Video Joke Film
Other Group Video #2
The two video both do a great job in portraying the main idea of the joke. Two things I want to focus on the most in the contrast and affinity of lines and movement.
In video #1 visual lines are created when the kid playing with the train slides the train in front of the camera. Line are also made when the mom tells the kid to go to his room. she points with the washing wand and it creates a visual line towards the child. In the second video lines are presented to frame the characters. Often the objects on the the screen in the foreground and background are framing the actor and help focus the attention on him or her.
Both videos to a great job with visual lines and uniquely use them in different ways.
In video #1 the use of movement is apparent when they do the flashback scene. This helps the viewer stay in chronological order with how the kid developed the bad language. The montage moves from scene to scene clearly and helps in the movement of quick character development. In the second video the use of movement is clearly shown when the husband is at the dining room table with the blind fold on. The cuts between the wife and the husband help to audience understand that she is preparing a surprise for him. Both films entirely use precise movement to keep a consistency throughout the entirety of the film.
Overall, the editing and framing of both videos were great. The framing composition and transitions made for clean cuts and a clear outcome.

Reimagining Visual Framing

| Original Image by Salvador Dali |
I chose to manipulate an image by Salvador Dali. I find this image to be very interesting in that is represents a sense of fear in the unknown. The man is located in the bottom left corner holding a cross high into the air as if he is trying to ward off the unusually long-legged elephants. In the photo and the manipulation it is easy to tell a difference in visual intensity, the rule of thirds, and depth cues.
The photo by Dali contains much visual intensity. The white horse is the dominant focus of the photo with three elephants following close behind and another elephant off in the distance. The man in the corner is much smaller than then the animals and he is normal in figure. The animals however have elongated legs and are carrying unusual objects on their backs. This visual intensity displayed in this image grabs your attention from the start and immediately draws you in.
In the image there is also in obvious sense of depth. The man is located in the left foreground of the image and the elephants and located father back with the lone elephant even further back in the distance. The use of light also helps revel depth cues with the dark more contrasting colors towards the front and the lighter pastel colors in the back.
The rule of thirds is used perfectly in this image. It is easy to see that Dali’s artwork can be divided into three separate sections. If you were to draw three lines evenly across the image the first section would contain the man holding the cross. The second section would me of the three elephants and horse, and the third section would be of the clouds and the lone elephant in the distance.
I chose to reframe the image to that of just the man kneeling holding the cross in the air. By doing this, the image looses its visual intensity as a whole but focuses on the man and his actions. Because the image is reframed on just the man we can’t hypothesize any explanation for his actions. You feel a sense of loneness and wonder. There is also less depth in the reframed image. Instead of three layers of depth we only get two, the man and the horizon. The rule of thirds still applies in the reframing including the man, cross, then the sky.
