Third Year Stop Motion

In my third year class this week we've been looking at some aspects of fictional writing. The key concepts that we have been particularly looking at were:

1. Conflict
2. Denouement
3. Freeze Frame

To finish the section we decided to make a short stop motion video. We used Lego Movie Maker for iPad to make the video. The controls were really simple to use and it has a feature to directly upload to YouTube. I think we'll definitely be using it again for other projects during the year.  Here it is!

Q. Explain any two terms that are clearly seen in the video.

1. Conflict
2. Denouement
3. Freeze Frame

Molly answered:

Conflict is seen in the stop motion when the two drivers step out of their cars after the crash happens. The two cars collide and both drivers emerge from their cars to confront each other. The driver who was the 'victim' in this case becomes infuriated and reacts to the whole situation by punching the driver who caused the accident. This was probably the worst thing the driver could have done because instead of having the police solve the issue, and have the driver at fault given the correct punishment, the innocent driver is now punished because of how she reacted to the whole situation. She ends up in jail even though this whole incident wasn't her fault.

Denouement is seen in the stop motion when the two drivers receive their punishments. The outcomes of this event are not what I would have originally thought.The driver who caused the accident seems to have been left off easily compared to the innocent driver, who ends up in jail because she punched the other woman. We don't exactly see what happens to the driver at fault but I'm assuming it's not half as bad as what the initially impeccant driver received.

Home creations!
