Symbolism - Lia and I chose to film a poster of a Trojan because that is the Lely mascot. The next shot is of some Lely students talking in a hallway. The Trojan is the symbol for education and scholarship. It signals the viewers that the events are taking place at a high school.
Contrast - The first scene shows a student who is diligently reading an AP Macroeconomics textbook. The next scene shows a student who is wasting class time by texting. The last shot shows both students in the same room, but they are doing completely different things. There is a contrast between the work ethics between the students.
Simultaneity - The film sequence shows Lia and I walking up the stairs at the same time. The camera switches from an aerial view of Lia, to a medium shot of me, and finally to a two shot of Lia and I bumping into each other on the stairwell.
Leitmotif - Lia and I decided to use the William Tell Overture as background music to two scenes of students running to get to class between bells. For both scenes the music is supposed to indicate a sense of frenzy and panic to the viewers.
Parallelism - The first scene is of me drinking from a water fountain. The next shot is of Lia drinking from a water bottle. Both shots are connected by the act of drinking water, but the occur during different times an places. The two shots highlight similarities between Lia and I while acting as a transition.
you and lia did a great job with the project! nice work!
ReplyDeleteThe Contrast shots really hit home for me. It showed both of my moods when it comes to studying for any of my Ap classes. I could really feel how both people felt and the shots really helped with that that. The simultaneity was also nice as one Lia was walking up the stairs while you were walking down the stairs, almost as if you were switching places. The shots were really well taken and I enjoyed them as well. The music chosen for the Leit Motif created the feeling of speed or a chase, the running done in the scene went really well with the music chosen. Overall great job with the master shots.
