During our session we looked at a scene from how to train a dragon when the guy is trying to get the trust from the dragon. One of my favourite parts is when the dragon gives the guy the rest of his half eaten fish. The camera then pans back and forth between both of their faces, until the dragon makes a slight gesture that he should eat it. It's lovely and subtle, but since the dragon has slight characteristics of a dog, we are familiar of what his gestures mean.
This short inspired me to look at some other clips from pixar, the first one being a scene from wall-e. When he find a plant on his deserted planet. The entire films uses hardly any dialogue but gets it's story telling down perfectly through gestures and composition.
Eeva has shut down, through a sequence of emotional clips. Wall-e is having a relationship with her without her really knowing.
Or the mini movies from pixar
It hasn't been left a mystery to the viewer that Geri is playing chess by himself, but as we can see at the beginning of the short it takes him a while to get around the table. The audience would eventually get bored with watching the same thing, they speed up the transition with Geri in each seat. Because of this, it really looks like Geri is playing chess with himself. Showing separate personality's for both players.
