Stop Motion Reflection

What is the narrative of your project? When is the moment of crisis?
The narrative of our project began with a guy reading a comic. A superhero and a villain come out of the comic and then fight and the superhero wins. Then it goes back to the guy reading the comic so it's like it happened in the comic and not in real life. The moment of crisis is the fight scene. 

How does the combination of imagery and music shape the mood and experience of the short film?
The imagery and music shape the mood to reflect either the intensity of the fight scene or the beginning of the movie where the guy is reading the comic. I could have chosen a bit more intense music to increase the tension of the fight but I think the mood was still reflected. 

What are the strengths of your project?
I think the strengths of the stop motion were the picture quality of the comic reading. There were also a few good photographic parts in the fight scene.

If you were to do another one, what would you do differently?
I would make the fight scene a lot longer and more intricate than it was and pick better music to reflect its intensity. I would also maybe cut down on the introduction like all the coffee drinking.
