Day 5. unintended.

Today, half of the class just had to show up. People from Groups 1, 3 and 5. We had to show Alan our Learning Contract, and he came over to our group (group 1) first. Everybody got to see my Learning Contract. A few of us got the "Primary Aim" part of our Learning Contract wrong. I thought that we had to answer that in accordance to the primary aim of why we are making the animation.

I have to remember a few good pointers that Alan mentioned as we discussed today. The discussion also helped me decide what I really wanted to show in my animation, the sequence of the story and from who's prespective it will be shown. All of the questions I answered the other day will change.

My build up would have to be super important as the audience would have to, at the same time, feel the gross-ness of the situation and feel the urgency of the situation to the point that David had to eat his shorts.

From the beginning, once I found my story, I wanted David to be the Main Character, you will see the story from his perspective. Alan suggested I have the story told from the Cop's point of view; after understanding the reason a bit more, I agree. Since I want a grossed out reaction from the audience, the easiest way to achieve this is by getting the audience to empathize with the Main Character. In this case, the cop gets the worst outcome from this whole situation. Though it was not stated in the papers, you can just imagine the cop picking up the underwear and discovering some in David's mouth.

Righto, back to work.
