I choose to use Incredibles 2 for my assignment because Disney is known for its animation and editing. Contrast This clip was a perfect example of contrast because it showed two completely different situations. The video first starts by focusing on Jack Jack vigorously fighting with the raccoon that invaded their trash can. After their big fight the movie cuts to inside the house where Bob is peacefully sleeping on the couch. The contrast here is the difference between the crazy fight and calm sleep Symbolism For my symbolism clip I choose to use a clip from the video where Jack Jack notices the raccoon. While Bob is trying to put Jack Jack to sleep, Jack Jack notices an image on the tv screen. The image was of a burglar in an old time film. The burglar had large strips on as well as an eye mask. Jack Jack then notices that there is a creature out the window. The creature also has stripes and an eye mask. This leads Jack Jack to think the raccoon is a burglar. The symbolis...

Video:  https://youtu.be/k4RTaZ0aRn4 Symbolism For our Symbolism shot, we used instruments. Our first clip zooms into my flute's head joint and our second clip zooms out of Noah's trombone bell. Our symbol in this video would be an instrument because as the camera zooms in and out the object remains an instrument. Contrast Our Contrast shot showed Woody reading his book and then transitioned to my nephew dancing his little heart out. This was an example of Contrast because it showed two very different actions. In this case, woody calmly reading versus my nephew wildly dancing.   Parallelism  Our Parallelism shot first showed me walking then showed Ms.Henerson's precious snake slithering. We used this as parallelism because both clips share the theme of subjects traveling down a hallway.  Leitmotif Our Leitmotif video Constantly showed our friend Eva clapping and yelling "BAND TEN HUT" Then it would quickly show the subject(s) come to attention. We thou...

Carrie (1976 Film) Produced by Paul Monash and adapted from Stephen King's novel I chose to comment on a few of the camera angles in the 1976 movie "Carrie" because I personally find old movies entertaining/fascinating. I find the themes, the acting, and the production of old movies interesting. Carrie was the first old movie that stuck with me for having the strangest theme, funniest acting, and the oddest production. I thought Carrie would be perfect for this assignment because it has many shots that provoke different emotions. I could also watch Carrie a million times so having an excuse to watch it again was pretty good too. This is the iconic "Plug it up" scene which I would consider a choker shot.   In the article ' Different Camera Angles Create Different Emotions " it states that shots like this one help the viewer feel whatever the characters are feeling. This particular shot allows the viewer to enter the girls' emotions and...

I commented on both Maria's and Miguel's camera shots. For Maria, I commented on her point of view shot, chocker shot, reaction shot, and her head-on shot. The one I liked the most was her Point of view shot because it really made me feel as if I was inside her eyes and chasing her brother. the way she incorporated both of her arms in the shot really helped create the illusion of looking through her eyes. The choker shot reminded me of when movies zoom into the main character right before they show a flashback. This particular shot is told to be "revealing" or "unflattering" with that said, it helps the viewer feel closer to the character. Her reaction shot was amusing yet intense. His emotions were so strong that it made me feel scared for him and even wonder what would've made him react that way. Her head-on shot was very funny. The way the camera fell made me feel as if I was punched and fell to the ground. For Miguel, I commented on his establish...
