The Process Piece assignment gave us various ideas on how to express a concept in a narrative story. What caught my attention was the concept of laughter, and how it changes throughout different stages of life. I wanted to show to the listener the age of a person by only hearing his/her laugh. In addition, I also wanted to experience the difficulties that might or might not get a laugh of a person. This Process Piece is basically a chronological analysis of the evolution of laughter through age.
Something remarkable with this project is that at the beginning as a group we make some guesses on differentiating different ages and maybe some different nationalities or cultural background. Although we came up with things that I didn’t expected, the idea of laugh came as a universal concept.
Laughter transcends cultural background, and also nationality. The chronological order that we gave to laughter tells a story in itself going from the process of a from baby to an elder person. The process was very interesting and fun, while it was very easy to get a laugh from a kid; it took a while to make laugh a teenager. We decided to include the LOL laugh instead of a real laugh because I believe that the expression says a lot about this new generation that mostly laugh through the phone via text.
Following our search of laugh on different ages, after the teenager stage, the older they were the easiest was to get a laugh from people. Elder people and babies or kids, have a lot in common and no matter where they come from I’m very sure that the results are going to be very similar.
The definition of universal make the perfect fit for the concept of laugh in the world. According to the dictionary is affecting, or done by all people or things in the world or in a particular group; applicable to all cases. This is what laugh can bring to all people, it makes no segregation.
