Identifying Master Edits in Film

The 5 Master Editing Techniques In Film Symbolism (Lion King): The clip from Lion King represents symbolism because Disney films often use the color lime green to symbolize evil or malice. For example, Scar beings to show his true intentions of becoming ruler and taking his brother (Mufasa)'s place by singing the song "Be Prepared". As we know from earlier in the movie, Scar killed Mufasa by pushing him off of a ledge and consequently scared Simba out of the pride land. The video reinforces the fact that Mufasa has evil intentions because of the green smoke which envelops him.  Parallelism (Moana): Moana has many great examples of parallelism, and the example I recorded is a very clear demonstration. The is parallelism shown as the song "Where You Are" progresses brings about the fact that as Moana gets older, she still wants to go to the water but is stuck in the same place doing her same duties. The parallel theme is that she still wants to go...

5 Master Edits

Astrid and Madison's 5 Master Edits 📷 https://youtu.be/O0NLKKLfEGM Our first video is contrast. We decided to contrast different personalities of students for comedic effect.

The first shot is of trash on a table, that other students had left behind. When I walk in I am seemingly unrelated to the scene. But, the parallelism I draw to the scene is that I see the trash and I pick it up. Then, I throw the trash away and sit down at the table. The parallel focus is the tras...

Review of Camera Angles in Love Island, Season 5

Love Island Season 5 and How Camera Angles Depict Emotion Love Island is a reality television show about people from the UK who are trying to find love. It is often times dramatic, playful, and upbeat. Different camera angle shots we learned about from the articles    Different Camera Angles Create Different Emotions  and  Use of Long Shots in Film  helped me understand how the producers use different shots to display these emotions.  The shot shown above is a locked- down shot. The Islander, Yewande, is looking at another person who is speaking to her as she eats her breakfast. The producer wants to show her reaction to what is being said, portraying the drama of the show. However, as locked down shots are, the subject seems unfazed by the activity going on before her. The shot could also be categorized as an eye level shot because we are seeing her above the shoulders. The viewer is meant to see Yewande's reaction as the focal point of the shot....
