Poetry sound stuff

And I forgot to metion that the third sound should be recorded at a port maybe Walberswick or Cromer, the fourth sound can be recorded anywhere, maybe with people wandering around in the background to make it more natural, and the fith sound should be recorded on a cliff, again, maybe Walberswick or Cornwall.

Break, Break, Break By Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.


O well for the fisherman's boy,
That he shouts with his sister at play!
O well for the sailor lad,
That he sings in his boat on the bay!


And the stately ships go on
To their haven under the hill;
But O for the touch of a vanish'd hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still!


Break, break, break,
At the foot of thy crags, O Sea!
But the tender grace of a day that is dead
Will never come back to me.

The poem is based on the death of his friend and fellow poet Arthur Hallum, his is displaying his grief in an almost lyrical way. Sometimes an art form is the best way to get other such a loss. This peom has a sad yet serene atmosphere to it. I think this because when I read it I can understand and pick up on his misery but I can also detect that he has accepted the fact that what's done is done and cannot be changed.

Creature comforts

My thoughts on creature comforts and other infomation on the series, film and advertisements

I think, personally, that creature comforts campaign was a success because the animals seem like the general public and they ask them everyday questions and they get everyday answers. But it is also witty and different.

The creator of Aardman Animations film Creature Comforts has revealed Bristol Zoo and veteran TV zookeeper Johnny Morris inspired him. Nick Park said the way the former Animal Magic presenter did his "funny voices,” for the animals was the start of it." That probably unconsciously inspired me. It really put Bristol Zoo on the map," he said.

Nick Park was responsible for the short film. And Nick Park, Phil Rylance and Paul Cardwell made the advertisements.It was produced as part of a series called Lip Synch for Channel 4 and The creative team of advertising agency GGK comissioned the advertisement itself.

Unfortunately I cannot remember any of the names, because it was such along time ago that I watched it, but I do remember a spider in one of the episodes but that’s all I can recall.

These are the main reasons why these advertisements were such a success

• Juxtaposition of real-life dialogue and animated creatures.
• The characters' dialogue was obtained by taking tape recordings of everyday people talking about the comfort and benefits of the electrical appliances in their homes and then using extracts of these – complete with pauses, false starts, repetitions, hesitations and unscripted use of language
• Many commentators believe that there was a fundamental shift in television advertising from the unbridled consumerism and egoism of the 1980s to what is sometimes termed a more "caring" approach in the 1990s. The Creature Comforts advertisements are cited as an early example of this phenomenon.
• It was based on a already award winning film.
• "The power of a campaign which can make consumers feel warm towards a utility can’t be underestimated".
• Regional dialogue and the fact that they used the publics voices and that made the electrical company seem safe, reliable, regional and made it seem that they did care about their opinions and didn't just want their money.

Although it was not the first ever animated advertisement, this one worked particularly well due to the reasons stated above but the others worked well such as; Toucan sam and the Trix rabbit.

My research homework on Tony Hart

Morphing means to change shape in an animation.
Tony Hart was born on 15 October 1925 and, unfortunately, died on 18 January 2009. Tony's first job into the televsion broadcast work was in 1952, when his brother persuaded him to to attend a party where he met and BBC childrens TV producer. After an interview, in which Hart drew a fish on a napkin while the producer was looking for paper, Hart became resident artist on the saturday special programme. He created morph in the beginning of 1977, which appeared on a few of his UK TV programmes, notably, Take hart and hartbeat. Tony Hart was a pioneering artist, he inspired children to draw and paint and he was a just as good as TV presenter as well.

Morph video review

I made a six second Morph video of a plant-like berry thing and it 'blossoms' into a snake. I think personally this vidoe could of been better, I could of put more effort into the writhing movements of the snake and made the berry look more realistic and in general I could of just put more effort and more detail into the video as whole. The only good thing I can say about this video is the snake. That is the elenment of detail and the amount of effort I put into it made me tired. I used, again, stop motion pro V7 and yet again the steps I took to make and upload the video were the same. So inconclusion I could of put more effort into this. By the way that is a poor picture of my snake.

These are my mind map and exposure sheets

This is my snake to berry vine thingy morph video...yeah....
