In the first joke video, we used lines in order to create tension. The lines of the table, and the walls were all situated at slanted angles. The result was a frame with diagonal lines running across the scree. Using diagonal lines rather than perfectly horizontal lines creates disorder and uneasiness, resulting in a feeling of tension and anxiety. When coupled with the music, the diagonal lines keep the visual tension high, until the end when the music changes and we finish with less diagonal lines for a little release. The level of visual chaos in the first video contrasted the very orderly lines used in video two. In joke video two, we used horizontal lines that reflect the organization of a standard office or school. The organized lines set a feeling of monotony and dreariness. The organization is reminiscent of times at work or school, the familiar line setup reminds us of monotony that we encounter in our daily lives. The tension is significantly lower in the second video.
We also used movement in both videos. In joke video one, we used movement in order to quickly define each character. The boss moved very little for most of the video, showing his stoic attitude. He only moved when he was angry so his actions were faster and more aggressive. The Economist also showed his character through his movement. He moved confidently and swiftly indicating his character was cocky and sure of himself. These large movements contrasted that of the first two applicants, as they moved slowly and in small motions to show timidness or shyness. The two featured affinity in their meeker movements. In the second video we used movement in a similar fashion. In the video, we capture how each applicant enters the room, this is when their character is displayed. Once again the first two applicants have movement that is associated with weakness and the economist remains confident with every motion. The boss moves like a robot with very precise and repetitive actions.
