Assignment 4: Remix

        For this assignment, I incorporated characters laughing from various movies, cartoons, and tv shows. My inspiration came from the examples of the two videos we watched in class of the different people answering the telephone and sighing. After watching the sighing video I automatically wanted to bring the mood up, and, what other way to do so by making a video of everyone’s favorite characters laughing. Whether it is a hero or a villain, almost all the characters on screen laugh in almost every movie, cartoon, or tv show out there. I wanted the audience to realize the significance of movies, because without them life would be pretty dull. In the beginning, I tried to strategically place the clips to get the audience's attention. Towards the end I started placing shorter laughing clips to build on the laughter. My clips do not fill the entire screen so the viewer feels as if they are in a movie theater. While there is a lot of different types of laughing in my video, in the background playing is “I Love to Laugh” from Mary Poppins (also the title of my piece). Towards the end, playing in the background is ‘Merry Old Land of Oz’ from Wizard of Oz. Finally I wanted to finish the video with clips from the end of the movie, Monster’s Inc.. In the end Mike Wazowski gained enough laughter throughout the video in order to produce enough power for their monster community. The mood of this video is uplifting and humorous. I hope everyone has a good laugh watching these characters laughing just like I did making while it.
