Leading Lines Vertical o    Vertical lines have the ability to convey a variety of different moods in a photograph ranging from power and strength (think of skyscrapers) to growth (think of trees). Vertical Lines ·          Horizontal o    In contrast to the effect of vertical lines, horizontal lines can lend a lazy, calm feeling to a photograph.

Critique

Critique The comments I received were good because I could learn from them. Someone said that music would have helped and I agree with that. Also, someone said that the tempo was good and really added to the feeling that they got while watching which was my intention. I feel like I edited the clips for the tempo the best.

After the child in the coffin, the person may seem like he/she is grieving. Finally, after the attractive person, the person may seem lustful. Even though after every shot the person’s face remains unchanged, the viewer gets a different view of the person’s emotions. The Kuleshov effect started to shape the film industry as a whole after many discovered the incredible effects it could have in a film. Not only...
