Parallelism:  Grease (1978) This scene from the movie Grease is an example of parallelism. The boys are all in the car in specific positions in the first shot. When the scene cuts to a shot of the boys on the car in the same positions, but in a different car, this is parallelism. The layout of the shots are so similar that they mirror each other.  Contrast: Hidden Figures (2016) This scene from the movie Hidden Figures is an example of contrast. In this scene, Katherine Goble has to run to the west side of the NASA Center because there are no bathrooms in the main center for colored women. Goble looks to have run about a half mile there and back. This scene cuts back and forth between her running and the director looking for her in the office. This scene displays how differently white men and black women were treated in the work place. Symbolism: Snow White (1937) This scene from the movie Snow White is an example of symbolism. In this scene the...

AICE Media 5 Master Edits Simultaneity: For this edit we switched from a video of my cat to a video of a fish. The cat is thinking of the fish while eating. Both of these scenes are happening at the same time. The cat is outside of water just eating. The fish is inside a tank swimming around. Parallelism: For this edit we filmed Kelly putting on a hoodie and then turning around. The video seamlessly switches to a video of Chiara who is facing backwards and then turns around to take the same hoodie off. Leitmotiff: For this edit we filmed my mother waking up to a phone alarm. Then we switched to a video of my dad waking up to the same alarm sound. Both of these scenes include the same background music. Contrast: For this edit we took a video of some birds sitting on top of a building. The second video was of Kelly running. Both of these scenes are different, but we forcing the viewer to keep up with two scenes that do not have anything in common. Symbolism: For this edit w...

I chose to comment on a few of the camera angles in the show "Grey's Anatomy" because it is the show I am watching at the moment. Honestly, I have watched a lot of shows on many platforms, but Grey's Anatomy is one of the only shows that has taken me longer than a few weeks to watch. However, this is probably only the case because of the fact that the show is fifteen seasons long and still going. Before watching Grey's Anatomy, the only medical show I had watched was the Good Doctor. Grey's Anatomy definitely uses a variety of camera angles in order to get the best view of the surgeries that take place in the show. Grey's Anatomy also focuses a lot on the surgeons of the hospital and all of the emotions that they are feeling. Therefore, the show uses many camera angles in order to display emotions in the most efficient way possible, as well as evoke emotions from the audience choosing to watch the show. The show always opens up with an establishing s...

I commented on both Kelsey and Kelly's camera shots. On Kelsey's blog I commented that I enjoyed the point of shot because it made me feel as though I was placed inside the person's eyes and looking through that window with them. I thought the over-the-shoulder shot was entertaining to watch because it felt as though I was experiencing the scene with that person. I found the establishing shot enjoyable to watch because it shows the setting, and it brought me in and set the mood, even though the mood was gloomy. I found the low angle shot amusing. The low angle shot made me feel that the characters were larger than they may be in real life. The shot gave me a feeling of disorientation and made it look like the characters were important. On Kelly's blog I commented that I enjoyed the high angle shot. The shot made me feel like I was an onlooker that was not really involved in the emotion of the shot yet. The low angle shot was also pleasant to watch because it made me...
