5 Master Edits
Astrid and Madison's 5 Master Edits 📷
Our first video is contrast. We decided to contrast different personalities of students for comedic effect. I pretended to be a sporty kid, running around the room, doing jumping jacks, and doing sit ups to portray my athletic ability and "try hard" mentality. We contrast this type of student with Astrid, who is acting as a lazy teen who just wants to sleep. Not much of her character is shown other than her desire to sleep on chairs and tables. This contrast of energetic to tired is clearly seen in the final shot where the two personalities are shown next to each other.
The second video is parallelism. 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 trash. The beginning shot of the dirty table and the finishing shot of the empty table are parallel to each other. The viewers mind finally associates trash as the parallel subject. In this way, we used a positive message with mental signal that when you see trash, you should pick it up.
The third video is symbolism. We wanted to capture the effect of Trojan pride around our school's campus. The first part of the long shot demonstrates the Trojan head on the building, then the shot focuses on the Trojan head in the middle of the sundial. As we zoomed in on the sundial, we zoomed out on the second full shot, demonstrating how the previous two symbols are embodied in the central Trojan statue.
The forth video is simultaneity. We displayed a (mock) airplane in the sky in a dolly shot. Then the view is cut to a high angle shot, where a person, Astrid, is down far below on the ground, looking at the air plane and waving. This simultaneity shot is creatively captured because we utilized high angle shots to portray the distance between the subject and the object. Both events are supposed to be happening at the same time, which is why Astrid is waving at the plane up above.
The fifth and final master edit is leit motif. We use the repetition of Astrid's hotheadedness to set a precedent for viewers. As Astrid stands alone in the first close up shot, she is demonstrating her initial anger. Then, as Zoe walks up to say hello Astrid pushes her to the ground. Then, I am shown viewing a pamphlet, minding my own business. The audience gets a mental cue when they see Astrid angrily walking towards me because they know what she did to the seemingly innocent Zoe. in this way, leit motif is established because the repetitiveness of Astrid's poor anger management and willingness to take her emotions out on others is predicted every time she walks by someone. the audience expects her to lash out.
