The Release: The Crash & Deception

The Crash

Deception

The Review:

We took two very different approaches to our joke. The first, The Crash, is a literal interpretation of the joke itself. Where as the second, Deception, is a more abstract view of the joke. However much they are the different in their subtexts and text, they are similar in mechanics and binary. The two films utilized similar space and line, throughout the entire films. The two films also play with way information is transferred to the viewer.

The Crash and Deception utilize very similar space and line between characters. In the films the characters are placed right next to each other to symbolize mutual trust between the characters for this joke is base on deception. We when even further in The Crash and actually had the character with there arms around each other. Lines are establish between character eyes and since there is only two points of interest for the characters to acknowledge few lines are established. But these line lead the viewers eyes to the two characters, this line continually reestablished itself to reiterate this focus. Line is also very important to the understanding of these films. Line use in The Crash is very important because it is a silent film, so line is especially need to draw focus.

The two films are however differing in the way they present information to the viewer. In Deception we chose to go for a more didactive approach because there was a lot more information for the viewer to digest to we need to verbally give the information. Also because Deception is the more abstract of the two and the understanding of the joke may have been hard to achieve. However The Crash takes an active approach, letting the viewer watch and takes what they will and draws their own conclusion, this is done also with the help of the film being silent.

The Review: Panic Room

I review Panic Room, the scene where the burglars are trying to break in, in an audio commentary.



Original Panic Room: Breaking in Scene

Re-Framing: Ben Goossens

Original

The Review:
This Ben Goossen piece is very interesting in its completeness. It eludes many visual cues, dealing with rule of thirds, and visual movement and rhythm. How ever when I when to re-frame this particular image I found that a Close Up on the girl in the foreground give the most visual intensity and interest while still retaining an affinity to the original. In the original each point of interest falls within the rule of thirds, when the image is divided up, the girl the tunnel, the closest girl’s face, eyes, and mouth all fall on these lines. This also holds true for my re-cut image. The visual movement of the original image is more active than mine, in that the three women hint at a forward motion, because the small women is in the back in a dark tunnel while gradually getting bigger till all you can see is a large head of what looks, like an identical women in the front. This movement and rhythm this increased with the path below them and the lines that each of them make as they move forward. My photo on the other had is very static and has not motion, actual it looks as if the women could be posing. This re-framing takes away the background, which gave the women motion and movement, unlike in the other image where it looks as if she is going to move right out of frame. In think that my re-framing gives a little more of a visual intensity by focusing the eye on thinks that normally are over looked when smothered by background. Like the eyes and the lines that are created from them, the color and shapes pronounce the interest that is upon her face. With that said both images are very much the same in affinity and subtext. Both images elude the same somber feeling, the overcasty grays and melancholy presence on the faces of the women all harkens back to the same solemn tone.
