Oh here comes the latest episode of skip beat episode 17 that all skip beat fans have long waited for.I decided to make this episode for post as there are so many things to talk about regarding how the video clip is portrayed to us as audience. As u can see in the picture, one can feel the aura of the scene without the artist translating it out in verbal form.
In the far back background (picture 1) there are flames scorching fiercely to emphasize the mood in that particular scene. It represents anger, hatred, fury etc. showing that Kyoko, the main character (the woman) is in a fits of bursting out in anger. Just in front of the background there’s a purplish and pink lining around the character, which is the aura of the character. The ominous color and the irregular shape of the aura show the killing/sinister/mysterious intention of Kyoko. However, the opposite is shown in the other background (picture 2). As it is sunny, it shows the sort of ambience of a sunshine girl (a girl who is forever happy with no worries or sadness). Hence concluding that have a different background can mean a different set of emotions of the anime character.
Next we focus move to the centre of the pictures, the posture. In picture 1, the posture of Kyoko shows that she is frustrated and do not want to be disturbed by anyone. With her left arm beside her body shows that she is trying her best to remain calm, however her right hand shows that the limit was up n was trying to elbow the devil away who was bugging her. In picture 2 shows the snapping of finger pose, showing carefree emotion, opposite from picture 1.
Moving along, a slight drift from the centre, we look at the calafares in the pictures, the devil and the flower. In picture 1, the devils represent sinister and evil thoughts and also part the color given to the devil contributed to the sinister feeling. In picture 2 however, shows a flower barb, shows a young innocent thought of Kyoko. The bright colors given to the flower further emphasize the innocence in Kyoko.
Lastly, we focus on the eyes. If you watch anime or have a background in art, one can tell from the drawing and shading of the eyes, the degree of the emotion the character portrays. In picture 1, the dark sharp patch for eyes resembles a black goggles as thought it was mean to cover up the eyes giving it sinister feeling. The shading at the side of the face shows darkness within filled with hatred and killing intentions. In picture 2 however, shows the kawaii type of eyes, the happy “n” shape eyes. Thus shading and shape of the eyes is the main give away on the feelings projected out from the characters especially characters in Japanese anime.

mans, i hate people being late. many a times, i do fall victim to being late. guess i must be more punctual as well. being sensitive to the person waiting for you is very important. since you are already in the wrong, there ought to be a sincere apology and explain if necessary. the actions, facial appearances must be watched carefully to assess the other party's mood, lest he snaps when you say something wrong.
in this fast paced society, time is precious. time is money. we have to be true to our word and reach places on time.
hmmm. i wonder wad kinda project is this??haha but being sensitive is important! Don't take your friends for granted or u will regret someday!
animes always do an awesome job making use of facial expressions. music, and body language. you dont even need conversations, you can just tell what's going on.
Although we Singaporeans emphasize so much on punctuality, many a times we succumb to perpetual delays. We plan ahead, but not taking anomalies into consideration. There can be plenty of reasons for being late and some are perfect examples of circumstantial influences, like traffic accidents etc. Never should people try to appease the other party, doing what is portrayed in the second picture, when they are not on time.
Speaking of being late. None of my friends are punctual. They are usually late for 10-20mins. On some occasions, they will be late for more than an hour. They're just taking my punctuality for granted. There was once when my friend was late for 45 mins. I simply switched off my handphone and took the bus home. I remained uncontactable for the rest of the day. I take it as payback for their lateness.
exaggerated expressions in animes shows us the lighter side of things and in some ways, achieve certain effects of awe or humor.
