9a

I think the biggest point that didn't come across is why someone would want to play a game about Scottish people. Why would this be fun, maybe if someone was drunk?.  The objectives of the game is to get to the end of the of the road like "mario" so it is  kind of stealing an idea from someone else, so I guess the biggest thing is why would you choose this over "Mario"? I don't really know but it would be fun. It would be a good iphone app, I feel like people would actually play it.

You have a very nice stick figure of a hero.

I love your villain, I can't believe that you were able to make that through pencil. It was very well done. You can definitely tell that your character is a villain because of how dark the person is and the types of moves the character uses, also the dark shadows

7 Written Reflection



In our group we focused the most on lines in our video. We had joke script 3. Every scene had to have some focus on lines. We used doors a lot to show lines and focus points. With the shape of our characters head we kept it the way his head was, bulky square like. We used space very dramatically ranging from the little room of the dorm to the character running across campus to class, With very long shots of him running. With rhythm and movement we use a lot of synced music with the tempo of him running and falling where rhythm was needed to give the movie a comedy feel. 

The group that I really liked was the silent movie with the joke script 4
I loved this one a lot. I liked that there wasn't any color.

5A. Reimagining Visual Framing



This is Salvador Dali's "Metamorphosis of Narcissus." I knew I wanted to use one of his pictures because he is one of my favorite artists, He gives me a lot of inspiration with the music I write.

To compare these two images obviously that are both the same thing but one is a zoomed in part of the flower coming out of the egg. The part of the real picture I want to point out is the reflection of the hand on the water side. If you don't know the story of the mythical person Narcissus,  He was a very beautiful person and everyone wanted him. One day he walked up to a lake and saw his reflection and fell in love with it. He eventually died because he never moved. He was fixated on the reflection he was in love with. And Metamorphosis is a collection of books tell of ancient stories about mythical people.

For me the flower is a very import part of of the painting. It is the only thing that is growing/not dieing in the painting. I think it represents rebirth and finding new beauty and not focusing on your own, this painting is so famous because of all of the things it stands for. Every little part has a meaning. Mostly about life.

To Contrast, If I just looked at the zoomed in egg I would think of happiness and the happiness of new life but if you look at the whole painting that it is more than that. I mirrored part of the image shows death and what narcissism gives you. Either way you look at it, this painting is a beautiful way to show the problems with humanity and our self-absorbed way we only think about ourselves.
