Week 10 Lab 1



In this video, it is about a girl jumping from a squatting position. The 'Anticipation' principle can be seen as she bends her knees more to get ready for the jump.


This is a similar video to the video above, except in this video the girl is jumping with a bag around her shoulder. The 'Follow through and overlapping action' principle can be seen in this video as when she lands, the bag follows her body's momentum and swings around wildly.


In this third video, it is about a girl running towards the camera. The 'Follow through and overlapping action' principle can be observed in this video too, as she comes to a sudden stop, her long hair sweeps towards the camera due to the momentum.


This is a similar video to the running video above, except in this video the girl is carrying a bag which cannot be seen very clearly as her left hand is blocking the bag from sight. However, if you watch closely, the 'Slow in and slow out' principle can be observed as she slowly accelerates from her run and slowly decelerates at the end to come to a complete stop. 


This video is special, it is about a boy displaying a few of his award-winning robot dance moves. The 'Appeal' principle can obviously be seen in this video, just look at his charisma!


This video is a very basically about a ball bouncing on the spot and slowly coming to a halt. Although we learnt in the lab sessions that the 'Squash and stretch' principle should be able to be seen in a bouncing ball, however in this video the clearest principle that I can spot is the 'Secondary action' principle. The ball is bouncing and rotating at the same time hence, the 'Secondary' principle is observed.


In this video, it is about a ball being passed around between two boys. The 'Arc' principle can easily be spotted as the ball travels in the line of an arc.


This video is very similar to the one directly above it, except in this video there are fakes implemented into the passes. The 'Anticipation' principle can be seen as when the fakes are applied the boy gets ready to catch the ball.


In this video, the passes between the two boys are made by bouncing the ball once on the ground before the other party catches the ball. The 'Timing' principle can be observed in this video and the ball is travelling towards the ground it is accelerating but as it is travelling upwards towards the boy it decelerates due to the laws of physics.


This video is about a girl shouting out vulgarities (censored) before punching the poor boy in thee face. The 'Exaggeration' principle can be seen very clearly in this video as the boy flies through the air and falls to the ground after getting hit by the weak and harmless punch of the girl. 


In this final video, it is about a boy trying to stealthily steal a bottle of white pepper on the floor. However, he still got filmed despite his stealthy efforts. The 'Staging' principle is extremely obvious in this video as the camera films the bottle of pepper first, leaving the audience to want to find out what is going to happen next.

Exercise 3


Squash and stretch
At the beginning of the video, when the man is sitting on the white ball and bouncing up and down, the 'squash and stretch' principle can be seen applied to the ball.

Timing
At the beginning of the video, when the man is sitting on the white ball and bouncing up and down, the 'timing' principle can be seen. When the ball is travelling upwards it decelerates and as the ball is nearer to the ground it accelerates.

Staging
At the beginning of the video, the 'staging' principle can be seen very clearly as the camera shoots the drumsticks that the man is holding and slowly pans down to shoot the big white ball directly below the drumsticks. This is to direct the attention of the audience to the white balls and to inform to the audience that the balls are going to create sound.

Anticipation
At the beginning of the video, when no sound is heard and the man just stares and smiles at the camera. This causes the audience to anticipate what is going to happen next.

Secondary action
At the middle part of the video, secondary action can be seen as the man blinks while waving the white ball in the air.

Arcs
The throwing of the balls seems to be travelling in the line shaped like an arc.
