Heather's Final Project

My video, “More than passing notes” is a combination of new ideas with elements from two previous projects. I wanted to work with my last video “Passing Notes” because I thought it had a lot of potential, and I decided to mix it with my stop-animation project that used scrabble letters. I chose stop animation with my video because I thought that in this case, it especially helped enhance the mysterious and scary parts. I tried to make my video have a creepy feeling to it, and thought I could achieve this by having allusive scrabble words appear throughout the video. I didn’t want the viewer to form a concrete opinion on what they were watching, but rather to be puzzled and form their own thoughts on what was going on. I watched “Passing Notes” many times in order to pinpoint what worked in it and what I thought had to be changed. I think that this video captures what I was trying to achieve in my previous version and in doing so it became a very different work.
