This is the computer work for our pixilation that we have been doing. It wasn't too bad for a first go at it. This also helped us to develop new ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
This is our basic storyboard idea for our pixilation work. This is only rough as we are just experimenting with the pixilation techniques at the moment.

# data[].attributes.body
This is our second attempt of using pixilation. This is video is more detailed than the last one. We do 2x4 frames per second of the chair spinning round on its own. Then we do 2x8 frames per second of the Luke sitting still on the chair. Then we do 2x4 frames per second again of the chair doing a full 360 degrees spin on its own. Then, for the final part, we do 2x8 frames per second of Paolo sitting still on the chair.

# data[].attributes.body
This is our first experiment of using pixilation. 'Spinning Chair' is basically Luke sitting still on a chair and then spinning round on it several times

# data[].attributes.body
I wrote up my self-evaluation on to word and included things such as what went well, what didn't, where can we improve, and our questionnaire results, which gave an overall review of our animation.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the full animation video that we have.

# data[].attributes.body
We created and printed out 5 questionnaires for people to fill out, so we can get some feedback from our peers.

We started the day by editing our animation work and added some soundeffetcs to it, such as moving water, thunder and lightning, birds tweeting, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
More of our group in action. Luke is working on the computer with the frames and shots. Aimee is moving the character.

# data[].attributes.body
Here is another picture of our group in action filming our animation, Fishin' Fools. Gabby is moving the gel along with some kind of comb to make it look like a realistic river. We used gel for the river and plasticine for the pebbles. We sued stencils for the sun, clouds and lightning that's on the background. We also used plasticine for the grass ad to cover the bridge, which is made of cardboard.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we started filming our animation called Fishin' Fools. We had our set all ready to start working. We first moved our character over the bridge and then he would start fishing. After that the fish will pull him into the river. Finally, he will float back up to the top and get struck by lightning to show that he is a fool.

This slide describes the idents for GOLD and Jetix (now known as Disney Channel) The GOLD ident is from December 2013 and is Christmas themed. Jetix just has a simple ident where the animation rolls straight in and has a voiceover. It lasts about 4-5 seconds. I also described what the purpose of an ident is on this slide.

# data[].attributes.body
This slide describes the TV idents for channel 5 in 2011 and Sky 1 in 1993. Both of these have similar ident styles, their animations both roll in instantly and both include a voiceover telling the viewers what channel they are watching.

# data[].attributes.body
This is our groups' idea and set for our animation. We covered up the cardboard and the bridge in plasticine to make it look more realistic.

# data[].attributes.body
This is more of my contextual research on TV idents. Here, there is a Christmas theme for BBC 1 and the Magic music channel. Also, there is a BBC 3 ident which includes a magician rubbing his hands and making the BBC 3 logo.

# data[].attributes.body
i took a picture of a sun and lightning templates I cut out. The sun will be still throughout our animation but the lightning will come in at the end and strike the fisherman.

# data[].attributes.body
I also made some pebbles for the water. I had to roll them between my hands to make them look as realistic as possible. Luke also made some pebbles which should be enough to fill the whol river set.

# data[].attributes.body
i cut out some cloud templates which will be part of our animation. They will move along the sky while our animation is going on.

# data[].attributes.body
I wrote my synopsis that described the basic idea of our advert and how it will work and what props we are using to make it. This will help people have an understanding of what our animation is all about.

# data[].attributes.body
I drew and wrote out a storyboard that explains our idea for a TV ident. This features a man fishing and catches a goldfish. The goldfish pulls him in to the river but then he floats back up to the top and gets struck by lightning. The title for our ident is called 'Fishin' Fools' which represents a fishing programme and stupid people fishing.

# data[].attributes.body
I did some contextual research on TV idents. This can range from different channels such as Channel 4, BBC 2, Sky Sport F1, etc. This is a short animation which introduces the programme you are about to watch. (they can include voiceovers) Usually, idents last about 10 seconds or a little bit more. (There are exceptions like Channel 4) Most idents include a theme as well, such as BBC 2 who make some kind of background into a 2, or Channel 4 who make buildings in a city or rocks on a beach into a 4.

I put my contextual research for idents on to powerpoint. It obviously won't be all on one slide and will take up a few slides. I want to get as much detail as I can on to this powerpoint.

# data[].attributes.body
I took a screen shot of the video called 'Lego Shopping' which is another example of object animation. Lego characters are moved round a shopping centre with different items in the shots which make up the theme of the animation.

# data[].attributes.body
I took a screen shot of a Lego object animation video on YouTube. The video is called 'Lego School' Basically, they move Lego characters around a Lego-built school. They make the voiceovers, movement, facial expressions very realistic.

