extended speech by Princess Elizabeth

you can find and listen to it here.... Wartime Broadcast to just hear Elizabeth start at 0:47

In wishing you all 'good evening' I feel that I am speaking to friends and companions who have shared with my sister and myself many a happy Children's Hour.

Thousands of you in this country have had to leave your homes and be separated from your fathers and mothers. My sister Margaret Rose and I feel so much for you as we know from experience what it means to be away from those we love most of all.

To you, living in new surroundings, we send a message of true sympathy and at the same time we would like to thank the kind people who have welcomed you to their homes in the country.

All of us children who are still at home think continually of our friends and relations who have gone overseas - who have travelled thousands of miles to find a wartime home and a kindly welcome in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States of America.

My sister and I feel we know quite a lot about these countries. Our father and mother have so often talked to us of their visits to different parts of the world. So it is not difficult for us to picture the sort of life you are all leading, and to think of all the new sights you must be seeing, and the adventures you must be having.

But I am sure that you, too, are often thinking of the Old Country. I know you won't forget us; it is just because we are not forgetting you that I want, on behalf of all the children at home, to send you our love and best wishes - to you and to your kind hosts as well.

Before I finish 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 sailors, soldiers and airmen, and we are trying, too, to bear our own share of the danger and sadness of war.

We know, everyone of us, that in the end all will be well; for God will care for us and give us victory and peace. 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.

Goodnight, children.

Goodnight, and good luck to you all.

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.

Write/find a short bio, of the person giving the speech.

Elizabeth II has been the United Kingdom's reigning monarch since 1952. She was proclaimed queen on 6 February 1952 following the death of her father, George VI; she was formally crowned the next year, on 2 June 1953. Her husband, Prince Philip, comes from the royal family of Greece and was created Duke of Edinburgh prior to their wedding on 20 November 1947. Elizabeth and Philip had four children: Charles (b. 1948), Anne (b. 1950), Andrew (b. 1960) and Edward (b. 1964); as the eldest, Prince Charles is heir to the throne. Queen Elizabeth is the sister of the late Princess Margaret, daughter of the late Queen Mother, mother-in-law to the late Princess Diana, and grandmother to the princes William and Harry. She also shares a name with a famous predecessor, Queen Elizabeth I. The queen celebrated her Golden Jubilee in 2002, marking 50 years on the throne.

Timeline Process

PROJECT OVERVIEW: The idea of this assignment was to get the class thinking about how to show time in a way that was type based and logical. This was to show time in an order that would be read as a time line easily by the viewer and stay interesting.

our first step was to brain storm ideas that could be used as timelines.





As u can tell, many of my beginning ideas were all photo based. After making these though, it did give me a better direction of what I wanted to do and I stuck with the clothesline idea.





On this second step I was going with the idea of a flip book, spacing out the clothespins to represent time. On this design I could not figure out a good way to incorporate text (a big problem since this was a typographic project.)






During this stage, I worked with my arrangement and trying to form a focus of what I want the overall image to be. I started out with the buildings and the clothesline. But in the beginning stages the buildings where seeming to be the main part of the image so I was working with making the time line more of the focal point along with incorporating the text into the time line as opposed to slapped on the side.





This is the FINAL. The colors are actually much more vibrant then this and the black words stand out more.

Project Brief: Starting out with this project I was extremely confused about how I would execute it and even though it is easy. It was a challenge thinking of ways to show time of the traditional time line. At first I went through many explorations to help me decide. Although most ideas could not be reused, I think it's great that we were required to do this exploration that way We had things to think about and a way planned out. Like I said, Originally I was set on doing the flip book design. I picked that because I knew it would be long enough to show the time difference well. But after designing and getting no where, I decided a poster idea would be easier and not require a lot of wasted paper on the epson.

I thought these were really neat!!

Type and Image

Based on the reading of 'Type and Image,' I found these posters that were interesting and went well with the ideas.


This image used for the movie SAW is based on a metaphore that helps relate to the grusomeness of the movie but also conveys another message. The tools present show that this is in fact SAW 4, or in Roman Numerals IV.

This is a poster that I really liked from the first time I looked at it. At first I was a little confused. At first glance, this person seems to be against art, but digging deeper this is not the case at all. This work was executed in a very interesting way. The graphic designer used bold words along with a well known image to capture the viewers attention. They used ALTERATION of an original to get the point across. Once I started reading the words making up this image, I was really glad I had. It's about how people look at graphic designers saying that they are not real artists and that they have all the information given to them (basically steal everything) and have no emotional attachment to their work. The artist came back with meaningful comments such as graphic design does not need to be displayed in a gallery in order to function. If it is a good design it will always speak for itself. You do not need to know who the creater was in order to appreciate it. And even though Graphic Design seems easy and 'stolen,' the designers created this image, and people "wrongly imply that a designers interpretation and execution of an idea is not thier own work."
