The video essay I created was an analysis of the Black Mirror scene examining the surveillance bee that had “malfunctioned” and was involved in a death. It was interesting to examine how the editors most notably used different camera angles to shift the audience’s focus, and to also set the presence of technology. I noticed more closely the usage of close ups to convey emotions of characters by focusing of their eyes as was frequently mentioned in the videos and had a lot of fun looking more into a show past its initial context/plot. Please take a look here!

The analysis was great, but I’d really like to hear about your process for putting it together. It looks like you managed to capture screen video directly from Netflix, which many people weren’t able to do.

Sorry! I didn’t realize in the moment that I should’ve included more on that. I used the program Loom, which I use often for my advertisement agency, and was able to turn off the camera and only have the microphone with the Netflix clip playing in the background.
