1) Composing movement:
The points made about how to convey emotion were very interesting and pointed out ideas that I never considered when watching films. The point about how to make emotions more intense depending on the amount of people involved in the movement at once. The speaker used different directors of special effects to showcase how films (that are considered eyecatching) involve many moving parts in the background.
2) Editing time and space:
Animation requires fewer frames in order to get a message across. Also, I think the way Kon did cuts between scenes or to show a dream was extremely creative and requires a lot of vision. The video mentioned he would sketch out scenes having the next one in mind. I think being able to see these connections is really amazing, however, I wonder if Kon ever sees these connections between images for cuts between scenes, but others do not see it or understand it. Does he include it anyway and hope for a better reception?
3) How to structure a video essay:
Takeaways: Therefore, but, meanwhile back at the ranch. References an Orsen Welles video essay, and explains that you should tell a story that has to be put into a specific order. It also says to have two stories occurring in parallel. You should build one up and then go to others when it gets to its peak or get boring "meanwhile back at the ranch." I think this is good to keep in mind for capturing the viewer for the entirety of the film
4) The poetry of details:
Sometimes less is more - or viewers don't need to see the entire scene to understand what is happening on the emotions a character is feeling. I think this is important to keep in mind when shooting a video or photograph. When giving the viewer less information, that can be assumed based on the context, it makes the viewer more engaged.
