The joke we chose to manipulate began with a kid playing with a train set, and then cursing out loud, to the dismay of his mother. Our takes on this joke consisted of the kid turning angry towards his mother and threatening her with a knife, and another in which the joke is displayed from the toys point of view. We used space to create an emotion of fear and shock from the toys. This was done through the use of close-up and akward-like shots. In the video in which you see the toys point of view, the use of lines diminishes the scale of the toys, through using a higher horizon line. Also all the toys create an actual line themselves, by pointing up to the sky, where the dominant voice is intended to be coming from. In video two we used light to set the mood. We wanted to create contrast between the two films, so shooting the first one during the daylight and the second one at night, in a house, did just that. Also many times during the second “horror” movie there were very dimly lit scenes, which helped aid to the tension and release we were trying to create. The rhythm we were trying to create in the second movie was done through having multiple slow, drawn out shots, in which the kid is seen contemplating his thoughts, many times with an evil smile on his face. This also helped aid our tension and release and create a sense of fear within the clip. I felt the two videos contrasted nicely. The one which was shot from the toys point of view worked better I thought, just because the emotion was conveyed in a more direct way, through the use of lines which I previously mentioned.
