7: Joke Video Review

Joke 1


Joke 2



In the first joke we utilized the concept of rhythm. There is a part in the movie when the main character farts three separate time and in between each far he is doing some sort of activity. This gives this makes the audience pay more attention to the movie because it is easy to follow. In the second video we used the concept of lines. We used straight lines throughout the movie, which contrast with the curvilinear shape of the beans. We did this to show the contrast that the beans had on his body. For example, throughout the whole movie main character is wearing a stripped shit. Also, in the dinner scene we used the moldings on the wall which point directly to the main characters face, to focus the audience on the main character. In both movies we used semantic sounds to represent thing that were going on in the video. For instance, the farting sounds and other sound effect throughout the video with the use of dubbing. In the second video we used analogous sounds to give a symbolic meaning. When the main character was first eating the beans, we used a song to foreshadow a horrible outcome, which would be the farting. Throughout the rest of the movie whenever the main character was about to have a farting episode, the song would play again. This also could be seen as a use of a leit motif. In the first movie we also used reduced sounds. This can be seen when the main character is in his girlfriends room. When she leaves the room he begins the fart, and after his fart he begins to spray fa-breeze to cover up the stench. The audience sees him spraying, but the sound is something else that they would not expect. We say the word, "spray" instead of using the actual sound.
