Homework: Journals, questions, etc.

SEQUENCE DESIGN: The sequence design was a good way to practice thinking through spacing of type and how to make it visually more appealing. Type in different styles, sizes and layout on the page all give the books different meanings. If an actually speech such as the one we are going to do in class were to be put in, The pauses would be shown through the text being spaced out more and more with color fields in between and things that more emphasis were on would be the bold, all caps, examples.

VIDEOS WITH AND WITHOUT SOUNDS: Watching the videos with and without sound were completely different experiences. First I watched without sound so I had no idea what was going on or what the animator was thinking. Personally, without sound seemed to be a little boring and parts were too slow, especially in the video Human Factor- title sequence by saul bass. I felt that once the music was in there were more emphasis on things, also adding suspense and anticipation to movement. Music and sound also work together to make the animation smoother and seem more precise with purpose.

Speech by Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret:

I can truthfully say to you all, that we children at home are full of cheerfulness and courage. We are trying to do all we can to help our gallant sailers, soldiers, and airmen. And when peace comes, remember it will be for us, the children of today,to make the world of tomorrow a better and happier place. My sister is by my side and we are both going to say goodnight to you. Come on Margaret. Good night soldiers. Goodnight and good luck to you all.

Who is speaking?

Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret

Why was/is the speech important to society?

Its a speech by children addressed to children which does not happen a lot.

Why do you feel in is important or interesting?

It was by Princess Elizabeth on the radio addressed to the children of England (many living away from home because of the war). It was to be calming because Elizabeth was only 14 years old and this BBC broadcast was during children's hour so they would hear and not worry. In the extended version she talks of her parents and what she knows about the war. How she is confident that peace will come.

What is the emotion, mood, tone, personality, feeling of the speech?

Uplifting. No worries, confident.

What is intonation, emphasis, what is loud, stressed, or soft. Where are there pauses...

truthfully, children at home, cheerfulness and courage, sailers, soldiers, airmen

What do you FEEL should be loud or soft, long pause or rushed?

long pause on confident and peace and more positive ideas...more rushed on soldiers, airmen, and sailers just because it is the scary thing to children.

Is there a call to action? When listening to it what are key/emphasized words?

she is saying that the children of today will make the world a better place once war comes.

How does it make you feel?

surprisingly calm. Because she is so young it was a good idea to have her talk about something so controversial. Even though adults might think she doesn't know what she is talking about, it is calming for other children.

How do imagine that the audience felt?

I feel this was sort of a calming effect for children. Children were very scared and uneasy, especially ones away from their parents during the war. To have a figure to look up to, especially one close in age would be a relief.

Could there be another interpretation of the speech?

Another interpretation is that maybe she didn't want to do the speech at all or even know anything about the war she was just made do this to be a calmer. But Another interpretation entirely I do not believe so.
