In the first joke we used stuffed animals to convey the action. With stuffed animals we get to utilize line and shape more dramatically because stuffed animals are exaggerated figures. Lines are created when the stuffed animals are set up with OTS shots and making eye contact. Obviously they cannot really make eye contact because of the lack of life, so we can make it look like they are with lines. The shape is important because the different animals draw your eyes in different ways. The figure of the pig can be metaphorically used as the corrupt economist, thanks to shape.
In the second joke we employed movement quite a bit. Starting with the interviewer, we made her awkward. Each interviewee after that had their own unique movements. Each interviewee frustratingly left the room after their interview; each frustration being utilized with movement. Lines were used with the awkward eye contact made between both the interviewer and interviewee.
The joke script we chose conveniently uses tension and release. The joke creates a tension by making you watch one interview after another. During the first two interviews you do not where the joke is going. You finally get a release at the very end after the punch line is delivered.
The videos are similar in that they both utilized similar dialogue with similar shots. They are obviously very different with inanimate objects in one and real actors in the other.
