Today I wanted to watch some comedy trailers in order to figure out how many jokes are in each trailer, how long they traditionally are, and how the trailers are timed in relation to each joke.( I do plan on watching a lot more trailers to get a better understanding of the genre.)

Most Comedy movie trailers last for 2:30 minutes for the first trailer and about 3:30 minuets for the second. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGQUKzSDhrg this trailer for the lego batman movie has about 13 jokes in it. The First Deadpool trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xithigfg7dA has around 12 jokes some being physical humor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3AVcCggRnU this ted 2 trailer has about 16 jokes. So I plan to create my script with these joke conventions in mind, I am planing on doing around 12-14 jokes and these can be anything from verbal comedy to physical comedy.

The thing that all of the comedy trailers have in common is that in between all of the jokes there are parts that are supposed to tell you the plot (just a little bit) and they all start with a more serious tone (the first scene normally ends with a joke though).
