Joke Videos

Video 1

The two the videos are extremely different. The two videos were shot on the same camera, but many of the angles and styles are very different as well. The first deviated a little from the original joke, instead of using a dinner scene at the end, the wife hired a film crew to film her and her husband having sex. The second joke had the conventional dinner scene although there were some differences between it and the original joke. Visually there were some differences between the two differences as well. One thing that was similarly utilized was rhythm. In video 1 we tried to utilize rhythm by having our hero fart 3 times after he eats the beans, while he is in his room. This creates a joke rhythm of farting three times. In the second video we tried to utilize rhythm with the radio farting scene, and the scene eating the beans. In the eating beans scene we used a montage of three different beans being eaten, this created the rhythm of the beans being eaten. In second use of rhythm in the second video came during  scenes while on the radio. Each time our hero listens to the radio something on it reminds him of farting, this makes him panic and change the radio station 3 different times. We tried to keep a rhythm of threes in both of our videos. The two videos have an Affinity as well, because both involve farting, both have the hero wearing a blindfold and both have a rhythm of three. The videos have contrast  as well, in video one the hero ends on a bed, while in video two the hero ends at the dinner table. The first one also had no outdoor shots, and the second does. Lines were also used in our videos. In the first video we did not have a lot of actual lines, but we did you use a lot of virtual lines. Especially in the scene were the wife unmasks the husband and says I have a surprise for you. She then looks over to the other side of the room. We then follow were she is looking and then it cuts to the two camera men waving their noses. In the second video we had actual lines, especially when our hero was leaving the "diner" after eating his beans. As he walked away there is the counter thing to his left and the tables to the right. These actual lines frame the character as he walks.  The thing I shall compare from these videos is subjectivity and objectivity. When one watches both videos, from an objective standpoint the audience can realize that the main character is farting and that after eating the beans is when they started to fart. Subjectively we have to realize in both vids that the main character was farting due to eating the beans. In the first video we must also realize the sexual undertones at the very end and that the wife wanted to film her and her husband having sex. The second was closer to the original joke and did not have as much subjectivity other than the radio part. The audience has to understand he is changing the station because they are reminding him of farts.
