Learning outcome 3: Be able to create a planned animation M3: Optimise the content for use in the final animation Low quality animation version  Evidence Low quality animation video  Evidence paragraph  This is the low quality version of my animation which i exported as a .mv4 file. This .mv4 file is the exact same as an .mp4 one, just different name as Apple calls it differently. This one is an example of a video and audio format which is great for storing such content, it saved my animation as a much smaller file size which is seen in the first screenshot. The format in that picture is in an Apple device one. This was done so that it can be played effectively and efficiently on more devices like an iPhone and an earlier style iPad. Since the file type is smaller it is better for these devices as they don't have as much space and memory as a larger one like a computer or TV and because of this, i saved the animation into a smaller file. This links to the compression...

Create and justify a planned animation (P5, P6)

Learning Outcome 3: Be able to create a planned animation P5: Create the content for the animation  Backplates This is the first backplate which will be seen in my animation, it is the background of most of my production and is quite simple yet effective as it easily suggests the characters Zoe and Hank are outside. I have not made any changes to this one. This is the backplate for my food stalls, the pizza and burger ones, as instructed in the brief, inside the animation should include some food stands which will be depicted here. I have adapted from the plain brick wall adding these two places where my characters pass to get to the march. This is a backplate in which half of the Leicester Square Station will be seen, this is because it indicates that this is where the march will take place without having to say it. Not only this, it is only half of the sign as the Lego characters will be walking below it. I have added the sign on top of the plain background. this will entert...

Learning Outcome 2: Be able to plan an animation to a client brief  P3: Develop concept ideas and sequence for an animation to meet a client brief  Mood board Sketches Storyboard Storyline Hank and Zoe begin walking towards each other, after not seeing each other since the last year they embrace and began moving towards the BrainGoo UK ZombieFest March. They began as normal people passing through shops and roads and as soon as they pass Leicester Square station they transform into zombie costumes. After this they enter the festival they pass street food stalls and autograph signings of B-movie stars as well as a live music band before reaching the Prince Charles Cinema. From here there is a banner telling them of the time and price of the Zombiethon movie marathon.

Analysis of existing animations (P1, P2, M1, D1)

Image
Learning Outcome 1: Understanding the types and uses of animations P1: Explain the different techniques for animation Claymation This technique is a form of animation where each piece, prop, character and background is made of a moveable substance, primarily plasticine clay allowing creators to make an animated TV show for example, Claymation is used to bring inanimate objects to life. The history of Claymation goes back to the early 19th century but there were some films shot in the 20th century using clay or plasticine. The Sculptor's Nightmare was the first ever Claymation which aired in 1908. This was in black and white and it wasn't very focussed, with the camera moving an inch or so per shot. This wasn't a good production and it was quite short. However, Claymation evolved over time creating really great, funny, in-colour animations which are longer and can be turned into TV series' or films like for example, Wallace and Gromit, this is a British Claymation animat...
