Taming of the Shrew Stop Motion Induction Scene Project

https://youtu.be/pN0l03Y7okU

This play is named “The Taming of the Shrew” written by William Shakespeare. My partner is Sarah. She was responsible for taking the stop motion pictures while I was moving the Lego figures. In the end both Sarah and I worked on the audio and narration of the video. Inset is the main play, and the induction is the introduction of the main play. As the induction scene finished, the players that were on stage moved to the side. They prepared to watch the main play. The induction scenes of our play applied to “ The Taming of the Shrew.” “Sly” a character of the play begins to be mocked. Thus helping cool the audience down with a sense of comedy and entertainment. The inset began when the bed that “Sly” and “Page” were sitting on slid towards the side preparing themselves to watch the main play. The app used to help produce this video was “Stop Motion.” We would move the Lego figures with slight movements that would create a flow of action and scenes. After the filming of the video; we started to record the narration and voices. In order to record the audio, we downloaded an app called “Text to Speech” for different accents. For extra effects we included sound effects that helped present the play more engagingly. For example, when the players had knocked the door of the lord’s home; we included the sound of a knock on a wooden door. One of the challenges that we had experienced was working on the audio. We were not always able to fit the amount of narration and voices that we had originally prepared. Another challenge we were faced with was the process of moving the Lego figures. The Legos themselves were quite small and dainty thus making it quite difficult to keep them in place. By doing this project, it gave us more of an understanding and visual of the play.

Animal Farm Propaganda Poster

20160405_233729

In this propaganda poster “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, the viewer will notice propaganda techniques such as repetition, fear, plain folk, and glittering generalities. The first method used in the story is repetition. Information is repeated to further convince the reader. “Death” is written multiple times on the side of the human and “Sugarcandy Mountain” is written a lot on the side of the animals. The second method used is fear. It is a method that helps warn the audience that a disaster will occur if they do not follow a particular action. In this poster, there is a dead pig that is lying beside the man. The man is holding a weapon and there is a raining cloud above him. The second to last method used is plain folk. It helps to convince the viewer that the spokesperson 1is just like them. The spokesperson portrays themselves to be someone that the viewer can’t trust. Plain folk can be found within this poster by the picture of the happy looking animals. The viewers will feel they could be happy and be able to live like the animals in the poster. Lastly, it used glittering generalities which is an emotionally appealing phrase. The slogan “4 legs good, 2 legs bad” is a glittering generalities because it captures the viewer’s attention and it evokes strong feelings that humans are bad. One would notice that repetition, fear, plain folk, and glittering generalities are used in this poster and will be able to easily understand the message given. The life with humans will be mistreated and the life without humans will be like heaven.
