7 video comparison

here is my group's video.
http://angsalerno.blogspot.com/2011/05/silent-movie.html  here is another groups'.

Both their video and our video uses lines and movement together. In ours, the sidewalks are the lines that illustrate where the character will be moving. In theirs it works in the same way with the car; the road shows where the car will go. Also in ours, there is a lot of linear movement across the screen as the character runs across campus. The videos are also comparable because of the use of music to drive the story forward. However their video uses it in a way that casually keeps the video going, since there is no voice over. Ours uses the music to drive the story forward in a way that illustrates the characters emotions. Both videos are also contrasting in that way, that one is silent and one is not. Our video is silent for most of the time, however. They are also contrasting in that ours has color and theirs does not. Both videos also make use of tension and release because the story builds and tension is created between two characters and at the end of both videos, the tension is released as both female characters exit scene after announcing something surprising that changes the mood.
