For some reason, the audio part of these videos do not seem to work right. I've typed out basically what I said, and the pauses are still in the video
Additionally, blogger refuses to upload the video every time I try to export. The original video is here, but the times will be off. Hopefully I can get the video up soon
0:15 eyes are lead to the object by lines of fingers and use of lighting
0:24 Teddy is framed by the stair railing
0:47 space is created in the hallway when he picks him up and slams him on the other wall
0:51 during the conversation, your eye has to move across the screen, showing the harsh contrast between the characters
1:08 paused: a great example of framing. Leonard is framed by the white curtain in the background, while Teddy is framed by the darker walls. The lines used in the video help subconsciously make decisions on what we think about the characters. There is not very many visual depth cues, which might make the hallway seem very small and compact.
1:45 paused: this part is really interesting. When it cuts to the wife from Teddy, the eye has to move, but when it cuts to the wife from Leonard, the eye does not have to move at all. This creates a connection between Leonard and the wife, while creating distance between Teddy and the wife. When it cuts from Teddy to the needle, however, the eye does not need to move at all.
2:24 as the conversation gets less heated, albeit more interesting, the eye has to travel less distance between Teddy and Leonard. This is at the turning point where the audience begins to believe Teddy over Leonard.
3:26 Leonard is framed by the small, cracked pillar. The lines don't go past the screen, symbolizing his diminishing foothold on the truth and his power in the conversation.
4:19 The lines created by his fingers lead the eye straight to the photo
