We have FINNISHED!!! The editing is complete. Now we just have to do the questionnaires, which we have already begun, presentation and evaluation.

# data[].attributes.body
We are going to continue editing and the sound effects, possibly get started on the questionnaires if we have enough time.

# data[].attributes.body
We have been editing all day and are coming to the end, we have also been able to record the new narration and place that along side the animation, and have begun to place in and download the sound effects. I have done the actual computer editing but Lewis is always giving me ideas and advice.

This is todays muinites of meeting.

We have finished our animation work, we now can move on to editing what we have filmed. it was in good time because Lorraine now needs the animation room. i am pleased with how much we have completed because i was worried that we would be able to complete everything. i am still a little worried about completing everything but am less than i was.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the plan for today.

Today we have continued animating and chapter 2 everything so far has gone well but we are worried that we may not finish in time.

Today we have been animating and have finally finished chapter 1 and started the first scene of chapter 2.

This is the meeting we have recorded for today's work.

Today has been a good days work. We have completed the rain scene and have successfully saved it onto the memory stick. It has been nice and quite without Luke and Jenny and we have gotten on well with the work

# data[].attributes.body
Today we have had a useless day. We finished off the rain scene and then when Dave asked to see it we discovered that it had not saved it. We refilled the scene and when we tried to save it again it would not. Dave attempted to fix it but could not. The only solution he could come up with was to turn it off and back on again. He filmed it on his iPad and was going to send it to Lewis. That has no come through on Lewis's email.

Today has been a slow and unprofessional day. First of all we had to delay begging flying because we needed Lewis to print out the white coloured rain because we are now using a black background. I was cutting out some extra pierces we could use I the scene. After lunch we did an hour or two filming, which was a little stressful as the pieces moved very easily, especially the three sections of backgorund. Then we had the problem with the he backgrounds as they were slightly curved and as we attempted to moved the specials from one to the other they would stay still and they would have ruined the effect of the animation. Jenny attempted to fix this by taking us to the fashion department to iron out the pieces, this failed.

This is were I have been animating the beginning of my final project. Lewis has not been in because he is unwell so I have done this on my own. The two light s are for keep away any shadows and brightening the pictures, this should also avoid the lines going across the images, which has been a problem on previous projects and is caused by the lights about us in the animation room. It is very hot under both legs so I am taking emulate little breaks for a few seconds one a particle,are part is done and when. Have completed a scene I turn the lights off completely for them and me to cool down.

This is todays minutes of meeting, it wasn't really a meeting because it was just me as Lewis is not in today because he is unwell. I will have to work on my own.

Today has gone badly, everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. First of all was after lunch we thought we would have to print out everything - all 200 or so pictures - again or multiple times. We printed out the first chapter again. We thought we had to do this was because we realised to animate our characters we wold have to cut them out of the scenes but that that would rip it and would need a second one for the scene. It was only after we had printed out the first chapter we realised that this still probably wouldn't work. We wanted ask for help but we couldn't find our tutor Cliff or technical support Dave. This is not unusual. Instead we found Jenny the learning support person. This turned out to be a mistake. She insisted that she needed to read the script and to sort it all out and that we needed to take out some scenes but she didn't know what they should be and we insisted we had already taken a few out and could find any at the moment but were planning g to do this if we found any that were unnecessary. She would not listen to us. We went to the animation room to try some things out but couldn't as jenny insisted on doing her own storyboard of every picture of what we would need and that took a long time, we tried to tell her that we wanted to at least try to animated something but she would not let us. eventually we managed to cut out some of the stencil and to experiment with either a white or black background, we found that we couldn't have a grey background pictures the printers up here are not clean and it would either come out green or pink in the grey. also amy came over saying that she was going to help, she started doing something on the computer that was connected to our camera after a while she some who broke it and made it not take pictures of what was in front of the camera. eventually this was fixed. we did some short experiments to see what would work, we think we might use the black background but might or might not need the large lamps on.

This was an experiment for our final major project, it is not the end result. it uses stencil animation. harlow college, media

# data[].attributes.body
This is the amount of work we have done today all put together in a sleeve so we will not loose it. There is a fifteen page script that has been finished completely today, and the rest is all the stencils for chapter one, there is are 19 pictures in total, the rest we will hopefully print all tomorrow. We will probably need more sleeves. I am worried that we have to much of a work load to do but we can possibly edit out a few of the pictures/scenes

# data[].attributes.body
This is the minutes of the meeting

# data[].attributes.body
today i have been writing the script for our animation but i have not completed it. also we have been taking photos of our pictures in preparation for turing them into stencils. we will continue this tomorrow.

Today we have been doing our storyboarding, it went well and it helps to show people wheat we are going to be animating. also we have attempted to upload the narration that we filmed onto padlet. so far that has failed, it was too big to go on padlet but we also tried to upload it onto youtube and that constantly failed as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we have recorded the narration for our film and th time has come out as 27 mins which is perfect. The only concern is that when we do the whole thing it might come on it as a bit bigger but hopefully it won't be too much. Also I have started to write out the script and will continue the hat on Monday aswell  as doing a storyboard.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we have been practising with the voices  and characters. we have also written out some of the lines because we discovered that it was too difficult and complicated for them to read out directly from the book. Also we have taken pictures of all the images we are going to use from the book.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we have been writing our written proposal for our final major project and having a team meeting and discussing different point such as the production roles, lighting plan and shot lists as well as other things. Also we have written our proposal talking about the production in detail, the target audience, influencing work and the legal and ethical problems.  Next we will have to time how long it takes to narrate and if we have to shorten it and take any scenes out. I hope we do not have to do this because I do not know what we would remove without messing up the story.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we have been doing more research into what techniques we would like to use, mostly it has been into silent fins from the 1922 original of cinderella to the modern CGI. we have also decided that we will not use object animation as it would make it too complicated and could distract the audience. we have also been able to audition some people for some of the voices of our characters and are happy with the results, we have also thought of some people we think could play these characters but have yet to ask them.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we have begun the planning stages of our final projects, Lewis is with m was a team. We have decided that we are going to do a stencil animation of a children's picture book, using a little silhouette animation and possibly object animation. We have also done some research into types of animation and people who have animated children's books. The only concern at the moment is that each person has to have a different final product and we are not sure how we are going to do this.
