Both videos were essentially in affinity with each other with the exception of the animated parrot and the human “parrot.” The dialogue and scenes are essentially the same, keeping close to the original joke. Line is used to frame the repairman according to the rule of thirds during the scene where he receives the phone call. In the kitchen lines are directed towards the repairman from the cabinets and shelves. The use of space was very crowded, much like a typical college student’s apartment. The space creates more tension inside the home, but outside there is more of a release with a less cramped space. The mainly used framing was the medium shot, for the first video there were more close up shots between the repairman and the parrot. For the second video there is text and subtext, the text being that there is someone with a parrot hat on, and the subtext being that the person thinks they are a parrot.

The image by Salvador Dali and the cropped version are AFFINITY with each other when it comes to LINE & SHAPE and SPACE. Both images CONTRAST with each other when it comes to the type of framing. When it comes to line and shape both images have circular shapes that are arranged so that the circles line up with each other. In the original there is a background shape that looks like a woman, in the close up there is not enough to tell there is a picture. The picture of the woman is OBJECTIVE while the surrounding circle and who the woman is are SUBJECTIVE. The space of the image is very deep, while the cropped version is still deep it is not quite as deep. The FRAMING of the original picture would be a close up shot because it is mainly the focus of the woman’s face. In the cropped version it would be an extreme close up of the woman’s lips if anyone could tell at first glance. I enjoy this image because it reminds me of figure-ground images which I think are interesting.
