Panic! At The Disco-Ready To Go


Panic! At The Disco, Ready To Go from their third album Vices & Virtues released June 6, 2011 is a 3:22 music video. Through out the video you notice how in the background is dark but you see that the emphasis is on Brenden Urie (the singer/guitarist) & Spencer Smith (drummer) yet the dark shadows on them. And as the video goes on & the band is playing the value on them gets brighter. But then when the band is playing on the roof top their dark but the background around them is brighter so the emphasis is still on them but the light changes. I like how the director still kept it on them but put it in the background. Later on when Brenden Urie is being shot out of the cannon he is being shot in this animated sky which is using complementary colors of orange & blue with yellow as well. I like how the animation of color fits in the video with so much dark in it. And when he lands on the ground & is dancing with people with umbrellas him & some of the other dancers, which are girls are wearing dark colors & have bright umbrellas. But some of the other dancers have both bright color outfits & umbrellas. I think its to keep the emphasis on the girls girls & Brenden as well. I like that settle hint of emphasis as well. I chose this video because its an entertaining video to watch & I didn't really notice all the emphasis & color till I started to think about it. Noticed it one day then decided to talk about it in blogger.

Tim Burton-Frankenweenie




 
Frankenweenie is a Tim Burton stop motion movie. Its a story about a young boy named Victor who's dog gets hit by a car & dies. He is very sad then in Science class he learns that he resurrect his dog with electricity. This movie is very unique because of the fact that its a black & white 3D stop motion movie, & of course that its a Tim Burton movie as well. The form of each character is unique because they all each have special characteristics. Young Victor looks the most normal but his eyes are emphasized with a slight dark shadow are them. Nassor looks like Frankenstein with his squared head & long face. Weird girl with her oddly cut hair & huge eyes. I have yet to see the movie but from what I can tell you is that each character has there own special thing about them with just by the form of how they're shaped. I chose this because I'm a huge Tim Burton fan, & I love stop motion. And since its almost Halloween, I might as well talked about this great movie.

The Used-All That I've Got


The Used, All That I've got, 3:54 video, released December 7, 2004, off their second CD "In Love & Death."  I choose this video because I enjoy watching it every time I watch it no matter how many times I've seen the video or have listened to the song. I love everything about this video, the story, the value, how bright it is, but my favorite part would be the end of it. When the little boy finds "HE" & it turns out that the little boy is "HE." And "HE" turns into the story in the book. I love the art in the cartoon. But before that I love that in the video the black & white lines that come into to video as it starts turning into the story in the book. Bringing the video into the story from the sides of the video to take over the whole thing. I really like that concept. Unifying everything from the book, the band, "HE" into the story of the book.

Andreea Gheorghita- Photographer

 Andreea Gheorghita is a 19 year old girl. Lives in Loma Linda California. Most of her pictures are of people. She likes to use a lot of different elements when it comes to taking pictures. She uses contrast in her black in white photos to show emphasis to show the depth in the picture. The other way she uses contrast is so when its connected with color, the clarity helps that your eyes carries around. To make the subject or focal point more obvious. Dre also likes to show those extra details with the lighting to really show depth. She uses hue to show the smaller details of color on the focal point while everything else in the background or around the focal point blurs.
