Script

Okay, so this opening scene is totally sick. The script immediately hooks you by showing Billy Badass just being maximum chaos. The narrator is super chill about it, but Billy is basically a walking, talking detention slip, doing the grossest stuff—like the crickets and, hanging that teacher by his underwear. That whole sequence is basically Billy's resume for being a threat, which is exactly the point. And they cut everything super-fast, which makes it look intense and awesome when Billy finally gets booted. That tight shot of the principal's torso just shows you how little respect Billy has for authority, which is great.

But then things get serious because Billy's new principal is Tyrone Daquavious Weenie, and they call him The Punisher. That name alone tells you he's not messing around! The script makes him look terrifying with that close-up of his "HIDEOUS" scowl. The whole vibe changes—it's not just regular high school trouble anymore; it's like a prison movie where Billy is forced to be submissive. The narrator even asks the big question: can Billy stay a badass, or will Mr. Weenie actually crush him? It's basically an epic fight for Billy's soul!

And the ending shot? Legendary. Billy jumps right onto Tyrone's back and makes those obnoxious cowboy noises! It’s the perfect last laugh before the title screen comes up, proving that even when he's losing, Billy is still winning the coolness battle. That final shot, followed by the huge "BILLY BADASS" title card, guarantees the movie is going to be packed with ridiculously over-the-top action and jokes. You just know this whole movie is going to be a giant middle finger.

Character Development Worksheet

The movie centers on Billy Badass, a 16-year-old protagonist whose entire goal in life is simple: to be the baddest of all the badasses. This pursuit is complicated because he supposedly "looks like a punsy" and has to constantly prove himself. Billy’s main ally in this endeavor is his younger brother, Dillian the daring badass, who, despite having an equally bold name, is apparently more of a "punk" who wants to be a "jackass." Together, these two brothers are causing havoc around the school, fueled by Billy's motivation to establish his tough reputation and Dillian's slightly less clear goal of wanting to be a "donkey."

Standing squarely in the way of their legendary mischief is the story's villain, Tyrone Deqavious Weenie, the 40-year-old principal. Tyrone is the ultimate rule-enforcer, described as strict and always angry, a man whose sole motivation is to stop Billy and Dillian from destroying the school's already fragile sense of order. The ultimate clash is directly between Billy and the Principal. Billy sees fighting the Principal as the necessary step to prove he truly is a "badass" and shed his "punsy" image, setting up a hilarious showdown that defines the film's main tension.

The story is essentially a battle for the order of the school. The brothers are the force of chaos and rebellion, constantly finding ways to test the limits—or simply beat people up, as suggested by Billy’s backstory. Conversely, Principal Tyrone represents the immovable object of institutional authority. The comedy and action will come from watching the brothers try increasingly outrageous stunts to prove their badass credentials, while the always-angry Principal desperately attempts to contain their destructive energy and force Dillian and Billy to become "good children."

Title Sequencing

 So, title sequences in action comedies are usually loud, fast, and kind of ridiculous—in a good way. They don’t just show names; they set the whole vibe. Sometimes the movie starts with a crazy scene, like a chase or someone doing something dumb, and then boom—the title pops up with a cool sound or freeze-frame. It’s like the movie saying, “Yep, this is going to be wild.” The fonts are usually bold or goofy, and the music is something upbeat or ironic, like a pop song during a fight.

Some movies go all out with animated intros or montages of the characters being total disasters. It’s not just for style—it helps you get what kind of chaos is coming. Like, if it’s a buddy cop movie, you’ll probably see clips of them arguing or messing up. If it’s more of a parody, the title might even make fun of action movies on purpose. It’s all about showing off the comedy and getting you hyped before the story even starts.

Other times, they just flash the title really quick and jump straight into the action. But even then, the way it’s done still tells you a lot. If the title slams onto the screen with a loud sound or shows up during a dumb moment, you know it’s going to be fun and not super serious. Basically, the title sequence is like the movie’s way of saying, “Get ready, this is going to be dumb, loud, and awesome.” And honestly, that’s what makes it cool.

