| Wikipedia says: "Jumping the shark is a colloquialism used by TV critics and fans to denote that point in a TV show or movie series' history where the plot veers off into absurd story lines or out-of-the-ordinary characterizations, particularly for a show with falling ratings apparently becoming more desperate to draw viewers in. In the process of undergoing these changes, the TV or movie series loses its original appeal."
Start your short film off normally, then pick a point to totally "jump the shark" with a ridiculous twist. The more ridiculous the better. |
