Working with your team, come up with a list of funny questions for people to answer on camera. Put the answers together in a funny video that is about one minute.
Top submissions will be shown at a future MS assembly.
Steps for Success
- Ask the same question or two over and over to different people
- Keep questions appropriate.
- Film people’s reactions. For example, ask them to look surprised. Then when you have someone else answer, you can cut back to their reaction. Really funny.
- Ask a LOT of people the same question so you have more to work with
- Create a title at the front
- Maybe add a live audience laugh track
- When editing, you don’t need to include you asking the question more than a few times
