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.
