Week 7- Master edits in professional films.

 The Lion King- Theresa Keegan

1. Simultaneity 

In the Lion King, simultaneity is shown within these two clips. While Simba is enjoying his new life in the new area with Timon and Pumba, Pride Rock is suffering terribly under the leadership of Scar. This is simultaneity because it shows the relation between two events happening at the same time. If Simba was not in the new area with Timon and Pumba, and back in Pride Rock, he would be king, not Scar. So, if Simba was home and king, Pride Rock would not be gloomy, dry, and suffering. 

2. Symbolism

    

                         Symbolism is seen in the Lion King within the color of the fur of the lions. I am comparing the color of the lions Simba and Scar. Simbas' fur is a golden color with a red mane. These colors symbolize power and peace. Also, all of the other lions in Simbas' pride are light colored brown which represents warmth, welcoming, and peaceful. On the other hand, Scar is a dark colored lion with a black mane. All of Scars pride are dark colored hyenas and some are even black. Black symbolizes evil, mysterious, rebellious, and death. This applies to Scar and his pride because they are the bad guys in the movie, constantly trying to kill Simba, and did kill Mufasa. 

3. Leitmotiff

                                            You see leitmotiff in the Lion King when Simba sees his father, Mufasa, ghosts. The first time this happens Simba sees him in the reflection of the water. First Simba sees his own reflection but when he looks harder, he sees Mufasa. In the next scene, Simba sees Mufasas ghost in the clouds. Mufasa talks to Simba and that was the sign Simba needed to see to go back to Pride Rock and save the kingdom. In the third scene, after Simba defeats Scar and wins back Pride Rock, Simba hears Mufasa in the sky basically saying that he did the right thing and that he was proud of him. This is leitmotiff because it is a re-occuring theme throughout the film.

Weeks 5 and 6- master edits

 Video:

1. Leitmotif: In my video, I showed leitmotif all throughout the store, Seed To Table. Leitmotif are elements that contribute to the overall structure of something. Leitmotif is a re-occuring theme seen within something or someplace. At Seed To Table, the theme of the whole store is patriotism and loving your country as well as the owners supporting President Trump. Throughout the store there are many American flags, Trump signs, and even Trump cutouts, which al contribute to the leitmotif that is going on in the store. 

2. Symbolism: Symbolism is the art of imbuing object or things with meaning, making them represent something more than the sum of its parts. In my video I show symbolism in Seed To Table. Currently the whole store is decorated for fall. Most decorations are for Thanksgiving. The object I used to show symbolism with are the pumpkins all over the store. The pumpkins resemble the fall time and especially Thanksgiving. 

3. Contrast: Contrast often means opposite, but contrast can also happen when two things are just very different. In my video I showed the contrast between ketchup and mustard. They both are condiments, but they each have very different flavors. 

4: Parallelism: Parallelism is an editing technique seen in films that shows two or more scenes that happen simultaneously that happen in different locations. Most of the time regarding parallelism, the corresponding scenes will eventually meet or have some sort of connection action. In my video I showed parallelism in Seed To Table by showing two different locations, the coffee bar and the juice bar. That is two different locations that work in the same department so at one point in the night all the workers at both bar have to come together and finish the night. 

5: Simultaneity: Simultaneity is the relation between two events assumed to be happening at the same time in a given frame of reference. I showed this in my video by showing life at Seed to Table. While people are doing their regular grocery shopping through the store, in the same building only upstairs, people are having a full course meal while enjoying a live band and a full bar. The relationship between these two events/locations, is that it is all the same building and company.
