This week, I learned about animation in documentaries and manga based on real events.
In class, we watched several videos. One of them was The Sinking of the Lusitania by Winsor McCay. Even though it was in black and white, it showed a strong sense of scale. The sound in the video was also very interesting and made the work memorable.
From the examples we saw today, I noticed some similarities. Animation is often used as entertainment or as a way to give information to viewers. I felt that animations are made to explain things clearly and so that everyone can understand them easily.
However, like all media, we should be careful about how reliable the information is. With AI becoming more common, it is even more important to think carefully about this.
