The first problem that arose was the fact that the joke we used is weak. So we tried to spice them up by giving the characters a lot of motivate making the audience actively search for reasoning in emotions. We came across a challenge using the elevator. There were so many people using the elevator there was no way we could use it. So we had to think of an alternative. We out a study/ rehearsal room where no one would bother us. The room also had five large exercise mats. We utilized the mats by boxing off a small area under a large circular ceiling light to create the illusion that the actors were actually in an elevator. I thought that we would have more control over the characters and the overall project if we did not have to actually worry about annoying people walking on and off the whole time. The elevator that we created also made it look like a run down elevator and which I was going for. I wanted to have all three subjects in a compact space that would create more awkwardness because they were so close to each other. Utilizing space also made the overall shot composition compact. Our videos El Elevator and Wrong Day are the same joke but two completely different movies. In El Elevator I utilized a lot of tension and release with the actors timing, music and editing. The rhythm for El Elevator was very slow and drawn out at the beginning and then BOOM his shirt is ripped open and he is in his face standing his ground. The rhythm at that point is quick with many edits and shot variations. In our other video Wrong Day Jordan wanted to completely different characters. She also wanted to show the separation in the two characters unlike El Elevator. For Wrong Day we used a large elevator in the school of music. We did this because It looked a bit more futuristic with all the metal and that it was large. We utilized the space by separating the characters physically. And since these two characters were robots Jordan wanted all movements, actions and the overall rhythm to be slow and drawn out once again opposite of El Elavator.
