There are many differences between these two videos even thought they both convey the plot of the same joke. Both jokes express a United Way workers attempt to gain financial aid from a wealthy local attorney. After the United worker asks for a small donation the wealthy man spits off a string of very unfortunate events that have recently occurred in his family that are keeping him from donating. After this, the United Way worker feels guilty and apologetic, only to hear that the attorney is making things up and has no desire to give money to anybody. Even though these movies have basically the same plot, both have some aspects that CONTRAST each other.
In the first joke, we use LINES, in order to SUBCONSCIOUSLY, direct the viewer’s attention to the clearly more powerful attorney. For example, the sequence in which the attorney exits his house, the lines from the stairway and porch all point to the door in which the rich man is framed. This causes us to be directed to him whether we like it or not. In addition to the lines pointing us to him. Most of the movie is shot so that the camera is looking down on the United Way worker and looking up at the attorney. This shows us that the attorney has the power in the situation.
In the second joke we used RHYTHM within the frame in order create affinity between the United Way workers, and to contrast the attorney. The rhythm of the shots with the United way workers are very similar to show that they are on the same side, while the shot of the attorney ‘s office is somewhat difference to show his lack of a desire to donate money.
