More Development

I put a lot more detailed thought into this shoot, including what clothes Josie was wearing, the framing of the images and every action made. However, I did not realize that my images were out of focus, so looks like I'll have to do another shoot to make it better. The music here I think suits the stop motion more than in my previous development because of it mundane and repetitive nature, similar to eating an apple. Chloe was unable to do another shoot due to her own commitments, thankfully Josie was happy to help.

This is some pseudo code I came up with to help explain the application:

Int apple = whole apple;

While(apple = exists){

Take (a bite);

Apple – one bite;

}

Draft of description:

At the beginning of the clip it has an apple already sitting on the table in low lighting, this shows the sketch existing, but not open, and that the main part of the code, as well as the clip, is the apple. As the lights turn on this represents someone opening the sketch, though also serves as a good introduction to the clip. Josie then walks into the frame to show the computer running through the set up stages of the code. She is dressed like an art critic to represent the computer as the analyzer of the code, she picks up the apple and assess whether or not the apple exists (the ‘while’ statement). When she confirms the while statement works she smiles, from here she runs through the rest of the commands of taking a bite of the apple, it then reduces the apple by one bite. Josie then stands up and walks around to show the computer running through the rest of the code. The action is repeated again and again to show the computer running over the whole code again and again, the only thing that is changing is the size of the apple because of what the loop is doing. At the end of the clip Josie goes to assess the apple but it no longer exists, so she frowns showing that she cannot run through the loop, then gets up and walks off to represent the apple exiting the loop. The music in the background is repetitive day time music to emphasize the repetitive nature of a loop and  the everyday action of eating an apple.
