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.

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.

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. Continuing on they find the ZombieFest March finding themselves amongst other zombie lovers who all share the same excitement parading in Central London.
