the poetry of detail response

The poetry of detail means the beauty and the meaning found in the details of the film. Lynne Ramsay implies a lot of the plot through detail shots that you might not make the connection but will later. It is important to notice the emotion on the characters faces and the repetition of detail.

How to structure a video essay response

When structuring a video you should always avoid 'and then' and focus more on 'therefore' or 'but'. That way the video essay remains interesting to the audience. Also, you want a least one other story moving in parallel to your story. When the one story builds up you want to switch to the other story. That way, the audience stays interested.

editing space and time response

One way Satoshi Kon made is video's interesting was by his matching scene transitions.  It makes his films very surprising and visually interesting to watch. They also adopted this style in comedy and si-fi but usually that's not the film maker's main style. Also, by doing animation the eye can process the scene much faster than just live action. But, some films are incorporating both.

composing movement response

In the video it starts out by saying motion is the first thing that draws the audience's attention. There are five main types of motion in Akira Kurosawa's films; the movement of nature, the movement of big groups, the movement of the individual, camera motion, and movement in the cuts. By using movement of nature, even if the characters are still the viewer is still visual stimulated. Also, the movement of the background can help set emotions without using movement of the character
always surprising. The use of groups can be used to set a scene with big emotion. If they all react the same it sets up high emotions. Also, the movement of the individual is important in conveying the message of the film. Also, camera motion and cut scenes are very important for creating a visually pleasing film. By varying the camera motion and cuts you can create a visually interesting film.

The video then goes into how the avengers scene looks flat due to non varied camera motion, and the still background.

articles response:free speech

I believe speech should be free as long as it's not completely offensive. In the one article I was reading it discussed obscene photographs and the exhibit was shut down. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about that. I think maybe it should come with a warning on the exhibit but not shut down entirely.

Also, with the statues free speech is important but work in public space shows the values of the society. So, having a racist statue probably is not the best thing to display publicly. In those cases they should be taken down.

I believe in free speech but I think everyone forgets freedom of speech comes with freedom of consequences.  

As in the Trump example, technically he can say anything but what he says can cause people not to resect him.

student example response

I like the student example because the cover both sides of the argument and you can't tell which side they are for. I also like how they used bold font and dramatic pictures in each. I didn't consider using props until I saw the student examples.

Propaganda posters brainstorm

How would these 2 images differ?
They would be on the same issue of the NFL take a knee, but one would focus more on the players and one would focus more on the flag

● How would a Government backed image look in comparison to something grassroots?

a government back image would probably be more professional in language.

● Is there a Logo for either? Say the NRA?

I would use the NFL logo.

● Is there a Face or Phrase that is associated? A Steve Jobs or Trump?

Colin Kaepernick could be associated with this. Also, Trump could be associated because of his reaction.

● What are both of these posters trying to get across?

The two opposite perspectives on the players taking a knee and the right to protest in general.

● What Propaganda techniques will you apply?

Bold text

● What sort of Graphic Styles should you use to best emphasize your point?

I will try to use bold text and bright pictures.

● Are the methods I am using clean and Graphic enough to be communicated to

someone walking by on the street?

Yes?

● These posters will be shown together. How do they relate visually? How do they

contrast? Make sure that you look at them side by side to consider their relationship.

I want the words to be the same for each but the pictures shown give the posters a different meaning.

free speech reflection

After reading this article and doing the project, I realized how important free speech is. By having art out in public it causes people to think about what they are seeing and hopefully think deeper about the art. Also, free speech is important to see other people's perspectives and raise awareness for an issue.
