Ever wanted to make fun of something? Well one way to do it is by speed roasting! Make a video in which you make fun of different things all at once! It could be a product or a movie or a series of products or movies. If you wanted to make fun of one thing, make a longer version of it and roast it in many ways. Or, roast a bunch of things in short separate ways.
Example: Quick roasts of a variety of fast food restaurants.

Create a poster or ad for an upcoming movie. Let the ad’s theme and movie contradict themselves. For instance, you can have your movie be about kids playing on a Summer day, but your ad shows a spooky side to the plot. A good “everything is not what it seems” kicker. Your movie could be an action packed movie called “Fight It”, but in your ad you can show everyone laughing as if it is a comedy. There are many ways you can mashup this assignment. Make it your own!
