The Flash file for Assignment 3 can be found here.
My initial concept for this poem was to have a small person formed of the words, which can be viewed here. This became problematic for me in the final version because I felt that the words wouldn’t be viewable or have the same impact if crushed into the constraints of a single scene in Flash. I decided to experiment with the idea of spreading each word or group of words in their own scene, giving me the space to branch out and try to represent each word with a series of movements I felt that were associated with the word. I revised the end of the poem from the mockup to the final version because I wanted to leave less closure (perhaps for a more open interpretation) and be less ominous with the poem’s intent. I did decided to leave the text as black and white for the final version to perhaps emphasize each word as if it were a command, but I did make “Enjoy it!” colorful to provide a bit of festivity, coinciding with the phrase’s meaning.
It’s been years since I’ve used Flash (and even then, it was rather basic - I had to relearn the entirety of the program for this assignment). Even then, I enjoyed this assignment and I hope I conveyed my message as well as I intended.
