Joke Video: No I Will Not Sleep With You

In our joke video, we used LINE and RYTHYM to contribute to the video. We framed the actors with many lines within the shots. Inside the library, the boy is framed by the horizontal bookshelves as well as the bends in the walls. He is also framing himself using his newspaper. The horizontal shelves and the vertical poles that hold up the shelves frame the girl. The chairs also do a great deal of framing the character when the director uses medium shots and close up shots.

Outside the library, the two characters are framed very well by using lines. The railings make the characters the focal point of the image and lead your eye directly to them.

The scenes flowed very smoothly. They flowed from shot to shot while using all of the rules learned in class (rule of thirds, 180 degree rule, etc). This made is very RYTHYMIC

The use of lines created AFFINITY in the shots. All of the lines used were similar in each character. The CONTRAST was seen in form of costumes and angle. At different points throughout the video, different angles were used to show many things. At one point the girl was shot at a low angle to show that she was in charge of the conversation and the powerful one, while the boy was shot at a high angle which caused him to seem weak and nervous, which he was.

Although we only made one video, I feel we did a great job of showing visual and framing concepts.

Visual Framing

It can be inferred that the original image has two very central things going on in the image. However, when one first looks at this image, people seem to notice the house first and then move their eye to the man walking and the city in the background. This is normal, because the house is the biggest and most focal point of the image, it is detailed more than the rest, and it is a flying house. That is why I chose move a little to the right and frame the man and the city, because there is a lot, if not possibly more going on in that small part of the image compared to the huge levitating house.  The original image is an XWS, and extreme wide shot. We know this because it shows the character inside the location. The framed image is a wide shot (WS) because it shows him from head to toe, and not completely showing the full location. In the framed image, the man seems to be shot from a low angle that in turn, makes him look more powerful. Also, in the framed image, there is a wonderful use of lines. The lines show movement. The three darkest and most visible lines frame the man and show that he is walking the opposite way and towards the city. All of the other lines follow and meet the three lines to show the same direction. In the original image, you can tell that the man is walking toward the city and away from the house as well, because of the lines. There is also a lot of objectivity and subjectivity in the image. It is objective because we can see that a man is leaving away from the house towards a city, but we don’t know why he is leaving or moving towards the city. That is what makes it subjective as well. We can also see a lot of symbolism in the image as well. The man dressed in all black can be a symbol for something bad happening and that would be the reason he is leaving. The black and unidentifiable city could mean that the man doesn’t know where he is truly going. There is a lot going on in this image, both the original and framed one, it is just al up to interpretation.
