The first video joke that we filmed was approached about space and rhythm. We chose limited and flat space to create a dependence on the action of the characters so that the joke was the focal point and the interaction between the two characters. We had the same (affinity) space shots. Our rhythm in the first joke was constant moving of the character from left to right. This rhythm was chosen because we didn't want to confuse the audience and we wanted something that was easy to follow. Left to right is easy to follow because that is how our audience reads. The contrast in space that we chose happened between the hallway scene and the elevator. The hallway seen was limited space and had a little breathing room where as the elevator seen was up close tight and uncomfortable. This tight and uncomfortable emotion that was brought explains the situation that people are watching.
In our second joke video we used rhythm and space differently. We approached the space with affinity and the rhythm with contrast. The space was limited. It was not as flat as Joke I but it was limited so that the audience would not be distracted from the two focal characters. The space at the beginning gave the feeling to the audience that she was free from work and that it was the weekend. However, as the scene progressed the camera shots became tighter and tighter as she came to realize that it was not Friday.
The rhythm in this joke was approached with a choppy and quick cuts. This provided the feeling of an intense discussion and tension between the two characters and what they thought between what day it was. I think out of the two videos the second one was better. The cinematography helped provide a contrast in rhythm and affinity within space.
