OK This weeks blog required us to make two videos about a joke we chose in class. These are our interpretations of the joke... take a look and see if you get it...
ANALYSIS
For this weeks assignment we were put in groups and were told to chose a joke from a list and tell it in two different ways visually.
The joke we chose, to sum up really quick, was about a man who's tremendous love for beans would eventually be his downfall. The man loved beans so much he was forced to chose between having a wife or having beans... in other words a smelly lonely life. So he devotes his life to this woman but one day on his way home he stops to have a bowl of beans. On the way home he starts to develop some gas but just hopes his wife doesn't notice. When he arrives at home his wife catches him by surprise, blindfolding him and sitting him down at the dining room table. She leaves the room so he decides to squeak a few off. The wife comes back and unveils the blindfold. To the mans surprise there are other dinner guest at the table....
AWKWARD.....
Anyways we chose to different styles for the movies we filmed. The first one I'll analyze is the one called BEANS. The approach we took towards this one was to emphasize shape and movement and we showed this two concepts in many ways. We showed shape in many ways, the first example is when the man is sitting at the table eating the bowl of beans. The table is rectangular contrasting with the circular bowl. This scene was also framed really well so that all the horizontal lines points to the point of reference which in this case was our character. The first movie we also put an emphasize on movement, there are not as many static shots but rather the character moving through the frame. This helps move the story along.
The second movie A Wonderful Escape we put a big emphasize on line and space. For example of line we used a shot where our main character is in the foreground but there is a far horizon line all the way at the back of the diner. This helps the eye focus more on the character in the for group while also establishing perspective. We also used space, similarly when we had are character in both flat and deep space, flat being the close-ups of him eating, and deep being the shots where you can see the back of the diner.
