Arielle's villain and hero critic


Arielle’s hero/villain animation I couldn’t watch, the video wasn’t working for me, however Stevie’s animation from my interpretation made the superhero kind of clumsy and shows how he transforms into the superhero, then back to his nerd form and walks away. From the drawings, the football player and the nerd contrast in color. The hero is in white and while the Red Bullet was in brighter in color but darker in the type of color used. The Red Bullet also uses more saturated colors than the hero Stevie. The red and black colors that are used for the Red Bullet separates him from the white and black hero actively because red and black are colors used more for violence or to view someone as evil or bad, where as white seems more of an innocent color. This informs the viewer of who is the villain and who is the superhero. Another contrast between these two characters is their shape, the Red Bullet is very muscular and squared faced, to give him the extra strong and bully look, whereas, the superhero Stevie is a rounder face, showing that he is the kind and hero type of character. The hues of these two characters are the white and black for Stevie and the red and black for Red Bullet, which as stated earlier, is there to symbolize the villain and the superhero. Overall I think the villain and superhero animation idea was interesting and was well thought out. Everyone likes the stories of where the nerd defeats the bullies.
