For the two videos me and my group did, we chose to do completely different approaches. The first one was supposed to be voice overs, but instead, we chose to do the old film type movie. We wanted to do the old film because it was the easiest to do in such a short time. We honestly didn’t think there would be other old film like video jokes but we were all wrong…! The first video pretty much got straight to the point and didn’t have any other loops. The second video was a contrast from the first one and the most interesting because it was my first time using voice overs. It was also my first acting debut!
The videos used affinity between the space used. In both videos, we used close ups and medium shots. In the second video, there were lots of close ups on the detective where you couldn't really see the room. Then the shots changed to where you could see the whole office and where he was sitting at. When the lawyer walked in, the viewer could really see the space of the office. Also, in the first video, we used close ups on the lawyer when he was reacting to the papers he was reading. You could really read his emotions and reactions. When he was talking on the phone we used medium shots to show the space of the working area.
The contrasting element of the videos is the rhythm. The first video we made we sped up to make it seem like an older film. There was a different movement within the different frames of the videos. In the second video, we didn't manipulate the movement and speed so the rhythm stayed normal.
The videos actively and didactically told the joke to the audience. The first video was straight to the point and the viewer knew exactly what was happening. The video was pretty didactic in describing the joke. The video with the detective was more active because there was a more deeper meaning behind it. The viewer has to try to understand what we are trying to convey. You dont really know what the end of the video will bring until you actually watch the whole thing.