# data[].attributes.body
I took a picture of using the machines to create our stencil animation work. We zoomed in with the camera to make sure our background fitted in perfectly. Then I moved the meteors across our space background to make it look like they were heading towards the Earth.

# data[].attributes.body
I took a photo of our meteor shower stencil animation. We used a space background and cut out 4 clip art meteors. We also added images of the moon, Earth and few other planets such as Jupiter and Saturn on to photoshop so it was made to look more realistic with the background.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the first ever South Park episode in 1992 which was created with stencil animation. The background stayed the same while the characters moved. This probably would have taken weeks to make in the earlier days.

# data[].attributes.body
I watched Terry Gillingham's "Monty Python" on YouTube. This is an example of stencil animation. It's made to look like a life-size person is stamping on someone else who has been shrunk.

# data[].attributes.body
I started some contextual research on animation where you can have a static background, and just move the objects. On youtube I watched the Lego School

# data[].attributes.body
This is the animation video completed. We had to move the stencils carefully so that it looked in line and made the animation run smoothly.

# data[].attributes.body
I also took a photo of the animation production work that me and Luke did in the animation room

# data[].attributes.body
I took a picture of our drawings that we used for our hand-drawn animation. We drew a car going along past four or five different backgrounds that included a city, forest, mountains, pyramids and a house. We had to draw on 80 different sheets for 10 frames per second. This meant that our animation lasted roughly about 8 seconds. In the end it did work pretty well for a first go at this module.

# data[].attributes.body
Me and Luke created an updated storyboard for our car animation idea. This time we got rid of the idea of the car crashing at the end and just changed the background of the scenery throughout the advert. It went from a city, to a forest, to mountains and then the final bit with just a house.

# data[].attributes.body
I wrote up my synopsis for mine and Luke's hand drawn animation idea. This gives a main idea as to what our hand-drawn animation is about and what it features.

# data[].attributes.body
I did some research on computer generated animation and used Toy Story as an example

# data[].attributes.body
Me and Luke designed a story board of a car crashing for our hand-drawn animation project.

# data[].attributes.body
I took a photo of some animation drawings that I did

# data[].attributes.body
On the next slide, I typed up my contextual research on Ladislav Starevitch and Winsor McCay

# data[].attributes.body
I typed up my contextual research on Flick Books, Emile Reynaud and Edward Muybridge on this slide.

# data[].attributes.body
I started researching William Horner and his animation called "The Zoetrope" He uses plasticine in his animation to make the people and objects.

# data[].attributes.body
This morning I have screen shotted a paragraph from wikipedia explaining what pixilation is.

# data[].attributes.body
I also did some contextual research on wikipedia.com about animation.

# data[].attributes.body
Another screen shot of the pixilation video called - Her morning elegance. Here, it looks like she is falling. A dream turning into a nightmare?

# data[].attributes.body
I watched another pixilation music video where there is a woman on a bed , but the video is made to look like she's having a dream whilst asleep. The music video is called - Her morning elegance

# data[].attributes.body
I also looked at a Kit-Kat animated advert. Which shows someone getting frustrated when their computer goes wrong at work. He goes to a Kit-Kat vending machine and feels better.

# data[].attributes.body
This afternoon I started looking at some animation music videos on youtube. One of them is called 'White Stripes - the hardest button'. I made some notes on this too.

# data[].attributes.body
We also created a questionnaire for people in other groups to complete as well. The majority of people thought that the advert worked well for product featured. A lot of people also liked our transfer from a grey picture to a coloured picture, which represents Paul's gloom and doom and then a transfer to where he's happy. They thought it worked perfectly with the pacing of the video.

However, some people thought that the camera zoom wasn't as smooth as it could of been, so that is something we need to improve on.

our overall score from all the questionnaire results put together is an average of 4.5 which is a very solid result.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I typed my out my own individual script that explains the camera shots, time frames and stage directions. I also mentioned what sound effects and music instrumentals we used.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I wrote my synopsis for our advert about Doritos. I basically gave a brief outline as to what our advert is about.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my mind map for my contextual research on different crisp adverts. I have researched Pringles and Walkers adverts and taken note of the narrative of the adverts and what style they have. As part of my research I also looked at the time concept of the adverts. One of the adverts contained humour whereas the other showed people having a good time, this was the differences.

# data[].attributes.body
First official day and I completed a deconstruction for a Citroen C4 advert from 2006. I pointed out the key lemons of the advert and explained the purpose of it. I also gave details of the target audience, persuasive content, etc.
