The Hero/Villan combination posted here is very different in many ways. First, the contrast and affinity between the two is very noticeable. One is good, one is bad, plain and simple.............. Just kidding, thats not all. The movement of the Villan is very slow, like he is a towering giant wanting revenge on this laboratory that presumably made him that way? Maybe thats why he's evil, cause he's ugly. Good work lab guys. The hero on the other hand is a high flying, sunny day kind of hero, the kind that makes you feel good about yourself. I wish i could fly on sunny days. But his heroism and good feeling are supported when he blocks the lighting from the dark, evil clouds that block his sunlight. No bad guy would do that.
The main way you can tell the difference between the two is through the use of color. For the villan, he is a darkish green, with bits of what appear to be flesh showing, including his overly large brain. Dark green is a color of envy and anger, underlying his evilness. He could be also be envious of the hero's position in society, giving his reason behing is evil personality. Also, almost all super evil villans have large brains (though they never seem to work, since they always lose to the hero).
The hero's color's, blue and yellow, are complimentary colors, going very well with each other. They are also bright, hinting at the superhero's heroic nature. The cape flowing in the wind, along with the sun shinning and the way he is posing also give credence to his heroic personality.
The Hero villain combo posed here has contrast and affinity between the combination. the Hero is very tall and masculine, with big muscles. The ghost is dark, and has supernatural powers.
The color differences are drastic too. The red and blue attire of the hero give him a manly tone, that accents his muscles and huge axe. They are also bright colors symbolizing his heroism. The black and red of the villain symbolize his evilness, along with his ghost like appearance. It give a dark tone, and compliments his supernatural powers.
The Hero/Villain combo posted here is very different in many ways. First off, the contrast and affinity between the two is very drastic. The Hero, or Heroine as i should say, is very agile and nimble, with her ballerina costume accenting those traits, or powers. The villain is slow and strong, with his red and black costume giving affinity to his dark tendencies.
The main differences between them lie within the color the heroine and villain choose to portray in their costume. Her pink dress she wears gives her an underlining feminine feel, as pink is usually associated with feminism. It also is a very bright color, leading you to believe that she is in fact a good guy and not evil. The overall theme behind a ballerina are the gracefulness of the way they move, and the pink costume leads you and helps tie together her powers of jumping really high and flying, along with her ability to backflip and do crazy things like that. And although ballerina's aren't usually strong, the fact that this one is a super hero helps make the fact that she can knock out a giant fish more believable.
The villain's colors also help assert his evil intentions. When he's first introduced he doesn't look that evil because red could be a good or evil color. but once he has a vision of burning the world and his face turns angry, the cape helps add to the evil nature of the character. Red is a symbol of power, and this is shown with his powers that he possesses. The ball of energy he makes is slow yet strong, as it is able to create a huge mushroom cloud visible from space.

Our Video from Joke 9
The Video I will be comparing.
The Video I will be comparing.
The two videos from my group and my fellow classmates group, while contain scripts based on two different jokes, have some similarities between the way they use lines and space, but have some differences in contrast and affinity. I’ll call my clip, Clip 1 and the other, Clip 2.
The way lines are used in the two clips are both similar and different. In Clip 2, while the man is sitting at his desk at the office, his tie contrasts with his shirt, leading you up to his face, and helping show your eye the emotion and annoyance his face gives off. In Clip 1, the lines of the train help keep your eye centered on it while the character is playing with it.
The way space was used was similar in both clips also. In Clip 2, the way the camera framed him in his office showed how crammed it was, further giving you the sense how that could be adding to his anxiety and annoyance. In Clip 1, the way the shot frames the kid in his room shows why he is bored and is anxious to get out and play with his train again.
Also, the way that the characters are shown and their actions show some contrast and affinity with what we would assume them to be in real life. The man in Clip 2 shows an affinity with the average business worker because of his stress and how much he hates his office job. The child shows a contrast because an average child wouldn’t use that kind of language, at least a child who plays with a toy train.
The clips are similar in the sense of lines to lead the eye and the use of space to convey and help support certain emotions, while the characters show some contrast and affinity with what we would expect them to be in real life. Overall, both were well done in terms of writing, acting and the way they were filmed.
