In our first movie “Trouble in the Kitchen” we really tried use different kinds of space in our shots. We tried to show limited space and deep space by using the position of the characters and the furniture. We attempted to really focus on specific camera angles and creative shots while still following the 180-degree rule to give the viewer a clear understanding of the layout of the scene. We also really strived to show movement in the frames using complex movements and simple horizontal and vertical movements of the characters. 

In the second video we focused less on showing space within the frames and more on line and shape. Because of the toys were some of the main characters we really had to use the background and the other objects in the scene to make lines within the frame that were balanced but also directed the viewer’s attention to the POI. We wanted the subtext of the story to create affinity among the different shots because since we used toys it was hard to find a way for the audience to consciously know who was talking in the scene and whom they should be paying attention to.
