Today we practised using coin shaped shapes how to do different timings and spacing to make the animation appear faster or slower. For this coin, it is evenly spread and close together to create a nice even line which is going at a consistent speed. Whereas this one has a faster speed compared to the first even tho they both start and finish at the same time. This is because the spacing of the two is different. in the first one, each frame is placed evenly and consistently, so there are no gaps between each frame. Whereas the second one has fewer frames in the centre, which makes it appear faster, even tho they have the same number of frames and start and finish at the same time. This allows me to see the difference between timing and spacing, and what I can do with it. The same can be said for the next two pendulums. Both start and finish at the same time and yet have different speeds. This is all due to the spacing of each frame. ...
Hi Grace,
ReplyDeleteWell done on getting your first review out there!
An excellent discussion around the links between German Expressionism and the film - just make sure that you are giving your reader all the background info that thay need. For example you say, 'expressionist artists such as Die Brucke', which sounds like Die Brucke is an individual person rather than an art movement. Something like 'The director, Robert Wiene, was heavily Influenced by expressionist artists such as those in the art movement called Die Brucke, an art movement which...' etc.
Your concluding sentence, 'This has allowed it to continue to be used today', would have been an opprtunity to mention a few of the films that 'Caligari' has influenced, such as the films of Tim Burton.
A good start though - looking forward to reading your next review!
