The story revolves around a girl who's lost her mother and is now living with her father and step mum. The girl has "powers" that she doesn't know how to control and just wants things to go back to the way they were. By the end of the story, she doesn't get her family back but she fights back against her oppressors and learns to make peace with her past and moves forward, free from any constraints whilst clinging to the last remnants of her family.

*Can you please put the story line here for the 1st creative story*

- They were very interested to see where the animation would go because we could only show our peers the starting 30 seconds of the video.
- They liked that we incorporated both dance and animation into our creative response as they felt as though it could connect with a broader audience and show a deeper level of understanding in two different ways.
- They didn't get the connection between our stimulus "From Little Things Big Things Grow" with our creative response as they couldn't quite grasp our connection with the story until we told them our initial ideas.
- As a collective, we definitely need clarity in our concept as over the past couple of weeks we have started to lose the essence of the political aspect of the song.

-The practioners were attempting to tell the story of the Gurindji people and the historical and cultural story behind the Aboriginal Land Rights Movement in 1966.

- It was created to raise awareness to this issue for future generations to realise what the Aboriginals had gone through

- Well after nearly 25 years of the production of the song I is still remembered to this day as the chorus has been reprived in many advertisements to this day; which keeps the song and story alive. Also, its lyrics and purpose are studied in schools as it discusses the vitality of it in shaping Australia’s culture much alike how Martin Luther King Jr shaped the African American culture. This has been seen as Australian’s equivalent.

- It remained at a constant tempo throughtout the whole song; like a slow walking pace

- It has a 4 note chord progression; C Am Em G

- Has a very repetitive tune

-The lyrics tell a story of a historical event

-Australian Country style music; use of guitars, didgeridoo, harmonica, banjo

-8 years later, in 1975 the Prime Minister returned the land rights to the Aboriginals by pouring sand into Vincent’s hands representing the return of the Earth to them.

- This song was used as a device to let the public and future generations know of the Aboriginal Land Rights’ Movement which assisted in shaping Austrlain history and culture today.

- The song inspired other works by an Aboriginal Artist called Archie Roach & Sara Storer who began to write and perform songs about the Australian land, Stolen Generation and the mistreatment of Aboriginals.

- This song tells the story of the Indigenous Land Rights Movement in 1966

- It mimics the true story of the man Vincent Lingiari (who is mentioned name for name throughout this song) who finally stood up to the cattle farmers that were exploiting the aboriginal workers by either paying them miniscule amounts or nothing at all; all whilst using the Aboriginals’ land

- So, this song describes the circumstances in which they were in and how this man led a strike for all the cattle workers to not get a pay rise but to get get their land back

- It is approximately 6 minutes and 30 seconds in length which is almost double a regular pop song as heard on today’s radio

- It had 11 verses

- The tone was quite neutral as the verses notes remained the same throughout. It was more speak-singing which gave it that neutral tone.
