Contrasting the Video Assignement

In the First Video "Toy Train, we concentrated more on space and rhythm. The visual rhythm could be seen in the actors' attire. We used the same colored shirts, which were green, to tie in a relationship between Tommy and his mother. We also used a variety of shots that were close ups on both Tommy and his mother that were also similar.  We decided to use these similar shots to portray their contrasting feelings and to help with the films visual rhythm.  For the space, were focused on using flat space for the most of the video to let the audience focus on the characters and their emotions. We also used contrast. The father (me) was wearing a white shirt for a difference in color rather than the mother and Tommy's green shirt.  The affinity was tied into the visual rhythm where Tommy and his mother were both men for comedic purposes, and again, they were wearing close attire.

For the second video, "Tony Pepperoni,"we focused on line and shape and movement.  We used line and shape in various shots to display Tony (Yui Chen) and his mother at different angles.  We used high elevated shots when Tony is on the ground to show his little power. In contrast we showed the mother's high power and strength by making the shots at a lower angle.  For movement, we used a variety of scenes to show different angles of the movement. We also used the text and subtext.  The subtext came into play when Tony Pepperoni was walking to his room and slams the door. You can tell that Tony is angry without any words being said through his movement.  For the text, you can understand the feelings of the characters during the voice overs.
