1/21/2015 1:08:17YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-agTClDfpcQThe way the viewer takes on the viewpoint of a character, which helps achieve continuity in the scene.The fact that this clip still manages to maintain continuity, despite the unrealistic angles and wide shots/zoom-ins is astounding. Even though you're really watching from a third person perspective, at times you're also being treated as though you're Harry, as “your gaze” (you gaze being the camera’s perspective) becomes the same as his (“Harry, look!” *points at moon, your gaze follows the same path we assume Harry’s does). It seems to me to be a very clever way to keep the viewer feeling involved in the scene. However, soon after, you break away from his viewpoint as you get a close up shot of Lupin’s eye, which is obviously something you could never see that way in real life. But it doesn’t seem strange in the moment. I propose that the technique of temporarily and intermittently assigning the viewer to one of the characters in the scene (in terms of gaze) can be used to help create a sense of continuity. When you feel involved/part of the scene or story, as opposed to floating, detached outside viewer, you’re more likely to overlook unrealistic shots and angles you might otherwise question. In a way, they slip your attention. 0:00:000:00:19
Being treated like Harry Potter helps continuity be achieved. (*side note* 0-7 seconds in is also a good example of blended joint attention)

It uses the fade to indicate the transition, and then the snapping of the clock from 5:59 to 6:00 to indicate the beginning of a new "day"/sequence. As in every iteration of the "reset" scene in the movie, all details are identical - clock, music, and sequence and position of the first 2-3 cuts.0:00:480:01:45Maxwell ZimonYesEvading death in #GroundhogDay - all it takes is a fade outzimon@case.edu

1/23/2015 2:53:06YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uLFFLfma5oThe editing makes for a continuous shot, but it depicts different points in time In this clip, the main character starts out lounging on a chair in his house, then the camera zooms in on his face. When it zooms out, the scene has changed and he is now in bed as Mrs. Robinson is walking around changing her clothes. As she walks back and forth across the camera, it is clear that some time has passed, but the nature of the shot is continuous. The camera then zooms back into his face, and zooms out, when the scene has changed back to his house. Again, time has passed, but the editing of the scene was such that it looked as though it was all happening in one time. Lastly, when he is swimming, he emerges from the water, and then the scene immediately cuts to him back in bed with Mrs. Robinson. This is interesting because the editing so fluid that the time lapse also seems naturally fluid. 0:02:580:05:04Siba SakerYesBeautiful editing in The Graduatesjs160@case.edu

Additionally, when the camera cuts from Sara's face to the refrigerator, this manipulates the phenomena of blended joint attention by creating the false sense that the audience and the character are looking at the same object simultaneously. 0:00:000:00:21Noemb172@case.edu

1/23/2015 11:39:46YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RKt6nZJoB0This particular youtuber's popularity is owed partly to his ability to edit his videos in such a way that every five seconds or so is full of new, interesting visual stimuli to keep the viewer constantly engaged.The way the scenes are edited is to give off a sort of interrupting vibe. One scene will be flowing along only to be interruted by a random interjection, or a change of perspective. It is not done in an annoying way, where the viewer's sesne of continuity is violated. Rather it's done in a stimulating way, so the viewer is never bored, and there are new, engaging things that the viewer can switch his attention to. These cuts never deter from the message of the scene; as they actually add on to, or even build, what the narrator is trying to convey. This is a perfect example of a generational trend. This generation is characterized by massive influx of information and stimuli. Therefore, we no longer have to (or really even want to) focus on a single thing for a stretch of time, but would rather be bombarded by multiple things all at once, so our sensory system is never bored and always engaged.0:00:000:03:30Elishama KanuYes

A token of a mission outfit is developed from a new type of a mission outfit.Our minds cannot imagine new things it has not seen before. Even though the idea of a new outfit or a mission outfit is not new, the context is new. TV shows tend to focus our attention to the story and if something is an object that acts as a piece of the setting for the plot then it usually goes unnoticed. But, when something as typical to Kim Possible's mission's gets changed it becomes a part of the plot because it cannot simply be changed without explanation due to how the story has been told before.0:19:000:19:25Jalia HubbardYesKim Possible Episode 73

