Forget 'Gap Yah', this is much more my humour. Here is a very funny comedy sketch (albeit old) from the same producers that brought you 'Gap Yah'... so I thought I'd share it. Very simple humour, but delivered so well, especially from the actor on the right.
I actually watched this without sound during lecture today and noticed how they use the camera to direct the audience's eye. The two most noticeable camera shots in which we see this is the opening one and one towards the end. The low shot at the beginning is similar to that which is brought into fashion by Orson Welles in 'Citizen Kane' (1941) in which the viewers perspective is very different. We are close to the ground which gives us a feeling we are not playing an active part in the exchange but we are actually there. The other of the camera shots I liked was the Point Of View (POV) camera angle when they are taking the man's phone. This is similar to the POV shot's that Alfred Hitchcock used to involve the viewer with the scene when creating suspense.
A very funny script, well delivered and craftily shot.
