I thought that it would be a good idea If I looked into the style of filming that I wanted to do and use what is already been made to get inspiration in my own work.
I like the idea of having a sort of conscience style of film, as in it is not the character that is speaking, but the narrative is by the characters conscience or an inanimate object in different scenarios.
I think that I will look into the different videos/sketches that have a similar theme to this, also I think that I would benefit from looking at the dry satirical humour that I may be using.
Coming of Age
Coming of Age is a British situation comedy written by Tim Dawson produced in house by BBC Productions and aired on BBC Three. The show takes a direct look at five sixth form students, Jas, Ollie, Matt, Chloe and DK, who are living in Abingdon. Their lives rotate around the fictional Wooton College, their bedrooms, and as they're always getting thrown out of the local pub, Ollie's garden shed. A pilot was originally aired in 2007, followed by the first series in 2008 and a second in 2010.
Coming of Age is set in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. Elements are filmed on location in Abingdon with the exterior of Wooton College being the Cassio campus of West Herts College in Watford. Most of the show however is filmed in front of a live studio audience at BBC Elstree studios.
There have been 15 episodes of Coming of Age broadcast so far. There are number of differences between the pilot and the subsequent series. Most notably, Alex Kew and Amy Yamazaki, who played Ollie and Jas in the pilot, have been replaced by Ceri Phillips and Hannah Job. Also, Dani Harmer originally played Chloe, but was replaced by Anabel Barnston. As well as new sets, the theme tune also changed, from "Steady, As She Goes" by The Raconteurs to a specially written piece by Birmingham band Kate Goes and Richie Webb.

2 Pints of Lager And A packet Of Crisps
Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps is a BBC sitcom created and written by Susan Nickson. It is set in the town of Runcorn in Cheshire, England, and revolves around the lives of five twenty-somethings. The show was first broadcast in 2001 on BBC Two; its final episodes to date were two special episodes shown in December 2009.
Although Two Pints is largely comedy, it sometimes, especially at the end of a series, becomes more dramatic and serious. Such storylines have included Janet and Jonny's split, Jonny's shooting and Janet's imminent departure as a cruise singer.
Will Mellor has described the show as being "driven by sex and alcohol" and the show is known for its adult, sometimes scatological humour, mostly involving references to sex and private bodily functions. Vulgar language is also used, except that the word 'fuck' is uttered only in the last episode of each series.
BBC Two broadcast the first series, BBC Choice screened series two but was re branded as BBC Three shortly before it screened series three, and has shown the first run of each new series ever since. BBC Two also repeated the show, though only once, previously shown every Thursday.
Series four ended with Jonny being shot by armed police, and viewers were asked to vote, by text or phone, on Jonny's fate. Series five began with a funeral, which was revealed to be that of Donna's mother, Flo.
The Archer is The Waterloo pub at 88 High Street in the Old Town area of Runcorn, near the canal, and for the series is renamed after the series first script editor, Paul Mayhew-Archer, who was later replaced by Jon Brown. The Waterloo is only used for the exterior shots whereas the interiors are recorded in the studio at BBC Television Centre in London.

Shameless
Shameless is a BAFTA award-winning British drama television series set in the fictional Chatsworth council estate, Manchester, England. Produced by Company Pictures for Channel 4, the first seven-episode series aired weekly on Tuesday nights at 10pm from 13 January 2004. The comedy drama, centred on British underclass and working class culture, has been accorded critical acclaim by various sections of the British media, including The Sun newspaper and Newsnight Review on BBC Two. Shameless is one of the most successful recent British TV programmes.
The programme was created and, at least initially, mainly written by Paul Abbott, who is also the programme's executive producer. Much of the series is based on Abbott's own experiences growing up in Burnley in a situation similar to that of the Gallagher children.
Shameless is noted for having a style very different from other British comedies. A "moving camera" shooting technique (employing few masks or filters) is employed. The show’s interiors are filmed on staged sets and occasionally on location. The music is composed by Murray Gold.
Each episode begins and ends with a narrative voice-over by one of the characters highlighting the themes of the episode. The opening and closing voiceovers are often humorous in nature, as the point of the episode has already been shown.
The commentator of each episode is normally the one on whom the plot focuses. This was much more prominent in the first two series, where a plot revolving around one character would normally prevent any other prominent sub-plots involving other characters; in series three, co-abiding plots revolving around different characters are more common. However, unlike many shows, these plots are not entirely separate and the plots always support each other to the episodes' conclusions.

The Inbetweeners
The Inbetweeners is a BAFTA-nominated English sitcom about a group of teenage friends struggling through sixth form at school. Written by Damon Beesley and Iain Morris, the show was originally produced for the digital terrestrial television channel E4.[4] E4 originally aired the first series in May 2008, and Channel 4 also broadcast it in November that year. The series, set in a typical suburb of outer London, follows Will (Simon Bird), who left a private school to go to Rudge Park Comprehensive due to his recently divorced mother's financial troubles.
Joe McNally, writing for The Independent, commends an "exquisitely accurate dialogue, capturing the feel of adolescence perfectly" and Will Dean of The Guardian comments that the show "captures the pathetic sixth-form male experience quite splendidly".
The series is often contrasted with E4's successful Teen drama, Skins, commentators noting that The Inbetweeners satirises what teenage years are more frequently like rather than what you would wish them to be.

Peep Show
Peep Show is a British situation comedy starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb. The programme is written by Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, with additional material by Mitchell and Webb themselves, amongst others. It has been broadcast on Channel 4 since 2003, with the sixth series aired in 2009 and a seventh series commissioned for 2010.[1] Stylistically, the show uses point of view shots with the thoughts of main characters Mark and Jeremy audible as voiceovers.
Peep Show follows the often sexually-frustrated lives of two men in their late twenties and early thirties, Mark Corrigan (Mitchell) and Jeremy Usbourne (Webb). Having met while at the fictional Dartmouth University together - they occasionally refer to themselves as 'The El Dude Brothers' in reference to their student days - they now share a flat in Croydon, South London.
Mark was, from series one until the beginning of series 6, a loan manager at the fictional JLB Credit (JLB Credit entered administration at the start of series 6). Mark is the more financially successful of the two, but is extremely uncomfortable socially and pessimistic about nearly everything. Jeremy, who at the start of the first series has recently split up with his girlfriend Big Suze, now rents Mark's spare room. He usually has a much more optimistic and energetic outlook on the world than Mark, yet his self-proclaimed talent as a musician is yet to be recognised, and he is not as popular or attractive as he would like to think himself.