The entire wall represents a compression of this boy's life story. The viewers attend to the scene, and without difficulty, are able to make out that he's keeping track of not only his height, but also of events that happen to him. By viewing these measurements, we are able to piece together a narrative for this boy (just from a few seconds, we gather so much information about him). This clip works because of the way our brains are inclined to process stories, but also because we have understandings of linear scales and the verticality. 0:00:360:01:42Siba SakerYesLife story compressed onto wall sjs160@case.edu

2/6/2015 12:13:08YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYXXhn9fMYsN/AIn story telling, we rely on the narrator to frame our perpsective - give us a reference. From there we can construct a sort of reality, based off the events and facts described and the mental states we are told exist. We can then cognitively treat the story as though it were real. However, what happens when the narrator is unreliable? Our constructed "reality" is then brought to shambles, as is what happens in this clip when we realize that the narrator completely fabricated the entire story. And the narration we built up completely unravels in that minute.I think story telling preys on the idea that reality is subjective. It can be easily construed by presenting the appropriate details and events in order to elicit the desired mental states and perception in the individual, as is what happens in The Usual Suspects, and in all pieces of media actually. The narrator provides us with a description of events that transpired the previous night. As we did not witness the night's events, we rely on the narrator to provide us with factual information so we can recreate that scene as though we were there. We believe it is true, thus our cognition reacts as if we were genuinely there (cognition is genius and context-dependent; all stories rely on this). In that clip, we realize that all the relevant information our narrator gave is completely false and fictional. Therefore the reality we created is completely unreliable and thus begins to crumble. This is a fantastic example of how media seeks to construct reality for its audience, and how easily it can do so by providing just the right information to activate our mental states. Even though none of the information it presents could be factual, it is still able to invoke in us this sense of cognitive reality.N/AN/A0:02:040:03:04Elishama KanuYesN/AStory telling is perspective framing which constructs a "reality"enk18@case.edu

We decide that when he says boy and girl, he's referring to the boy and girl seen earlier in the clip. When he said "this is not a love story", we There are a lot of things at work here. We decide that when he says "boy and girl", he's referring to the boy and girl seen earlier in the clip. Why? Because those are the characters in the frame that we are working with. We know that the characters he's referring to are in the fictional world we share with him, and can't be someone outside that realm like our sister and brother. These are people only we have access to. And we assume that he's abiding by the same rules, and is not talking about someone that he knows but that we don't know. Therefore, it must be the girl and the boy we saw earlier in the clip. Because of the role narrators typically play (they tell us what’s going on, and we expect them to be truthful) we normally believe what they say. However, when the narrator says "this is not a love story", we all disregard this and know that really, it is. This one is a bit more complicated. I believe a lot of it has to do with what’s going on on-screen when he says this, and the world he has built leading up to this. He’s been telling us about these two characters and their opinions on love, and as he says “this is not a love story”, it zooms in on them holding hands. For these reasons, we have a large body of evidence that supports the theory that this really IS a love story, and we discredit the one opposing comment the narrator says. Because we want to like and trust the narrator, however, we don’t want to believe that he’s simpy lying to us. So, we assume his words have an alternate meaning. For instance, what he must mean is that this love story is special in some way, and is different from your typical love story.

It is reflective of its story's context and content as well as the historical events that it is parallel to (mass death and destruction of the 20th century). It expresses a lack of responsiblity and lack of a source for the actions through its ambigous pronoun and verb choice with the purposeful absence of direction or object. It is ironic due to human morality which is mostly believed to see killing and death as bad but on a mass scale it is not massively grave. Instead, it is even more overlooked.

What strikes me about this is that she completely comes up with that out of the blue. Except it's not entirely out of the blue. At the very beginning, the actors received a prompt from the audience, with which to build a story: "I'm pregnant". From there, they began to construct the story. Kristen Bell actively attended to the story as it progressed, watching the different characters and plots unfold. Simultaneously, her mind was engaging in counterfactuals as she imagined various ways the story could progress, and by paying attention to what was currently going on, she picked the most "feasible" one - the one that fit best or the one that achieved the most desired effect (perhaps it was the one that would be perceived as the funniest by the audience). The story now switches from one about a cheating boyfriend to one about a woman with allergies. The transition is seamless.0:03:230:04:44Elishama Kanu

