Squat and jump
As seen in the video, Kevin’s legs and arms stretch out while jumping, appearing different from when he was squatting down. This shows the squash and stretch principle. The squatting position itself is in anticipation of the jump, showing the anticipation principle. The change of pose from squat to jump shows the pose to pose principle. The camera position is about to move in preparation for the jump, showing the staging principle. Kevin’s clothes and part of his hair does not move along with his body; rather it continues moving after he landed, following the laws of physics and the follow through and overlapping action principle. As he jumps, gravity begins to pull him down, slowing him down before descending. This is the slow in and out principle. As he jumps, his hand swings briefly, showing the secondary action principle. Lastly, the time it takes for him to land also shows the timing principle.
Punching
Jeremy’s hands and Vanan’s whole body shows the squash and stretch principle due to how it changes shape and position throughout the whole punching scene. Also, Jeremy’s very slow but brief jerk, along with the angry expression on his face and the clenching of his fist shows some amount of anticipation for his punch. I think Jeremy undergoes straight ahead action as his change of pose is minimal while Vanan’s reaction to the punch is pose to pose due to how he changes from standing to falling. Jeremy’s sleeves have follow through and overlapping action principle as it continues moving after the punch, although it isn’t so obvious. When Jeremy was about to punch, it started out slow before he got a swift punch. Vanan’s reaction was initially fast but slows down. Hence, both shows the slow in and out principle. Jeremy’s punch move in an arc, along with Vanan’s whole body after the punch. The clenching of Jeremy’s fist, along with the angry face, before the punch serves as secondary action. The timing of the punch and its following reaction keeps it realistic.
Throwing and catching
The way their arms move and changes shape shows the squash and stretch principle. Also, in anticipation for their throw, they swing their arms back before throwing. In addition, the catcher’s hands are stretched out, ready to catch the ball; another anticipation action. The camera movement, shifting between the thrower and catcher as the ball moves, shows the staging principle. Both catcher and thrower shifts from standing position to catching position before going to throwing position. This is the pose to pose principle. The shaking of the strings on Kevin’s jacket shows a minor amount of follow through and overlapping action. The speed of the ball constantly shifts from fast to slow and then fast again as it descends, showing the slow in and out principle. The ball’s movement, along with the movement of the catcher and thrower’s arms, move in an arc.
Throwing and catching with fakings
Most of the principles mentioned previously apply, though there are some additional actions that feature some of the principles. The fake throwing attempt shows the anticipation principle as it is similar to getting ready to throw. The movement of the arms while faking is in an arc and the slight change in shape before throwing is the squash and stretch principle. Also, while faking, the camera focuses on the ball, showing the staging principle.
Running
I grew bigger as I get closer and the change in shape for my whole body shows the squash and stretch principle. The camera’s focus being locked on me displays the staging principle. The movement more or less shows the straight ahead principle as there is little change from one pose to another. As I reach the top of the stairs, I begin to slow down, showing the slow in and out principle. The swinging of my arms is in an arc and serves as secondary action. The exhausted look on my face also displays secondary action. The time it takes for me to run up the stairs displays the timing principle.
Pushups and recovery
The bending of Jeremy’s arms displays the squash and stretch principle. The change of posture between each pump, along with his recovery from the pushup position shows the pose to pose principle since he changes pose multiple times. His clothes continue moving after each pump and after standing up, hence the follow through and overlapping action principle. As he does each pump of pushups, he descends quickly before stopping. He then pushes himself up at a slower pace. Thus, this displays the slow in and out principle. His arm moves in an arc for each pump and the movement of his arms as he recovers serves as secondary action.
