You can see the connection between the movie O Brother Where Art Thou and The Odyssey by the characters, especially by the ones encountered by Pete, Everett, and Delmar. One encounter is a women washing her clothes in the river. Just like the sirens in The Odyssey she draws the boys in by her singing. Another character relating to The Odyssey is Big Dan. Having one eye you can connect him back to being a cyclops, also he is violent and attacks the crew. One last character that resembles someone from The Odyssey is the railroad homeless man. Just as Tiresias he is a blind fortune teller.
Also, some of the plot events connect back to the Odyssey. In the beginning they escape from jail. This resembles to when Odysseus escapes from Calypso and various other monsters. Also, both begin with an invocation to the Muse. Throughout the movie they are chased by the jail warden. As well in the Odyssey has Poseidon who causes trouble for Odysseus throughout his journey home. Overall there are many connections between the two and the Odyssey plays a big factor throughout O Brother Where Art Thou.
Video resolution and aspect ration both refer to the quality or width and height of an image. In film it would be the size or quality of a clip. Resolution is how many pixels are used in the image, the more the higher quality the image would be. Aspect ratio describes the shape of the image for example, a 1:1 image would be expressed as a square. Both resolution and aspect ratio go hand in hand when creating the best quality clip or image.
If I were to complete this project again I definitely would change some things. First, I would like to more of a variation in camera angles and movements. Second, I would want to plan out the story line better in advance and make sure what we film and act out goes with the story. Overall though, I am pretty happy with this film. I enjoyed editing it and felt I did a good job doing so. I learned many new skills and felt I was able to put them to use.
The music in this scene is fast and intense although the scene moves very slow. You can hear people talking, build ups in the song with sudden stops and many whirlwind like sounds. Also, there are trumpet sounds and the cars in the background. Because of the post-war time period the film is not only in color but you can also infer that the scene has a darker meaning that is most likely socially critical. The sounds create a feeling of confusion and with the post-war aspect you know that something mysterious or dark will happen. There is something uneasy about this perfect summer day.
