  Clip One: In the first clip where I represent the edit of contrast, I used diegetic sound, which is sound the audience and characters can hear, and I also used non-diegetic sound, which is sound only the audience can hear. The use of diegetic sound which was the character's loud footsteps approaching the other character represent the entrance of a new character to the scene.  Then, the use of non-diegetic sound which was the audience booing at a character, affected the scene because it gave a perception of the character from the audience's POV. Clip Two:  In the second clip where I represent parallelism, I used direct sound, which is all of the sound that is recorded at the time of filming. I decided not to add any music or voice overs to this scene where  I cut between both characters walking to a door but from different locations and directions. Using direct sound in this clip, allows the audience to focus on the importance of the fo...

  Contrast in Schitt's Creek:  Contrast is  cutting between two different scenarios to highlight the contrast between them. I used an example of contrast from my favorite TV show, "Schitt's Creek". In the clip, we see the Rose family in their glamorous living room, in fashionable clothes and jewelry right before they are forced to move out of their mansion after going bankrupt. The next clip cuts to them outside a rusty motel which is where they will have to live now that they have no money. It is a clear contrast of how they once lived in luxury and how they must live now, in a motel in the middle of nowhere.  Simultaneity in The Fast and Furious:   Simultaneity is cutting between two simultaneous events as a way of driving up the suspense. In this scene Dom and Brian are racing to a near by train track when unexpectedly, the train appears coming high speed on the track they are supposed to cross to determine the winner. The camera cuts back and forth betw...

  Shot One: Contrast In this shot, I contrasted the two characters of Jack. He approaches Ben who is holding a sign that reads "homeless; please share money". Jack looks in his wallet and signals that he has no change or money to spare. In the next scene I cut to Jack later in the day to making it rain money. This shows contrast because it shows Jack portraying two different personas.  Shot Two: Parallelism In this shot, I had Jack and Ben both walk to our front door but from different points of view. Jack is walking to the outside of the door from our parking lot. Ben is walking to the front door from inside the house and from the top of the stairs. This  shows parallelism because it cues the viewer to compare two distinct elements by highlighting some similarity which is the POV of walking below the hips.  Shot Three: Symbolism In this shot, I zoomed in on the temperature on the weather app saying its 82 degrees out. I then cut to me zooming out...
