week 7

The five shots I chose to use were from the show "Criminal Minds" season 6, episode 23.  The first clip shown is symbolism between a geographic map which the bau is using to determine the comfort zone of the killer or unsub and the scene changes from the map to a puddle of water from a leaking sink of the unsub's house where he is arguing with the rest of the members of the group because he doesn't want to kill anymore.

The next shot is parallelism in episode 18 of  "criminal minds" when an FBI agent, Emily Prentiss is captured by her fake husband she asks him to show her where his son died and is repeating the words to just breath and it connects to the time that she was an undercover agent and is pretending to be his wife and she was happily playing with his son. 

In this clip, it shows a leitmotif during the funeral of an FBI agent named Emily Prentiss and there is sad music behind the whole memorial service and even every time one of the members of the group talked about their feelings on the loss of Prentiss the same sad song would play.

the next shot in contrast which is the group going to watch a horror movie after work hours and talk about the aspects each individual disliked /liked about horror movies. At the same time, the group members explained traits of a murder scene, there was a young woman that was experiencing the same things being said because she was being stalked.

the last shot is simultaneity and it was in season 6 episode 18 when Emily Prentiss is going to meet up with a link she has to the unsub at a pub with a green clover golden envelope and it flashes back to the first time she met him 8 years prior with the same green clover golden card.

Video shots

These are the 5 shots I  chose to make
http://premiereclip.adobe.com/videos/CeYVvaG7tEo

The first example shot is contrast which is shown by a boy running home because he believes that he is late to his sisters birthday party and rushing there, he opens up the door to realize it’s empty and dark inside. The boy finally realized that he got the date wrong this whole time.

The next example was symbolism which is show through a bottle of medication and slowly turns into  the eye of a young girl which may be conveyed that no one is perfect, not even at a young age.

The example for simultaneity was a girl on the phone telling someone to go to a “pink house with a white door” except when he reached the destination he sees that there are 2 pink house next door to each other and decides to use his gut to pick one and knocks on the door to find it that it was not even the right house.


The example for parallelism is two people that are complete strangers  during a dinner are distracted and are accidentally reaching out for the same cup of water and at the same time grab the cup.

The example for Leit motif was a cat lazily walking around and then eventually laying down with nice cheerful music showing how the car has no care in the world.

Movie watched

The movie I decided to watch was The Avengers Infinity war, I think infinity war is the 4th avenger's movie so far.

The first shot I saw in the movie was the introduction into the start of Thanos mission which was to retrieve all the 6 gems of life that are throughout the universe which were reality, space, time, vision, power, and soul. In the scene, Thanos's helpers and himself have just beaten Thor and destroyed all of his homeland named Asgard because it was the protector of the space gem. The scene is taken as a follow shot because it slowly expands the view and follows Thanos's men.

After Loki which is Thors younger brother gave Thanos the gem in order for Thor's life to be spared. Thanos places the blue gem into his glove device that allowed him to gain their power. The scene is taken in a close-up shot focusing on the dust transforming into the gem.

Loki is the God of Mischief and therefore decided to try to trick Thanos into bringing him along to earth for his mission of retrieving 2 gems from earth. Loki is trying to sneakily convince Thanos by persuading him with his loyalty had other plans in killing Thanos. The shot is an extreme close up as well as a close up on the knife Loki was hiding behind his back and his face when Thanos was fully aware the whole tie of Loki's plan and strangles him.

Loki tried to create a surprise attack on Thanos with Hulk and the scene is taking in a long shot as well as off the shoulder too throughout the fighting scene between both Thanos and Hulk. Unfortunately, Hulk loses and Thanos knocks out Thor leaving him alone in space while he used the space (blue) gem to travel to earth causing more destruction in his path.

The scene in the video is about Peter which is Spiderman and notices some disruption in the city. Peter decides to ask his close friend to make some distraction so no one sees him sneak out the bus and put on his uniform. Peter manages to sneak out and goes to where the chaos is happening to help his fellow friends such as Ironman and Dr. Strange. The scene is taken in a two-shot and off the shoulder angle because you can see Peter and his friend having a conversation in two different angles such as when Peter is trying to get his friends attention and the afterward a different angle when his friend about creating a distraction.

In this video, one of Thanos's servants is trying to steal the time (green) gem from Dr. Strange but he is willing to give in order to protect the gem from the destruction of the universe.  Dr. Strange is being strangled by veins controlled by Thanos's servants and through his magic abilities in being a wizard Dr. Strange lets his cap take control on all its own which allows it to protect him by taking his body elsewhere, as far away from Thanos's servant trying to buy Ironman, Spiderman, and Dr. Strange time.. The scene shows an off the shoulders when we witness Dr. Strange being suffocated by the veins as well as a dolly shot when Dr. Strange's cap takes off with him .
