For my groups joke videos we decided to make a silent film and a voice over film. In the silent film we used slides to show the audience what was happening in the movie. This is a type of didactic learning because we are actually writing the lines down. We also use a variety of actual and virtual lines. For actual lines we show the mother and the son looking at each other. We made sure all lines in the frame were focusing on the characters. We use virtual lines many times throughout this movie. These consist of the mother looking out of frame at her son playing. To create rhythm in this movie we used movement through the frame and secondary movements. Movement through the frame was used we the boy is exiting the room to go to time out. We use secondary movements because we only show movement of the arms. By keeping the camera still we used simple movements in our video. We also use shape in this video. The mother has a round head portraying her innocence and mother qualities. The boy has a triangle face showing that he is going to be bad. We use silent movie background music throughout this film. This music effectively uses tension and release to heighten the audience then bring them back down. The music starts off pleasant while the boy is playing but right before he is bad the music changes to a dark fast paced tone. This continues while the boy is being bad until he gets out of time out, when the music changes back to a pleasant tone.

In the second movie we used a voice over. This is a type of active learning because the audience must listen and make their own conclusions. We also used simple camera movements in this movie keeping the camera at the fixed position every shot. Rhythm is established by movement through the frame and primary and secondary movements. Movement through the frame is used when you see the mother walk up and grab the son’s leg. This shows her legs and arms moving portraying primary and secondary movements.

Well since my audio is not uploading right now i thought i would write about my movie clip.  In the opening scene they show the troopers in their uniforms.  You can see actual lines on their uniforms making them stick out more.  Also if you look closely you can see the posters in the background.  Lines always point to the character and in this frame the characters head is right in line with the posters.  Most of the scenes show secondary moments because the troopers are sitting down.  The cinematographer also uses virtual lines when a character is out of frame yet still talking.  The virtual lines are implying that he is looking at the other officers while he is talking but in reality they might not even be there.  A variety of movements are used through the frame such as people walking and moving to get tasks done.  The scenes with the troopers uses a lot of square shapes.  To tell the difference between the captain and the regular troopers the camera moves from medium shots showing the troopers to a close up only focusing on the captain.  I believe they did this to show his dominance and superiority over the other troopers.

Well since my video is not working i decided to write my critque of How To Be Creative by Hugh MacLeod.
This article was helpful in some senses but some of the tips weren't to helpful.  There were three suggestions that I agreed with most the first, Ignore everyone. He states the more original your idea the less help others will be.  This is because no one knows you better than you.  This has helped me in my creative process by ignoring what my friends think.  When i go home over breaks I take acting classes.  My friends think this is funny however i ignore them so I can truly be creative. The second is, Don't try to stand out from a crowd, avoid crowds all together.  This is a good creative suggestion because no one wants to be the person out of a crowd.  If they do get picked they are very lucky considering all the people want the same thing.  However if you avoid crowds all together you can expand on your ideas without the interference of others.  The idea you come up with will be all yours because you created it alone, singled out of the crowd.  The third suggestions i liked was you have to find your own shtick.  By this he means your own voice, something that makes you stand out.  It could be months even years until the AH Ha moment hits but when it does its because you found your own voice to express.  I thought this article had good suggestions.  If you want to find out more check out the article. HOW TO BE CREATIVE
