Creating a comedy trailer is difficult, but possible when crossed over with another genre. To begin with, every trailer I viewed with comedy in the genre description included another genre alongside it (e.g Deadpool, comedy and action). The structure includes a storyline that is standard action/thriller/horror etc, but has added punchlines and all the comedy conventions present. These conventions include background music that cuts when a punchline is delivered, high key lighting and often quite a few two shots and/or over shoulder shots for the humorous dialogue.
My reasons for liking the idea of comedy as a sub-genre for my trailer is that I believe it will be an interesting challenge to the course and simply make my trailer more interesting and unique. Comedies do not require a large plethora of resources either as the dialogue is the critical component to any comedy in existence. While it is not yet my final decision, comedy is definitely in consideration.
