this is my year 9 unit 3 page

2. characters changing
 * 1) stick man

i didn't find the option that you can use to rotate characters

3. changing from an thing to another

investigation task:to create an animation to answer the unit question problem :to present how people are changing in a social setting.using a movie maker software.that helps to create a movie using different pictures and drawing of different items and people. In the investigation stage we were told to make 3 different types of animation .we were told to make an animation about: ü A stick man walking at least 4 steps ü Text based animation ü An animation showing one picture changing into another How am I changing? “Animation refers to the recording of any image which goes through changes over time to portray the illusion of motion. Before the invention of film, the depiction of figures in motion through static art existed as far back as the Paleolithic. In the 19th century there were several devices which successfully displayed animated images.” [] “Early examples of are cave painting where animals are depicted with multiple legs in superimposed positions, clearly attempting to convey the perception of motion.” Animation is a graphic representation of drawings to show movement within those drawings. what is story boarding ? A sequence of drawings, typically with some directions and dialogue, representing the shots planned for a movie or television production. -www.google.com simpsons
 * || * ** Full animation ** refers to the process of producing high-quality traditionally animated films, which regularly use detailed drawings and plausible movement. Fully animated films can be done in a variety of styles, from more realistically animated works such as those produced by the Walt Disney studio (//Beauty and the Beast//, //Aladdin//, //Lion King//) to the more 'cartoony' styles of those produced by theWarner Bros. animation studio. Many of the Disney animated features are examples of full animation, as are non-Disney works such as //The Secret of NIMH// (US, 1982), //The Iron Giant// (US, 1999), and // [|Nocturna] // (Spain, 2007).
 * ** Limited animation ** involves the use of less detailed and/or more stylized drawings and methods of movement. Pioneered by the artists at the American studio United Productions of America, limited animation can be used as a method of stylized artistic expression, as in //Gerald McBoing Boing// (US, 1951), //Yellow Submarine// (UK, 1968), and much of the anime produced in Japan. Its primary use, however, has been in producing cost-effective animated content for media such as television (the work of Hanna-Barbera,Filmation, and other TV animation studios) and later the Internet (web cartoons).
 * [|**Rotoscoping**] is a technique, patented by Max Fleischer in 1917, where animators trace live-action movement, frame by frame. The source film can be directly copied from actors' outlines into animated drawings, as in //The Lord of the Rings// (US, 1978), or used in a stylized and expressive manner, as in //Waking Life// (US, 2001) and //A Scanner Darkly// (US, 2006). Some other examples are: //Fire and Ice// (USA, 1983) and //Heavy Metal// (1981).
 * ** Live-action/animation ** is a technique, when combining hand-drawn characters into live action shots. One of the earlier uses of it wasKoko the Clown when Koko was drawn over live action footage. Other examples would include //Who Framed Roger Rabbit// (USA, 1988), //Space Jam// (USA, 1996) and //Osmosis Jones// (USA, 2001).”- [] ||  ||

a story board is a graphic representation of what a film or video will be like .its made up of a number of squares representing each frame per second of the film .usually storyboards contain dialogs. a storyboard helps the animator create the video step by step.they know exactly what to do.it also helps people understand the story

comparisons For my create stage i want to use silhouettes I like the first design because it is more simpler and easy to find pictures of unlike the other 2.For example i can have a morphing silhouette to show my story. for second design i have to find pictures with the right emotions that is going to be hard for 3rd design all the people will look the same because i would be using stick people.

creation

Evaluation Justification I changed a lot of my final my product .I added extra pictures to make the animation longer .this was because my animation was too short Investigation I think I did okay in the investigation .This is because I forgot that we had to write an essay about animation .I did made the three skills tests movies as told. I could have made it better if I had spent more time improving it. Design Design stage was hard because the unit question is complicated. The unit question is **“** **<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">What development and changes do people go through?”. Then there is this whole other side to it “ ** Students are required to demonstrate how people are changing using an animation. The task can be interpreted in any way the student wants. This could be physical changes like appearance, social changes, behavioral changes emotional changes etc. The problem they write down must be presented in a social setting. In other words their changes must be presented showing how they are related to their society.”This is makes it harder because you have to relate your story to this in order to get a high grade .I think I did not follow this rule. Plan Planning stage was easy. I tried to add as much detail as possible .I think I have enough information but I could have gone in to more detail about when ,where ,how. Create This stage was easy; this is because we knew how to use flash. It was hard to create a movie because flash would keep on crashing .If you double clicked on anything it would crash. I stuck to my design specifications but then I left out the morphing image .this was because I was not sure how to do that in flash. It was part of the investigation and I did it there but then im not sure if I did it correctly Improvements I could have added some text to my movie, I could have also added more colour to the movie to make it more eye catching. I could have added more pictures to the movie to make it more clearer for the viewer. Because right now it jumping from I age to another .There is a massive age difference.
 * ==== Extra pictures ====
 * ==== Made the mother disappear instead made the cloud bigger ====
 * ==== Made most of it in black and white ====
 * ====The end picture====

Testing Mum –its okay but it could have been better if you could have added more colour and some text to the movie Dad –you could have shown the images for a longer period of time and made the movie longer
