Blog Eight: Content of the Form

What struck me most about A Little Atomic Bomb was how the narrator's voice was slow and rhythmic, like someone who had been through war and was now weary of it. I think it fit well with what the poem was about.

What also stuck out was the graphics and the text- they fit the voice. The motion wasn't too quick - it flows. There are some parts where its faster than others, much like the speech patterns of the narrator. I also noticed that the images were somewhat grainy - to represent something historical. The text was like handwriting, and the images were like silhouettes.

What Barry Says, on the other hand, moved through a lot quicker. The voice as well as the motion were faster than the previous clip. The colors used mostly are red, black, and white - also representing something historical but the motion of the graphics as well as the text represented a more futuristic theme. It seems a lot like something you might see on the news, especially with the music in the background.

Overall, the content and the form fit really well for both clips.
