Comedy films and their storylines

Blades of Glory (2007)

When looking at comedy films and their story lines, one thing that is noticeable is that, although themes of comedy films are very varied, most tend to follow the same basis. The stereotypical narrative of a film is of course having a beginning, middle and end. In comedy films these sections usually run as follows:
-Beginning - A problem occurs
-Middle - The problem is faced
-End - The problem is conquered - A happy ending


Lots of comedy films follow this structure, as it is a successful combination for a comedy film. When planning our film opening, we will have to also plan the whole movie, we think we will use this structure to create our story line around, hopefully resulting in a good comedy film.
