Editorial Humor Injection

he practice of deliberately creating or enhancing humor through editorial choices, rather than simply preserving humorous moments from the raw footage. This technique uses juxtaposition, timing, sound design, and graphic additions (like memes) to make dense or dry information more accessible and engaging. It's a conscious decision to prioritize palatability and personality, trusting the editor's own sense of humor as a proxy for the audience's. A key application of this technique is to create tonal counterpoint, where moments of humor are placed adjacent to dark or dramatic moments to amplify the impact of both through contrast.
