My Final Piece

(the video quality is not very good on this website, just note that the

actual video has good and clear quality)

My animation is about Remembrance Day and more specifically the poem 'In Flanders Field', it is also in the James bond opening credits layout and theme. In my animation poppies are used and shown alot as they are the symbol of remembrance for soldiers. As the poppies are such a big symbol, they were the only colour in the animation. Everything else was black and white apart from the poppies which were red. I did this to show what the main theme of the animation was. I also used the item from Pitt Rivers which started my journey to my final piece which is the 'Uzi Sub-Machine Gun'. I also created and used a Black and White silhouette of a world war two soldier in the animation as the poem was written in that time. Also the world war two soldier "look" is one of the things that pop up in my mind as a symbol of war. I used the world war two soldier throughout a lot of the animation. As the poem 'In Flanders Fields' was the main theme, i put each line in the animation with the stanzas they were in. Lastly i used the song '21 Guns' by the band Green Day. I used this song because it seemed to show and reflect the them of the animation very well.
