https://youtu.be/BM1QfBl9mH8  Post-synchronization Dubbing : This scene had construction noises because there was construction going on in the background, but I added the construction noises to enhance what was happening in the scene and make it more understandable to have the watcher understand my annoyance. Music: I used music for the first half of my contrast scene, just to make it cuter for the watcher. I also used music in my symbolism scene to make the symbolism of life and death much more sad.  Direct Sound: The second half of my contrast scene has the sound of the tv in the back to really emulate the silence from the playfulness.  Synchronous sound: I used a sports car sound for the toy car for amusement purposes, but to also show that there is a car moving in the scene.

Simultaneity:   In this clip from Mean Girls (2004), Simultaneity is shown as the screen is split between the girls while they are talking on the phone at the same in two different locations. On the left is Regina George (Rachel McAdams) and on the right is Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan). As most of this scene had suggestive content in it, I cut it short, but this scene shows the two on the same phone call at the same time. Furthermore, there is two completely different things happening in the background of each side.  Essentially, simultaneity is two actions occurring at the same time, in which a phone call could be considered simultaneity, along with what is going on in the background.  Symbolism: This scene from The Hunger Games is representative of symbolism, as Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) are in the carriage on fire. The fire in this scene is symbolic of the hope and passion of Katniss and Peeta's mission throughout the movie. The fire sh...

In a simultaneous situation in film, there are two thing going on at the exact same time, often occurring in the same area.   2) CONTRAST: The edit I made shows contrast in character, as my sister was playful and smiling one moment, and about five minutes later she was completely calm and distracted in front of the television. In film, there is a lot of character contrast, but also contrast in surroundings, like day and night.  3) PARALELLISM: This edit shows parallelism by showing 2 cars in 2 places, but the scene transfers between both at the same time.   4)SYMBOLISM: The blowing out of the candle into the scene with the skull shows the symbolism of death and how fast it comes. Yes, it is dark, but it is the most simple form of symbolism I could think of. 5)LEITMOTIFF: The jump scare...

Underworld (2003) September 27, 2020:   Camera Shots in Major Motion Pictures Assignment I chose the movie Underworld, which is the first of a series of 5 films. I chose this film because I really enjoy this series and I enjoy the majority of the movies directed by Len Wiseman. The shots I wanted to capture on my phone were terrible quality when I tried recording my TV, so I found most of them on Google to get the point across. This movie is filled with amazing  action and many different types of camera shots as well. I have 5 shown below.  This is part of the opening shot of Underworld. It is a long shot that establishes the setting of a gloomy city, presumably in Europe looking at the setting behind the main character Selene who is in the forefront of the shot. This scene foreshadowed the seriousness of what would be going on in the movie, as there was no sound except the sound of the rain and the bustling city, there was no dialogue between Selene and the characte...

Aniya Jefferson: The three shots I chose to comment on her blog were the extreme close-up, the tilt shot, and the low angle shot. 1. Extreme Close-up: This shot she took grasped the concept of an actual extreme close-up very well and I could feel the awkwardness and anxiety of the shot because it fixated so close for so long. 2. Tilt: This shot was a shot that made me feel very minute and small in comparison to the tree. She was able to emphasize the tree's height, which also made her seem very small in comparison.  3. Low Angle: This shot, like the tilt shot made me feel very small in comparison to her. More-or-less, this is a shot that evoked a feeling of defeat like when a superhero defeats a super villain. Emily Solis: 1.  Head-on shot: I really enjoyed how cute Woody was running up the stairs and watching it, I felt playfulness and innocence.  2. Eye-Level: The eye-level shot was adorable and radiated cuteness, wonder and innocent curiosity, which I very much enjoy...

This was a tilt shot that I could not do for very long because it was raining outside. It was simple to do, but I am realizing how much outside factors can affect the process of filming. This was a short and simple point of view shot that was not hard to make and the concept was pretty straightforward for it.  This is a pan shot, and this concept actually confused me a bit more than the others because I did not know how a proper pan shot was supposed to look.  This is a low angle shot that my subject made hard to capture because she didn’t want to take any more videos. This is also a simple angle and with the right equipment, could look amazing. This is a high angle shot that was easy to capture because nothing was moving. It was not at all complicated to do and I think is a better quality shot with the right equipment.  This is a head on shot, which was actually easier to capture than I thought it would be for me. It was simple to roll the ball and my phone did not knock...
