Taming of the Shrew Stop Motion Induction Scene Project

Taming of the Shrew Stop Motion Induction Scene

 

During the stop motion production of “Taming of the Shrew” induction scene written by William Shakespeare, Andrew, Nick, and Gabriel all contributed in different ways, Gabe was the IPad master and worked with the apps and taking the pictures, while Nick was a co Lego master and worked on some paper work, Andrew was also a co Lego master and worked together with Nick on the worksheet. The inset is the actual play, while the induction acts like introduction to the play, but doesn’t necessarily have to have a relation to the inset. It applies to our project because we are doing the induction scene and have to build up to the inset to make it flow. We used an app called stop motion which helped a lot with the process of making the film some of the nice features were paid but they were not necessary. We applied stop motion to the induction by using Lego figures and our computer to create a background

We could capture it differently on stage in a more simple and easy to understand way and we had a lot of fun getting a greater knowledge of the play as well as creating our own image of it. Some challenges we occurred was not doing the explaining of the induction and inset at the beginning because we did it and the end and were unable to copy and paste it to the start. What we learned during this project was a greater understanding of the induction to the play “Taming of The Shrew” as well as learning how to use new apps like stop motion and text to speech. Which is two apps that we could use in the future.

Animal Farm Propaganda Poster

propaganda poster

Included in the poster “4 legs good, 2 Legs bad”, one would recognize the propaganda techniques such as repetition, fear, glittering generalities, and scapegoat. The Propaganda technique repetition is used by the person in power to influence the beliefs of the ones around them. Found in the poster, “4 legs good, 2 Legs bad” is the slogan that gets repeated by the animals living on animal farm to keep the belief going that man ruins their lives. The propaganda tactic fear is used to scare members telling them that bad things will happen if one does not follow the plan. The image of the farmer Mr. Jones can be found within the poster bringing fear into the animals’ minds, reminding them of the terrible life Mr. Jones gave them. Glittering generalities is a technique using vague words usually in a catchphrase or slogan that cannot be proven true or false. The phrase “4 legs good, 2 Legs bad” found in the poster is an example of a glittering generality because that statement cannot be proven true or false and the wording is very general. The Propaganda technique scapegoat is used to simplify a complex situation by presenting one group or person as the enemy. The poster is presenting scapegoat because it represents mankind as the enemy. One would recognize that the propaganda techniques repetition, fear, glittering generalities, and scapegoat are represented in the poster about mankind ruining the animals’ lives.
