(B3) Concrete Poetry: Figuring Out Animations

- Wanting to develop a scrolling effect that is animated.
- Feel as though this is where the interest and difference comes from.

Having the text laid out in this way so it can scroll annd appear as the reader goes along.
- Feels like a more natural way where the reader can see the text at their own pace.

Would want to have more animation were there text appears as the audience is scrolling, this was could have more of an impact on the experience the reader had and how they read the text. 

1. Animated version playing with arrangement of text:

- Works really well, helps to see it functioning, but how could this look with more animations? 
- Not able at animate scrolling features on adobe XD so would need to do these in after effects.

2. 

- Here the text was animating how I would like it to, but there is something that feels quite like a powerpoint about it. 

- Feel there are other ways to achieve the outcome I'd like that look better.

Moving slowly due to animating skills being poor. 
- Need to make wire frames of what the text should do and then try animate these. 

3. 

Having there be the horizontal scrolling effect to the work, so the audience would need to move their mouse to the right hand side of the screen to see what's next.

Separated out the 'a' to present a sense of that sound being exaggerated.
- Not a fan of how it looks, feels like something from a telecom that you have to read off.
- Feels more stressful with this type of animation than previous styles.

Experiencing all these methods, number 1 felt the most appropriate, the audience can direct the pace but the text also helps this.
Issue with 2 and 3 is that the pace gets overwhelmed by the animations so the layout of the text has little impact.

NEED TO EXPERIMENT!!!!

> Develop a key
> Add in colour
> Play with type

Adding in shapes for the sounds:

Changed the typeface to a less traditional appearance, feels like the poem has a new tone now.

- Animate

- Really like the way it looks, should listen to poem again and note down shapes or symbols from the sounds and add these in.

Sounds noted after listening through again.
- These could develop into symbols
- Could be used to alter the text
- Thinking along the lines of a visual music score for speech.

Shapes hand drawn and done on illustrator^

Adding in the shapes and changing letters to those shapes then animating:

Feel as though this typeface is more aggressive and , the overall tone of the poem is much calmer and feels playful but sophisticated.
Then at the end the tone changes to be much more solemn, wanting to showcase this with the type.

Here altering the orientation of the type in a serif typeface, feel it presents a calm nature.
Looks too serious, the type isn't presenting the playfulness as well.
