Dpers Stop Motion Reflection Chloe

1.To what extent did you honor your original partner agreement? Looking back now, what is one thing you should have added to that agreement and how could that help future collaborations?

⇒I think all our agreements were fully honoured. First of all, we divided work equally . We managed to finished work in class so we didn’t have to do that as a homework. Also, I had mentioned earlier during our conversation that my pace of work is quite slow when it comes to IT. My partner helped me with details during the process and waited for me with patience even when I was stuck and figuring out what to do. I don’t think we should have added something more to our agreement because we could already work efficiently with those agreement we had.

2.What did you bring to this collaboration? How well was your partner able to rely on you? What can you do to be more reliable in future projects?

⇒I think what I did well in terms of collaboration is that I listened to my partner’s ideas carefully and presumed positive intentions. Also, we could rely on each other very well because we had the trust that both of us took responsibility of the work. We brought all the things we needed for filming. I liked the way we worked as a group because we kept putting our ideas on the table and we made connection between those in some ways afterwards. Actually the way we respected each other’s opinion made it really for each other easy to suggest ideas and ask questions that might sound even stupid. With that respect and cooperation, we could find good solutions even when we faced challenges such as not having a lego that could show detailed movements of cycling. To be more reliable in the future projects, I think I should develop technical skills and could be able to work more efficiently. In terms of collaboration, it would be better if I could organise thought more clearly before talking to my partner.

Original Rationale

What is the ‘emotional significance’ in this moment (what should the audience feel and why?)

⇒The start of Sean’s journey through cycling when he is first choosing his helmet in seaside bike shop and thinking of all the possibilities. Audience should be sympathetic on how excited he was when he got his first helmet and started mountain biking.

What is the tone you want to convey in your work, and how does that reflect the original word choices in the passage?

⇒Looking ahead to possibilities with his helmet but also looking back on the years he has spent with it and how much he has grown as a person throughout. 

Should the interpretation have voice over, music, dialogue, or a combination of all? What guides that decision?

⇒Voice over can be passage of writing background music with some sound effects over.

Summarize the scene in three words and explain why you chose them

⇒Exploration, contemplation, wonder.  Looking ahead with wonder looking back with contemplation and in the present with exploration.

What is one question you would want your audience to wonder about and why?

⇒We want the audience to be curious about what will happen to his journey in the future. Also, I hope them to wonder about what they are passionate about and flashback to the starting point of their own journey also. By doing that, they will be able to figure out how passionate they were about what they are doing regularly these days when they started their journey. For those who don’t have anything they like or enjoy, they will be inspired and will try to find their passion in the future.

Reflection on original rationale

⇒Sean’s helmet has saved him in many dangerous situations and has always been with him since the very start of his journey. Thus, helmet has  special value for him. We wanted to show Sean’s  love for mountain biking and how his helmet symbolises his passion about mountain biking. The video shows overview of his mountain biking journey from the start to a certain point and is able to deliver main message. Even though the main message could be conveyed, it was really difficult for us to explain what helmet means to him and the reason for that in 30 seconds video. I think this is because of the time limitation.
