... clues of what you think the film was about, what themes did it touch upon, was there a metaphor present?

# data[].attributes.body
... how the story is communicated through timing and pacing of shots, was it fast paced, slow paced or did it vary, when did it vary, and why?

# data[].attributes.body
... how the visual design, colour palette, background design, sound, enhance the storytelling. Additionally, how were the personalities of the characters revealed through the choices brought to the animated performances?

# data[].attributes.body
The background is left white and barren which makes it look very empty, drawing the main focus to the objects in the foreground of the shot. which are the (colourful) objects, it also helps the words stand out.

The background is simple since there is so much happening in the foreground which enables our eyes to focus on the movement of the story instead of getting distracted and wondering.

# data[].attributes.body
Each shot is at a wide, showing an empty white void as the two eccentric characters blend well with the mismatch array of objects. There is a lot of negative space and although empty, the personality personification sound effects and two mischievous main characters fill this void.

Although both characters may seem similar in aspects, one is depicted as smarter, the rectangular design depicting a clever wit and head headed/stubborn whereas the other robot is rounded in design, softer, scatter-brained and tends to follow what the other is doing but equally going along with the other robot in a sync and as judgemental at first of the child, who does not fit into the stylisation of the robots by any means. There is a sweet bond between the two and their personality traits compliment each other nicely and can be seen as either a sibling kind of bond or very good friends with how loyal they are to each other. The smarter one allows the softer one to lead and completes their "sentences" near the beginning which shows this slight personality difference between them. This narrative is flipped as the smarter of the two "dies" at the end and the other is left to close their eyes in fear. However, the softer of the two jumps after them, proving both their loyalty to each other and the follower archetype mentioned previously.

The pacing of each shot at beginning was slow and long one takes to deliver the basic concepts of the two characters, who communicate with noises, the shots include inanimate objects that produce noise as it enters a chain of domino effect, but are perceived as words and sentences for the robots, . Until the scene introduces a new character who can speak vocally, where the shots get static with a few close up shots. The shots slightly vary into a faster pace as it enters a montage of when the robots move objects around to form a sentence.

Language Bias/Language Policing

Throughout the film the robots display negative reactions towards the human childs language (which appears to be different to the robot language)

# data[].attributes.body
The story uses fast close cuts combined with wider shots to convey a sense of urgency or chaos. These shots jump between each other which doesn't let the viewer to establish their view of the shot well due to it's pace, promoting a sense of speed and chaos as the robots move erratically. This is can be seen near the climax of the robots falling off of the platform.

This is in contrast to the slower shots after the climax which lingers on the robots, and the landscape as a whole to establish their deaths and to perhaps communicate it's severity.

The use of foley is evident through the several sound effects used throughout. The sound effects however are not completely accurate to each object which is interesting. However, the sound paired with the objects is a vital part of the short film as it gives life to the words as well as giving emphasis to the objects themselves. The audio is also the most important part of the short film.

# data[].attributes.body
The robots are represented as inseparable individuals. If one dies, the other must face the same fate. Maybe they are the only ones of their kind or community.

# data[].attributes.body
When the characters establish the reasoning of the sound effects, the pace gets rapidly faster than the slow beginning. As the three characters bounce ideas off each other, their bond grows and the story is shown at a quicker pace, revealing all the inventions and sentences they created.

# data[].attributes.body
One possible interpretation is that if the child is speaking the same language as the robots that they are policing what they consider to be negative or unacceptable language. Across all languages cultures and society's police language based upon what is deemed socially acceptable.

plain white background brings more atention to the objects. white background and white robots feel sterile/boring in contrast to the chaos the kid brings to everything. the robots are completly sterile looking (minimal colour) till the kid shows up and they all start being chaotic which is when the robots get accesorys to add more colour to them.

robots like things done how they know and seem freeked out by the kid talking/comunicating how theyre not used to.

the words being writen on screen makes the audio less clutterd while showing how loud and chaotic some noise can be (like when theyre carying things out/rumaging around things), mixing the audio and writen versons is a fun visual thing to do aswell.

