Critique Challenge Level 1










For the Critique Challenge assignment in Design Aesthetic course,i have to make an aesthetic evaluation upon animation video. The choosen animation is 'Hikayat Sang Kancil Dengan Monyet'.. The criterion has been set based on EMOTIVISM.. The criteria are i.e :

1.  Audiens should be amazed with the scenery of the animation for at least 5 minutes watching the     animation.

2.  Audiens should be touched with the friendship between the character instantly after watching the animation.

3.  Audiens should be annoyed with the manner of the monkey instantly when he disturb the tortoise and the mousedeer.

4.  Audiens should laugh and feel extremely funny until the end of the animation when reminds of the poor monkey.


   I have my own opinion when I say the audiens should amazed with the scenery of the animation. I dare to say that because although it just an animation,the animators and the developer of the animation have did a great job when they are making the background or the scenery of the animation. The scenery seem very beautiful,calm and looks very realistic. The sound of the jungle make the animation complete. I think everybody loves the calm condition and this animation will give us the feeling until the end of the story.

   After that,i say that the audiens should be touched with the friendship in the animation. We are human and we cannot escape from having friend,having relationship with each other and have strong bond with each other. In this animation,the creator of the animation have apply the human attitude and human feeling inside the non-human character. This can make us feel very attract to see it. We can see both mousedeer and tortoise are helping each other in whatever they do as a good friend.

   Third,the audiens should be annoyed with the manner of the monkey after watch the story. As we know that monkey is an active animal and sometimes it will disturb other animal. We can see the monkey have disturb the owl that is sleeping on the tree.  And the monkey also lying to the monkey and the tortoise that he  have'nt eat for 4 days. That is such a bad behaviour when we lie to other person.

   Lastly,audiens should laugh and feel funny when reminds of the monkey. That's because the foolishness of the monkey ; he even can't recognise the chillies and he eat it a lot.. And the consequence is he feel extremely hot and run away. Although we feel very pity of the monkey,we can still laugh when we recall the moment.

   Next,i have to make a judgement of my comrade's aesthetic evaluation. I have choosen to judge Nazrizam's criteria ( nazrizam1991.blogspot.com ) . He says that "Audience should be able to finish watching the animation from the beginning to the end voluntarily as compared to Hikayat Sang Kancil dan Monyet." I extremely agree with his opinion because of course we have to watch the animation from start to end in order to know the plot and what the story about. This because "Hikayat Sang Kancil dan Buaya" is more exciting to watch because Kancil must face the deadly predator,Buaya to cross the river. Kancil may die at that time but he use his intelligence to fool Buaya.

Last but not least,i also agree with his opinion which "Audience should be able to feel nostalgic to the extent that they remeber their old story as compared to Hikayat Sang Kancil dan Buaya" . this is because when we are in the kindergarten or in the primary school,,we always hear about the folk story and we still remember it until now. It is like a sweet memory to me.
Lastly,i want to judge my other comrade http://ewananimasi.blogspot.com/ . In his blog,he says that
"Audience would feel like to see this animation with great interest from beginning to end and feel like to see again and again." I dont feel like I agree with his opinion because I think that if we keep watch the same animation again and again,we might feel bored and we have know the next plot. This can make the suspense element will not emerge and we does'nt feel excited anymore.
