Animated Poetry Analysis

The name of the poem i picked for my analysis is called minimalism. the animation done to it is kinetic typography, done in adobe after effects. the poem is about a painting that is only a white canvas, with a small black dot on it. the narrator is talking about the painting and how he doesn't think it is real art, when a janitor comes by and helps him understand the painting.

       The design in this video was a little sloppy, at times the text is over top of other text and it makes it hard to read. They also use multiple fonts at once which sometimes looks good, but in this case in some parts of the video it looks messy. There are no colors in this video other than; black, and white. the black and white goes along with the poem, which is about a white painting that has a black dot on it. The words of the first 70% percent of the poem form a black dot, that you see when it zooms out.

  

      The only audio you hear in the video is the narrator reading out the poem along with the text. the low mellow voice of the narrator went along well with the story.

      The timing of the video fluctuates throughout the video depending on what is happening during that moment in the poem. at times the voice goes too fast for the text and, you cant read what the text says because it goes by so quickly, but it goes well with the story.

     Overall I really like the poem, and I kind of like the animation that goes along with it. the poem is very creative, and i thought a bit clever. the animation was okay but could have used a little cleaning up.