the robots seemed realy close (probibly bicos theyre the only 2 that are around to comunicate with eachother) wich is probibly partialy why they were trying to teach the kid how to comunicate with them how they do. at the end when the kids sneezing causes them to panic due to the language barier bitween the 3 and one of the robots bumped intot the other causing it to fall and die, the robot seemed like it couldnt be without the other robot so jumped off aswell.

the personality of the kid seems like they want to please the robots so when they both died at the end bicos of the kid, they tried to apologise. the change from cautius/wanting to make the robots happy to happy to alone and grieving/guilty is alot of change.

the colour of the kid and objects are a huge contrast to the blank and bright white background and robots. the colour of the kid and the objects stand out alot from the background and robots bicos the kid and objects are less saturated/bright colours where the robots and background are bright and high saturation. this gives alot of contrast to how much of an outsider the kid and objects are in the robots 'world' by making that so clearly obvius even if youre not realy paying atention to it.

A metaphor to explain some intolerance when some individuals are exposed to different culture, ways of living, or social norms.

Moreover, it also shows the robots' inability to process and appreciate the little boy's way of communication.

What Happened:

Two robots who communicate in sounds were creating sentences through creating a domino effect of sounds. A child joined them however, he can't speak to them it's implied that the pitch of his voice is too high for the robots and it hurt their ears, so the child learnt and communicated with them in their language. Lastly, after spending time with the robots the child sneezes multiple times which is a sound that means fire to the robots and they panic, one of the robots slips and falls but is caught by the other robot however the child notices what happens and panics and speaks for getting what will happen he realises straight away but its too late and the robot lets go of the other to cover their ears and one of the robot dies, the other robot without hesitation also jumps and dies leaving the child alone.

Who was in the film:

There was three characters, The child and the two robots (blue eyes and green eyes)

Where was the film:

The film was set in an open space in a grey environment although it's an empty place they still have props/objects that they use to make sounds to communicate. It is very confusing because the place is very open and flat with just a few structures around like the ramp we see at the end and a tower in the background, however we have no other information on where it is set. It feel like it is set in the backrooms or something.

Throughout the short, the robots have been shown to understand each other, which is confusing at first because even when their language is translated, it doesn't make much sense and comes out as gibberish. This is actually a metaphor that they do not need words to understand each other. They use their (metaphorical) hearts to convey emotions without a use for simple literacy. When the boy joins the picture it throws everything off balance. Suddenly the robots have a new issue with trying to figure out how they can communicate with the boy because children speaking damages them. They seem successful at first, until it isn't. The child ends up becoming a murderer at the end of the film, and the other robot, which possibly could be the last one left in the world, cannot endure it anymore. In their last act of freedom, they decide to take their own life. What's beautiful about this scene is how the robot doesn't even communicate at all with the boy. They do not blame them, they only wish to join their loved one in the robo-afterlife. Perhaps as a punishment to the boy, he is now trapped in endless white space for all of eternity. Forevermore trying to understand a language that he cannot comprehend

Robots do not understand pain the same way a human does.

The final shot is the camera panning down revealing the child sitting alone, playing with his last creation. The slow pacing indicates the excitement has passed and the story has come to an end.

# data[].attributes.body
the personality of both robots shows that they quite extreme and work together orderly to communicate the sound or wave length that they understand and convert it into pop-up texts. Moreover, both robots seem to have deep siblings kind of bond as well so it leads to one robot unalive itself after another one broken from falling.

# data[].attributes.body
Languages can differ in small or dramatic ways which can increase the difficulty in communication across language barriers. Whilst Human language generally features complex, Phonemes Morphemes, Lexemes, Syntax and Contexts, one or more of these may not be present in another language.

The language of the robots may feature only a few of these components of language, or new components making the language incompatible with the human language.

i love it

Also we notice the kid is left alone at the end like he can't go anywhere else and the sounds from the train track say "Robots", "Funny", "Pudding", "Sorry", "Goodbye", this seems like the kids feels guilty if he made the train track as he probably knew the words the sounds were making
