Answer 5

the best thing to do is mix them both,the actor can be serious ( so that the audience can laugh) it work all the time

Answer 6

If it was up to me, I would make a funny film.  But I believe that it depends on your personality.  If you make a film on a serious issue, then you have to make it believable.  However, if you go with a funny film, then you can't make it cheesy or seem forced.  When I was in high school it was easier to grab peoples' attention with funny films.
