Week 6 - Lip Syncing and Language

In today's lesson we began by looking at lip syncing.

We watched 'Your Face' by Bill Plympton. 
and 'The do-it-yourself cartoon kit' - clip by Bob GodfreyBoth have different types of lip syncing but the voice belongs to a character which we as the audience can link.

We then watched some of 'Percepolis' we watched it firstly in French the original language, then we watched the dubbed version in English. As a class we discussed how the language affected it and then individually we wrote a paragraph explaining which version we preferred and why. I have watched many films dubbed and in the original language with subtitles and i always prefer the original version better. This is the same for Percepolis, i felt the french version was much better as it had more emotion in it. Although i couldn't understand all of it because of the language barrier i could figure out what was going on from the way they saying words, the music and overall sound.
