Video:   https://youtu.be/k4RTaZ0aRn4 Contrast: The first shot displays a tranquil Woody, going over material in his book. In the next scene, Alyssa's nephew is shown having the time of his life whilst dancing. Parallelism: We begin with a shot of Alyssa walking down the hallway, and then lead to the opposite shot of the snake slithering around, which would be located across the hall to her right. Simultaneity: For this master edit, we decided to show the action in a Mexican Jaripeo, where one of the bull riders was beginning his task or riding the bull. At the same time that this was occurring, someone else was on a plane headed back to Florida. The plane ride clip shows how the passenger was departing from one of Mexico's airports while at the same time, a sort of party was taking place on the ground. Leit Motif: In each one of these shots the individual(s) stop whatever it may be that they are doing to come to attention while shouting "L-H-S."  The repeated cl...

--------- I chose to watch, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. This movie is about a little boy, Bruno who moves from Berlin to an area near a concentration camp because his father has been given a promotion. Once there, the Bruno decides to venture out, and eventually comes across a young Jewish boy whom he befriends at the fence to the concentration camp.  -----------------------------------------------------------                                           Generally a tilt shot is used at the end to signify that the movie is coming to a close, but in this film the camera zooms out of the door. This is done after the main character (a little boy) accidentally gets killed when trying to accompany his friend. He goes to what he thinks will be a shower and ends up being gasses with others from a camp that he managed to slip into. The closed door and room full of "striped paja...

I commented on Woody Lindor's shots and Josh Dubois' shots  Woody Lindor Choker shot: This shot was quite nice, and really captured the awkwardness radiating from the subject. Follow shot: While there was the height difference, I did like that you captured the student's daily routine. The dragged out scene displayed the lack of amusement that most often takes place in school. Pan shot: This shot was less shaky than others, which allowed me to really focus on the scene. The lighting was perfect: different dimensions with light and shade. The scenery gave a sense of serenity and a different outlook of the campus. All was so beautiful that I almost forgot this was school. High Angle shot: This was done very well. I felt like I could easily see the subject and the background, almost as if I were the one he was greeting. Josh Dubois  1) Low angle shot: I love that Josh's facial expressions really made it look like there was some type of illegal exchange. The camera w...
