00:00of all the principles that we're going to discuss timing is probably the most subjective meaning
00:15it's the most sort of unique to each individual what they respond to what timing they think is
00:22funny or don't or not think is funny when you compare it to stuff like we talked about contrast
00:27or composition staging a lot of those things are more sort of just mechanics that people have
00:33developed and and defined over time where you can cherry pick and see what has sort of been
00:38successful again timing isn't as definitive as that in the same way we talked about contrast in
00:43week number one timing can also be dictated by contrast meaning if you think about an action
00:49or a line if you just imagine in your head what's the normal way to say it the normal phrasing the
00:54normal rhythm the normal speed well how do i change that rhythm how do i change that speed
00:59is there something that you would expect to happen really fast that you draw it and you make it go
01:03very slow is there something that you would expect to take a long time that you draw it and it goes
01:07very fast so you're playing with the contrast of the timing and that also comes back to sort of
01:12pattern recognition we are pattern recognition creatures and so in the same way that we talked
01:16about you know rule of threes right you have one two and then the third one's the joke you can create
01:20patterns that way with timing as well which is if you think of the metronome and you've got a boom
01:25boom boom now you've broken the pattern and you can kind of accent a joke a moment a line with
01:32understanding that timing or of course you could speed it up right boom boom boom you know that's
01:37like oh that's funny because you're breaking the pattern that has been established
