Analysis of Movement

With our animation we tried to make sure that we could make it as realistic as possible. When filming there was a lot of stopping and starting so that we could get the shots right. We took a lot of time making sure that the movements were as effective as possible.







With the door we had to make sure that you could get the movement of the people walking towards the door with the same speed as them walking. To open the door it took 5 shots to make sure that it opened at the right speed. This took a bit of time to make sure we got a detailed movement.














With the people walking we had to make sure that we got the right speed and make it look as realistic as possible because we found that it made them look like they were moon walking which is what I didn't want to happen. This took quite a long time as we wanted to get it perfect and it was quite hard when you are trying to correct the mistakes that have already been made.








We then shot the logo where we found that we needed it to blend with the background as much as possible. Because it was paper we found that often you could see the cut out which is what we didn't want. The movement here was slow but we found that it was easy to blend in and wasn't too hard. This took about 20 minutes to get to the standard that we were looking for because without this it wouldn't have been as good as this was the ending of the animation.

Animation Feedback

1.) What do you think the message of our Animation is ? I think that the message of the animation is the dreams of the children.

2.) What do you think is the best bit of the Animation ? The best bit of the animation is where the dreams float up and create the logo. 

3.) What would you improve if you could? If I was to improve the animation I would just add more colour to it so that its more interesting for the younger children. 

4.) Would you like to see this on TV. Yes, I think that this would be a great powerful advert.

What Is A Documentary

A Documentary film is a non fictional motion picture intended to document some aspect of reality, primarily for the purpose of instruction or maintaining a historical record.



A documentary example would be the Act of Killing where it was directed by Joshua Oppenheimer. This documentary was filmed over several years where they expose the horrifying mass executions in Indonisia of communists. They documented the people who were involved in the killings and how they feel about it now. They actually re-enacted it all and by the end they felt pity for the people they had killed and struggled.


Documentaries can be made into short ones like the ones we are doing for this unit. You start with a topic and develop what you want the end result to be. Our documentary will be up to 5minuets long and we will then make sure that the footage is the best quality as possible and makes sense.

Team Meeting Minutes

In our team meeting we discussed who would do which roles and how our Animation would be made.

We started talking about who would be in charge of what roles so we decided that we would put Luke in charge of the design and drawing because we felt that by doing that we would be more of a productive team.

We then decided that by me doing the admin side it would help to make sure that we got all the information that was needed in order to make the whole animation unit a success.

Luke was to start with the story boards and working out what we thought would work best and the best way to do it. We decided that the best way to do our animation would be drawn animation where you could find the best way to put the message across.
We then discussed the best way to film the animation and how we would use the camera's to collect the images. We decided that we would use a clamp to hold the camera above the drawings, this would help show the whole area of the drawings.

With the paper work I was doing, I made sure that I had used the templates provided so that I could develop the paper work so it relates with the Animation and helps us to get the best possible grade.
