Create and justify a planned animation

P6: Complete and edit the animation in line with the plan 

Tools used 


I used the blade tool in order to cut and move around the different short this was important as it was stop motion and consisted of lots of different images I needed to cut the images to place them in the correct positions aswell as move the audio to place them into the correct scenes. 



This is what the final animation looked like after all of this had taken place 

Audio application


For the copyright free audio i got for the sounds and music was downloaded and converted into an mp3 file which allowed me to place them into the animation


For the audio i recorded it was moved from garage band to final cut where i was able to crop and place it into the final animation.

P5: Create the content for the animation  


Setting up: 


Setting up camera and lighting 


Cutting out characters 

Setting up tripod 

Setting up microphone 
i used the microphone for my voiceover which I used 3 actors to create the noises for my characters 


For my 2d backplate i printed the images on an A3 sheet of paper and stuck it down to the box I used for my set 
Setting up 2D backplate 

Setting up the shots 



I kept most of the original scenes however i added some and changed a few minor details. My storybord helped me with filming as it provided me with a plan to follow and edit. I added a whole new setting at night to add more depth to the animation. my planning allowed me to make this change on the same day of filming and keep the new scene at the same level of quality as the original one.

P1,P2,M1,D1  Two different types of animation are stop motion and line drawings  P1: Explain the different techniques for animation Stop motion:   Stop motion is one way to film animated films it is a technique in which objects are moved in small increments in-between frames they are individually photographed and then they are put together it is played and creates movement Examples of this are Nightmare before Christmas, Wallace and Grommet, shaun the sheep and Coraline. a technique used is claymation this is used a lot by Aarderman studios. and almost always uses a 3D backdrop instead of 2D  Two genres typically used in stop motion is Fantasy and Horror these genre is used as they have the ability to make a lot of different magical creatures a reality through molding them out of clay such as Jack Skellington in The Nightmare before Christmas.

M3 :  Optimise the content for use in the final  animation   I exported the animation in a .Mov format as this version has the best quality. And looks to a high standard however it is not what was asked for as it is only viewable on apple macs which is restricting to the audience who will see the promotional video  I exported the animation in a mp4 format. This is overall a good way to export the animation as it can be seen by a larger audiance as it can be opened on multiple different platforms this is a positive as more people will see the animation apreading the word of the zombie fest march happening. Another positive is it can be uploaded to youtube and use their platform to reach the audience. When i made my animation for the brain goo event i made sure to not use bitmap images. Instead I used JPEG's. The reason i did this is they take up less space. They also mean they can create a higher quality image. because i made a smaller version for smartphones thi...