Codes/Conventions titles in that genre

 So, in action-comedy movies, there’s always that classic setup: two characters who totally don’t vibe at first. One’s serious, the other’s a total clown, and they get thrown into some wild situation together. That’s like the go-to formula. You’ll see them arguing, messing up, and somehow still saving the day. It’s all about the contrast—like, the comedy comes from how different they are and how they deal with the chaos around them.

The action scenes are nuts, but not in a scary way. It’s more like stuff blowing up while someone’s cracking a joke or falling over. You’ll get car chases, fights with random objects (like a frying pan or a garden gnome), and villains who are kind of dumb but still dangerous. The editing’s fast, the music’s upbeat, and everything feels like it’s moving a million miles an hour—but in a fun way. It’s not supposed to be realistic, just entertaining.

And yeah, the whole vibe is loud, colorful, and kind of ridiculous. Props are weird, costumes are extra, and the dialogue is full of dumb jokes and one-liners. Even the serious moments usually get interrupted by something funny. That’s what makes action comedies so fun—they don’t take themselves too seriously, and you’re just along for the ride. If you’re making one, just lean into the chaos and make sure it’s something people will laugh at and remember.

Narrative Structure

 So, action comedies usually follow this basic three-part story thing—beginning, middle, and end—but they throw in a bunch of jokes and wild stuff to keep it fun. At the start, you meet the main characters, and they’re usually total opposites. One’s serious, the other’s a mess, and something crazy happens that forces them to team up. It’s awkward, they don’t get along, and that’s where the comedy kicks in.

Then in the middle, everything just gets more chaotic. They’re trying to solve the problem, but they keep messing up or getting into ridiculous situations. There’s usually a fight scene, or something blowing up, sometimes both at once. But the best part is how they argue and joke the whole time. Even when stuff gets serious, they’re still cracking jokes or doing something dumb that somehow works out. It’s like action, but with way more personality.

By the end, there’s always a big final showdown. The heroes finally figure things out, but not in a clean or perfect way. It’s usually messy, loud, and hilarious. They win, but it’s more like they survive by luck and teamwork. And then there’s always one last joke or funny moment before the credits roll. It’s not deep or anything, but it’s fun to watch, and that’s kind of the whole point.

                                                  

Logo Designs

 So yeah, I made this logo for my studio, it's called Bagle Entertainment studio. I wanted it to be funny but also kind of show that we are having fun, so I used two bagels with arms coming out of them, shaking hands. It’s random, but that’s the point. Comedy logos don’t need to be serious—they just need to make people smile or go “what the heck is that?” in a good way. I kept the font messy and hand-drawn to make it feel more personal, like something you’d sketch in your notebook during class.

I didn’t go crazy with colors or effects. Just kept it simple: white background, golden-brown bagels, and light skin-tone arms. I wanted the handshake to be the main thing people notice, because it outlandishly weird. It’s weird, but it works. Plus, it’s easy to remember. Like, if you saw this on a short film or YouTube video, you’d know it’s not taking itself too seriously.

Honestly, I just wanted something that felt like me, not super polished, but creative and kind of funny. I think logos should match the vibe of the people behind them. If your studio’s all about comedy and having fun, then your logo should reflect that. So yeah, Bagle Entertainment is weird, but it’s got personality, and that’s what makes it cool. also, I purposely misspelled bagel because why not.

Research P4

The story stars Billy Badass, a hero who is cool, skilled, and loves to fight. The humor comes from his casual violence and the non-heroic reactions of everyone he encounters. Billy's simple goal is blocked by increasingly ridiculous goons. For the action, Billy's simple move must cause huge, ridiculous damage to the environment—a light tap sends a bad guy flying through three walls.

The location must contrast Billy's power. We use a calm place, like an Art Gallery or a Luxury Spa, which Billy easily destroys with his overwhelming force. Mise-en-scène (what you see) uses bright, high-key light, avoiding the darkness of a real action film. We film Billy’s action with smooth, powerful camera moves to show his skill; then immediately use a static wide shot to highlight the hilarious mess he leaves behind.

Sound delivers the final joke. We use juxtaposition, giving Billy's crushing punch a small, funny noise, like a tiny squeak or a cash register kaching. We also rely on exaggerated Foley on the victims, making simple injuries sound cartoonishly painful—a quick shove is scored with the slow, wobbly sound of a BOING. This sound design makes Billy Badass's extreme violence consistently hilarious.
