The animation Shopping Trip is 3 minutes long. During lockdown a man goes to the shops during the current pandemic. The animation has no talking just illustrations and intense audio. The animation is in black and white, the only colour which is president is the colour of the street lights. The black and white could be a sign of how all the joy was taken out of the world during the current pandemic and how the situation is. Demonstrating the new normal for 2020. The animation showing the new normal and how it is a dark and isolated trip to the shop which is the reality of this year. I like how it is demonstrating the new normal in the black and white since it separates it from the coloured ones. It shows how dark and lonely this time can be. This animation in my opinion shows how powerful something like that can be during this time.

The animation Losing Pace is 3 minutes long. It is a pencil based drawing style with animation. The drawings are simple and effective, meaning they are not overwhelming. It uses light and shadows to build the story effectively and the time of the day. It is about the undermining black people, the idea of black lives matter and their rights. The inequality between the races. It is a real world problem and this short animation shows the inequality which still happens till this day, it is just a sad sight to see. Run ins with the police can ruin a persons whole life. This is what this animation demonstrates.

The short film was based on a party, which goes boring and then a game of werewolf starts. The film is 10 minutes long. The use of different angles and shots. Such as over the shoulder and a wide shot, helps the flow of the story. The shots and angles make everything more interesting. The use of the lighting in a certain scene makes it film like a horror film, the thunder and lightning sounds help build the narrative and the horror atmosphere. It has a comedic aspect which makes it entertaining to watch, although it has stereotypical story line of game gone wrong with friends. Meaning the sudden light cut going to back screen and a friend gone missing. The ending leaves a cliffhanger, what will happen next did he character die? That question stays open.

The animation was about the connection of two men, throughout the years. Making sure that they are all good and healthy. Leaving one of them in hospital dying. The illustrations were very powerful and emotionally touching. The animation was 5 minutes long. The animation had a clear story, with a touching story. The idea was a lesson a father taught his keeping bonds with your friends. Making sure you strive to be the best person. I think this animation is very fitting due to the current situation, since we are losing contact and people. The animation touched me, especially since it was made dedicated to the creators dad and his friend who passed.
