- He has been around for 30+ years.
- Doesn't use much camera movement and angles to show entire environment being filmed.
- inspired by Buddhism and Christianity, and he focuses on dualism: soft & hard, loud & quiet, etc. ( he thinks you cant understand one without the other)
- this video uses white noise to help meditation and to concentrate on surroundings; calm feeling
- must focus on small details to understand the full effect of the video because it is very subtle
- the man in the video fades into the background & becomes nature
- he jumps and freezes in the air, but surroundings are still moving
- reflections of other people are seen moving in the water
- water turns black at some point then back to normal
- male comes out of water naked, disappears, then is seen walking through the woods again
- plays with idea of what is real and what isn't real, especially with reflection in water
- water drips from his feet when he is still in the air (this shows his connection with water without him being in water)
- he is first clothed before jumping, then naked after coming out of water to show his rebirth.
Will Scott-"Spike Lee"
- Lee tackles many different controversial topics in his movies, like racism
- delivery of these topics are very "in your face"
- uses vast dialogue, camera angles, and transitions to change mood of viewers and different characteristics of the characters
- The movie is titled "The 25th Hour"
- the main character complains and expresses his feelings about various people, races, generations, family members, friends, and architecture in New York city, in a very vulger way (doesn't hold back; isn't subtle)
- shows love-hate relationship
- shows images. like american flag, to arouse emotion
- this is another clip from the movie
- uses light to set emotion: blue is when the character has grasp on the conversation and situation, and red is when he is acting on impulse
- shows different taboo situations in everyday life
