Design Principles and Practice Assignment - Quarterly Worksheet

1) "There is no movie musical more fun than "Singin' in the Rain," and few that remain as fresh over the years." Did you like Singin' In the Rain? Do you agree that it has aged well? Why/why not?

2) "If Anderson buries relatively little moral substance under lavish dollops of rich cream, at least he, like his fascinating protagonist, sustains the illusion with a marvelous grace." To what extent do you agree with this assessment of The Grand Budapest Hotel? Is it a case of visual style over narrative substance?

3) The following is an extract from an article on sound design in animated film. In no more than ONE sentence, paraphrase the key points. Consider whether you will need to include an in-text citation.

"Sound sells the reality of an animation to its audience, encouraging viewers to invest in the onscreen events. In an animated film, the audio operates like an echo of the physical world in an otherwise constructed landscape. The sonic space may be highly referential, resembling the sound of the natural world, or it might be 'hermetic' (Whitehead, 2002: 149), sonically detached from the natural world with its own self-contained conditions."

Taberham, P. (2018). A General Aesthetics of American Animation Sound Design. Animation, 13(2), 131-147.
