Play Research - Twister

Twister

How do you know how to play?

I think everyone playing had played the game when we were younger, and the rules are simple. You spin the dial and whichever the dial lands on, the person who's turn it is, must place their body part on the colour chosen.

 

What causes tension in this game?

Tension is caused as you want to know what the dial will land on when it is your turn. Once you are into the game, it gets much more difficult as it is harder to get into certain positions, especially when others players are on the mat. Tension is also caused when you have to wait in the position you are in, until your next turn.

How do you assess how you are doing? Do you get feedback?

You assess your performance, knowing how comfortable you are in the position you are having to hold until your next turn. Also once a player falls, they are out of the game, so seeing how many players are left in the game is another way you can assess how well you are playing. You can get feedback from other players telling you where there is any space for you to move.

Animation

In Digital Media Tools, we were to make our first animations on the course, and this is what me and Megan produced.

Six Sequence Story

For this task, we had to create a narrative sequence story using six images. The images had to tell the story of either of these things: a day in the life, running late or a complete surprise. I worked with Megan on this task and we came up with the story of 'The Day in the Life of a teddy bear', which we kind of based our story around the Disney Pixar film, T'oy Story'. Our first image was the bear being hugged by their owner, showing they have contact with humans. The next four images were of the bear doing tasks while their owner had gone. They were tasks such as showering, drinking tea, and to add some humour we took photos of the bear online on Build-a-Bear workshop and reading Heat’s Torso of the week. Finally the last image was of the owner coming back in and the bear looking surprised and worried.