1/22/2016 11:59:37YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePncRloeBZ8The use of a split screen showing two alternate realities to directly compare Tom's expectations vs. reality. 500 Days of Summer is a movie about defying expectations. The movie deconstructs tropes found in nearly every commercialized romantic piece of media. Despite being warned at the very beginning that the story between Tom and Summer is not a traditional love story, we still fall into this trap and create certain expectations that they will eventually be together despite all adversity. During the first half of the movie, the movie plays on our expectations and shows us the rise and the fall of their relationship. It even hints at a reconciling right before this scene. This is when this scene tears down the expectations both Tom and the audience has held for the majority of this movie. Simultaneously playing the two scenes causes the audience to directly acknowledge the difference between the grand romanticism we expected from a love story and the sad reality of Tom’s life. At the every end, the reality side of the screen overtakes the expectations side of the screen as it becomes clear that Summer has moved on and Tom cannot win her back despite what popular media has led us and Tom to believe. All of this is heightened by the music playing in the background. As Summer’s engagement ring is revealed, “I’m the hero of this story” overtakes the audio of the party and the juxtaposition between Tom’s realization and this song highlights the moment where everything crumbles for Tom. It almost seems like denial, as the music became louder and repeated its chorus. However, at the end of the scene when the skyline begins to vanish, Tom and the audience have finally realized that expectations aren’t often matched by reality.

It is like a sine wave (my pun from the tweet) of beauty -- it starts off on a negative note, where she is bare-faced with acne. But as the music quickens, she uses makeup to transform herself into someone who is considered “beautiful”. However, the positives are short-lived and she is faced with criticism for her makeup face, and at the end of the video she has quotes describing the feelings of other commenters who suffer from acne. While there are a lot of angle jumps in the video, it is the comments that Em uses that mark the transition from the different phases. Also, I think it was very powerful how she ended the video with the quote about self-acceptance and “you are beautiful” because it contrasts strongly with the title of the video – “you look disgusting.” 0:00:000:03:11Mandy WongYes"the sine wave of #beauty" or, "the sin of #beauty" mxw432@case.edu

The story of not giving anything for the swim-back illustrates very well a general story of one giving everything to achieve something that is worth his entire life without a plan for draw-back because it takes place at the most human scale with everyday objects and events that we interact with physically. The source-path-goal image schema applies literally to the swim and metaphorically to what Vincent has been through.

He is slimy, scummy, a cheat, and liar. He does whatever he can to get to the top and stay on top while scamming people out of their money for his own profit. As he put it, he did not feel bad about taking other people’s money because he “knew how to spend it better”. Despite his arrogance and selfishness, the audience can’t help but root for him a little bit. Due to the way Scorsese constructs the story, we only see the glamour of Belfort’s life. By seeing it only through his viewpoint, we are just as susceptible to being seduced by the high rolling life as the very same people he scammed out of their money. Despite knowing what he does is a bad thing, the story that is constructed makes the audience forget that for a little bit and essentially make them envious of Belfort’s life. Only at the end does Scorsese lift back the curtain and make the audience come to terms with the damage Belfort had done and the kind of charismatic scum he is. The final shot with the audience in the clinic reflects the audience watching the movie. They, just like the audience in an almost mirrored image, are enraptured by Belfort’s tales and hope to become just as successful as he was. However, as the audience by that point, we’ve learned about both the glamor and the dark sides of Jordan’s life. Scorsese uses story to make us sympathize with an otherwise very unlikeable guy. He then uses story, despite having the character go through any dynamic change, to have the audience come to the realization that the movie is not trying to condone Jordan Belfort’s life, but to condemn it. The Wolf of Wall Street is an example of how story and viewpoints can be used to manipulate the audience’s sympathy and morality. 0:02:250:03:54Preetham YarlagaddaYes

That alongside the fact that the viewpoints are constantly shifting and rarely do the various nested stories have an ending but instead just leads into the next nested story make it incredibly difficult to follow along and yet it isn’t impossible. How are we capable of following so many different narratives that have so little in common with each other (not even the main character is in all of them)? Our ability to create patterns is probably what allows the reader to follow this story and it’s overall plot. The author takes the time to set up an overall premise: Selah is telling a series of story to a woman with amnesia in hopes that she will recognize herself in these stories and remember herself. From that point on, the reader knows that they should pay attention to the women characters in the novel. Yes, it’s not always stated that this is the woman Selah is talking to, but thanks to our ability to blend ourselves with various viewpoints thanks to blended joint attention and pattern recognition, we’re able to spot her. This allows us to follow a common thread from narration to narration.Huvra Mehta Yes

