For this blog I am going to be taking a look at and comparing and contrasting our two joke videos and their overall styles. I will be looking at how they compare in terms of their contrast and affinities with one another. First off, for this comparison I really want to take a look at and really focus on the use lines in both of these videos. The first video, which has been set up as though it were a case study, really takes an evident advantage of actual lines as opposed to virtual lines. They can be seen best in this version of the joke principally as the man in the blue shirt approaches the house and attention is brought to him with the help of the lines on the structures of the houses themselves. The house in his background brings a good accent with its white lines seeming to point down towards him as he walks across the foreground. The use of lines are also more clearly exploited as well when the owner of the house exits and is accented within the box of the door frame he is standing in. The following shot of the blue-shirted man shows another exploitation of the lines as well as the fence to his side stretches off out of the shot and adds a feeling of depth, an exploitation of space. This exploitation of depth and space is seen again as well in affinity with the other video as the office that the successful attorney is sitting in has vertical lines that stretch off into the background, giving it a grander air, while the office that the non-profit workers are sitting in is closed off and has a cramped feeling about it as it is accented by horizontal lines that seem to close off the room. In contrast though the second video has more of an exploitation of text and subtext as they is less info given on character interactions and leaves more up to the viewer’s interpretations.
