=Video world vs. the real world=

Watch the videos below. Ask each other some of these questions:


 * How is what you see in a finished video different from what happened in real life?
 * What are some of the ways these videos deceive you? What do they do to make things seem more realistic?
 * Are these videos realistic? Do they portray reality?
 * Is there a difference between being "realistic" and "portraying reality"?


 * Have you seen this one? If you know how it's done, don't tell. See if the others can figure it out. ||

 * Watch the video first, then highlight the space below to see how it's done.

The video of Adam and Jamie solving the Rubrik's Cube is actually playing backwards. They both started with a completed cube then used their feet and hands to mix them up. The man with the hat walking past in the background plays a big role here. He looks like he is just casually walking past but, since this is actually playing backwards, he was filmed walking backwards. Seeing him walk past helps trick you into believing what you see. ||

Compare these two videos: You don't need to watch them from beginning to end.
 * Look at the finished video first.
 * Music, dancing, singing.
 * It looks fun. || Now look at the "making of" video. * They are often dancing to no music.
 * Things are not filmed in order.
 * They record themselves doing some of the same moves over and over again.
 * Notice how different the finished video looks compared to what it looks like when they are in the process of making it. ||
