Conventions:

In conventions, there are four major stages to evaluate a eligible episode. They are pre-intro bumper, standard introduction, chunked segments and standard outro. For pre-intro bumper, the episode did well. There is a clearly introduction of texted only in Emoji for a month. It told you what would happen during the episode. For standard introduction, For standard introduction, it had about 15 seconds to introduce. It was less than 20 seconds. For chunked segments, it mentioned the benefit of text with the emoji. It also tells us how they text with emoji together. For standard outro, it has the goodbye message and outro music. It helps me to figure out which one should be really tough for me, which one should be easy for me. For my group, we choose to turn off the notification. We would like to face the tough challenge instead of facing the easy one.

Questions:

How do they can keep doing that but others not?

If the emoji cannot represent the meaning, what should we do?

What is Respiration?

Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens in all living cells, such as animal cells, plant cells. It is the way that energy is released from glucose so that all the other chemical processes needed for life can happen. There are two different kinds of respiration. One is aerobic respiration. One is anaerobic respiration. The formula of aerobic respiration is glucose+oxygen–carbon dioxide+water. In aerobic respiration, glucose and oxygen changed into carbon dioxide, water and release energy, In anaerobic respiration,  glucose breaks down without oxygen. Anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid. This can lead to painful muscle crampsRespiration is necessary because no respiration, no food for plants; no respiration, no humans will be alive. Respiration is really important. Hope that help. Hope you will not be stuck by the homework of respiration.

Stop Motions


For stop motions project, I worked with Andy for the project. For our partner agreement, we mostly obey that. We tell others what he needs to do for help, when we need to work online together. It was well organised actually. For things we need to add on, I think that should be the technologies thing. Sometimes, I am confused how to do the work for my part, but I know how to work on his part. May be a suitable division of the work is necessary to add on our partner agreement. During the project period, we all working on our work. We have a clearly division of work, so we know what we need to do for purpose. We all help each other well. If he needs me to do something, I would do it in the correct way. So, he was able to rely on me when I helped him. I can try to learn more technically skills, such as editing videos. If I know more, I will become more helpful for my partners.

Reflection of Rationale

What is the ‘emotional significance’ in this moment (what should the audience feel and why?) Nostalgia, Safety, Warmth, Resonant?

Resonance as in they understand and realise that everyone has some types of objects that they emotionally rely on. Nostalgia as they recall what everyone of their favourite possessions carry. Explaining that hoodies protect the writer of this vignette shine light on how individuals use their items as an emotional shield and support. Using images that imply protection created by the hoodie like hoodie pocket providing heat for cold hands gives off warmth toward the audience.

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

The final work should create a comfortable atmosphere with little tension, and just a casual story about hoodies. “Mitten”, and “warmly baked goods” are outstanding examples of a casual, warming tone. The writer used an informal register as if he is talking to you face to face. The work should feel intimate and engaging. “Care about you very much”, “what it”, and “but”, all these words create a reassuring tone, the audience is being trusted with the author’s protection and insecurities.

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

Yes. Because those elements will affect the atmosphere we are trying to create. We will look back at various stages of production to determine whether we have created the atmosphere we wished for, and go on from there.

Summarise the scene in three words and explain why you chose them:

Protection, Memory, Trust. The hoodies protected the writer from the outside world but also hid his insecurities, supporting him throughout. Every hoodie is unique to him and carries special memories. He would only exchange hoodies out of trust because every hoody means something.

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

I would want my audience to wonder how hoodies would carry such significance. They would be more interested in the story plot and how it came to be.

We all communicate clearly when we make the video. We have a clearly division of work. We all know what we need to do. The quality of the video shows our achievement for the project.
