Homework Questions.

The Human Skateboard video utilizes interesting camera angles to catch the viewer's attention. The camera angle is from the level of the person personifying the skateboard looking up.  This angle is rarely used in commercials.  This angle makes the viewer look at the human skateboard directly, and makes it the focus. This focus, in turn, causes the viewer to listen more closely to the sounds because they relate directly to the position of the person on the ground.  If this commercial were shot from only one camera angle, it would not have been nearly as strong of a piece.  This is because there would have been less of a focus on the human skateboard, which is what makes the commercial so eye-catching. 

After watching the video "Moth" without sound for the first time, I could still tell what the clip was designed to be. However, the title of the video gave it away. But the way the clip moved was exactly like a moth, from the attraction to the light to the sudden flitting movements. Even the frog as the tape dispenser was easy to understand without sound. 

Watching the video with sound was easier to understand, although not essential. The sound gave more information about the wings and the speed of which they were moving.

"Acausal" refers to an event or situation that does not have a certain cause of effect. Two situations are put together that might not have anything to do with each other. Einstein's article defined this for me through the many examples of two separate situations described back to back. For example, the situation with the man who is depressed and without company, as well as the same man acting rude and antisocial. Although these events seem like they could be closely linked, it is impossible to tell with just the excerpts given.
