Blog 4 Video Response

I thought the videos were very interesting. It was interesting to see how the camera and movement of the camera affects the way the scene is interpreted. I thought that it was smart to have some kind of underlying motion in each frame like the nature aspects. Even though the main subject may be moving, to have weather incorporated like rain, wind, fire, snow, is something I would not have even thought about.

It was cool how the editing space and time video switched to different worlds so quickly. It is a different way to think about how you want viewers to interpret/ see things in your frame. The video also explained how the man really changed parts of editing animation.

The how to structure a video essay also explained some valid points. Rather than connecting scenes, its connecting thoughts. I never really thought about it, but they gave the example that when you have two storylines, when one reaches its peak point, you then switch to the other story till that reaches it peak point. I definitely see that a lot in movies.

The Poetry of Details video displayed the importance of camera shots and how something can be shown through details. There were close ups on facial features and how the framing of information is not fully shown/ what that means. And repetition of certain details, like mirroring body movements can give you other crucial info as well.
