Armstrong and Miller - RAF Pilots - D Day.


Two Pilots: Armstrong and Miller.


This hilarious, yet realistic background clip is about two individuals, who happen to be RAF pilots who are about to fight D Day, are on a boat filled with other passengers who are about to go out to war. This clip is filled with an insane amount of humour. The style of this comedy was somewhat very vintage, and was set in black and white, to show that it was set it in the olden times, when the World Wars had been present. Throughout the first part of the clip, you can instantly witness that the two RAF pilots happen to be wearing baby swimming products, which fills the clip with loads of humour. The writer plays with the language in a wide range of ways. Firstly, the writer has used the specific type of word, which is ''Man!'' that is used at the end of a majority of ever sentence they say, this relates to slang.

 Additionally, the way they are conversing, they highly understand each other in regard to the dialect. One of the pilots say ''He must be a colossal gaylord'' and the other pilot replies ''True Man!'' implies that they are speaking in their own dialect. What I mean by dialect is that the features of vocabulary and grammar show the user belonging to a particular regional group. 

Secondly, I have also found some interesting type of terminology contained throughout the clip, which was rather hilarious and amazingly funny, and I, myself, had also found it rather interesting. The writer contained some Rhetorical Questions. ''Do I Look like a mad racist?'' which tells us that there are a range of different terminology used throughout the clip. What highly interested me is the fact that the way they speak throughout the clip is not so similar to as we speak today in our modern society. Language has developed into a more slang form over the years, rather than mild frozen register. However, the language used within this clip is considered as midly formal, due to the fact that there are no broken words, or shortened down.

The way the script is written as a colloquial type of register, because it is not literary, or highly formal. What I have also witnessed is the vocabulary of the language, which connects to the terminology called lexis. An appropriate amount of lexis is used throughout the clip. For e.g. 'colossal' the vocabulary used within this clip is linked to the olden times, because language varies as the years pass by.
