Video Joke Film




My Group's Video #1


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.