While this is very common in today's trailers, trailers of the older movies almost always use explicit narrations.It seems that letting the movie’s characters narrate their own stories is more appealing in movie trailers. Although an explicit narration might better summarize the story, it shifts the ground from the scenes within the movie to the interaction between the narrator and the audience and therefore stops the audience from immerging into the story. 0:00:430:01:19Jason ZhaoYesNarrating with character lines in Suicide Squade trailertxz99@case.edu

However, by the end of the reading, it becomes clear that the narrator was responsible for a murder, which he had previously obscured from the readers view, but gradually became less and less able to hide in his storytellingI find this reading really interesting for how it explores an important quality of narration: the sense of trust that is immediately established between the narrator and the reader. By having the reader grow uncomfortable with the narrator, Poe creates and interesting sense of unease that propels the story forward and makes it much more frightening then is would have been if the reader had known about the narrator's actions and untrustworthly charcter from the beginning. 0:00:000:14:27Christopher GittingsYesTell-Tale Heart explores the concept of trust in narrationcwg28@case.edu

His narration gave Bill a personality with characteristics. The audience is able to attribute a story and character solely though this narration.

The change in intonation from Robin and Lily's voice to Barney's voice during the cut also changes the listener's reaction.The listener’s thoughts about a character (Barney and Ted) changes immediately in response to the cut (quick flashbacks putting Barney in the same scenes as Ted doing the same gestures and facial expressions). The quick cuts (the fast timing, same gestures, mimicking intonation) adds to the humor of the situation. This is effective because the strategically placed flashbacks arrive at the height of annoyed and distressed facial expressions by the female characters (Lily and Robin), conveying the absurd reality of the situation to the listener as they learn what actually happens (Ted did not cheat on Robin, but instead it was Barney who acted as Ted to prove a point).0:11:000:12:08Karthik RavichandranYes

9/8/2017 2:04:22YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnvUUauFJ98In this clip we see President-elect Obama addressing the nation for the first time after his victory. He appears hopeful, humble, often looking off toward the horizon. He keeps his hands on the podium for the majority of the speech. In the highlighted section he only makes a co-speech gesture a handful of times (pun intended). This is very contrasting to his victory speech 4 years later. In that speech he is using his hands almost constantly. He often looks down, possibly feigning eye contact with the crowd. He gives a very positive message but his body language is more reserved and tired.This clip and its twin (the victory speech Obama delivers 4 years later) show the effects of power and the Presidency on Obama. He commands a much larger stage presence and is much more animated with his co speech gestures in 2012. In the victory speech during his first term his hands remain on the podium the majority of the time. In his 2012 speech almost every point is accompanied by a co-speech gesture. He still shows humility by occasionally "bowing" to the camera but his posture and movements are significantly more commanding after his first 4 years in office. In his 2012 speech Obama wears his power suit. He is the President of the United States, Leader of the Free World and you are to know it. When he is first elected he wears his power with great humility, almost an apprehension. 0:01:400:08:00

The alternating short and long lines are attention-grabbing, and matches the “fire and ice” tone of much of her poetry. That is, her themes within her poems often contain elements of warmth and serenity which are contrasted with harsh sounds and words.

You have the police cops outside shooting into the house and then the people in the house defending themselves. So its two different story lines, but the director jumps so quickly from the police cops to the people and does this so many times that you are not even aware that there are two story lines. You are able to see both sides of the battle in such a flawless cut and editing manner and get the whole gist of the story. I find the fact that the editing is so clean that cognitively it takes us time to even realize the fact that there are two different scenarios going on. But is the editing and cutting and jumping is done in a precise manner, our mind may not even be able to realize that we are actually watching two different scenarios. The way a producer can make a clip so flawless and fulfilling is so interesting. None Unknown0:00:240:01:27Akila NallappanYesNone
The cuts, jumps and transitions during the battle between the people and police cops was so interesting. There is two totally different things going on, but since the editor had cut the clips so well you were able to see both sides of this amazing battle and also from both perspectives without realizing that they had to actually film two separate scenes and then put them together.
