Critique Challenge ( Assignment 2 )

The chosen animation for this aesthetic evaluation is Larva. One criterion has been set based on objectivism, i.e, logical thinking, the understanding of the animation, the moral value and happy ending. Audience must have higher logical thinking while watching the video voluntarily. This is because animation can give a big influence to our thinking especially children. They will think all the behavior that were shown in video are true and it will be followed by them. Audience also should understand what they are watching the whole of animation from the beginning to the end during leisure time. The understanding of the audience in a story is important because when they feel tired of the story they will quickly move on another story. Then, each animation must have a moral value at the end of the story so the audience can effectively emulate. For me, this is the importing part while making the video because it will affect the whole story. Next, audience must be excited if the animation that you watch has a happy ending when tea time. Everyone will be hoping there is a good ending in a story that we watch. Usually the good story is when at the end we can get expecting ending without any misleading. Based on this Larva animation, I can say that most of my chosen criteria are achieve the goal of aesthetic evaluation. But, there still a few thing that we can improved the animation especially at the end of the animation, audience still difficult to understand what is trying to convey by the director.

My friend and I already have been set our own criteria. Firstly, Noor Baizura has set four criteria, there is smile, sadly, loving and friendly.  Secondly, Hazleen Anylia has set crying, sympathy, laugh and happy. Then, Nurul Farhana has set the criteria is nationalism, loving, helping and the last criteria is beauty. Among all of my group mates, there are no similarities between my criteria with others group members. What I can see in this discussion, everyone have their own perception about how to evaluate the animation. For different people, we have a different opinion. For example, we choose the same animation, the animation is Larva, but we have chosen different criteria to evaluate the video of the animation from our own perspective. What we can see in this discussion, we have been take decision that, we take the best two criteria from each other. The criterion that we choose is appropriate with the evaluation concept. The criteria from Noor Baizura are friendly and loving. Secondly, for Hazleen Anylia we chose sympathy and happy criteria. Then, from Nurul Farhana the criteria that are we had chosen are nationalism and beauty and lastly from myself, I choose the logical thinking and moral value criteria. This criterion, we used to evaluate the animation video of Larva.

            In conclusion, the evaluation concept, there are four type of evaluation, firstly subjectivism, secondly objectivism, then relativism and lastly is emotivism. From this discussion and judgments, everyone had chosen one and after that, we set the criteria.  Everyone have their own criteria to evaluate the animation. Lastly, we decide to choose eight the best criteria. We hope criteria will help us to evaluate the animation. No one can’t say disagree to take criteria that we chosen because everybody have their own opinion and perception.
