Our Joke :)

                                           Joke #1- Our Black and White Silent video. Written by me.

                                           Joke #2- Our Voice Over video. Written by Tyler Dawley

In Joke 1 we used movement more than we did in joke 2.  We used movement in the first joke by moving the camera a lot back in forth from character to character; we used this to emphasize the arguing between characters without using sound.  

In joke 2 we used Line and Shape. We used lines by when the doctor is staying outside the elevator; the doctor is staying in the middle of the crease of the elevator door and the frame of the door; instead of the doctor staying in the middle of the crease of the elevator door.  We used shape by in the family room we had a round table that made your eye lead you to the main character.

Contrast and affinity is also displayed between these videos. These videos contrast between one another by joke 1 was a black and white silent film; so everything had to be exaggerated more than joke 2 because there was no sound to help out the story, unlike joke 2 because we used voice-overs instead.  In joke 2 we use deep space in the hospital scene when the family is leaving; in joke 1 we only used flat and limited space.  In joke 2 we used more than 1 location, where in joke 1 we used one location.  These videos are similar by how we used limited and flat space in both.  But overall I felt these videos were very different from one another.

Tension and Release is also used in both videos. Tension is built in both videos by in joke 1 we built up the tension by leaving the punch line of the joke at the very end of the video, when the punch line was given the tension was released. In joke 2 the tension was built up at the beginning when the doctor came up to the parents saying how they don’t know if their son will survive. The tension was released when the family walked out of the hospital and their son was ok.
