It is often suggested that there are 'secrets' to comedy or that it is 'lightning in a bottle, ' but the craft of comedy writing can be taught. While comedic tastes change, over time and from person to person, the core underpinning still depends on the comedic geniuses that have paved the way. Great comedy is built upon a strong foundation. In "Writing the Comedy Movie," Marc Blake lays out - in an entertainingly readable style - the practical nuts and bolts of comedy screenwriting. His objective is to clarify the 'rules' of comedy: to contextualize comedy staples such as the Double act, Slapstick, Gross out, Rom Com, Screwball, Satire and Parody. He also explains the underlying principles of comedy and comedy writing for the screen, along with providing analysis of leading examples of each subgenre, step-by-step writing exercises and interviews with seasoned producers, directors, writers and proponents of the craft.
