One big problem I had on my last day of editing was that the first scene I created on After Effects was corrupted so I had to recreate it quickly which is probably why there was a few mistakes. I also recorded the voices for my charecters this week and added them into edit. Some problems I had with the voice recording was that some of the voices were louder then eachother  and I couldn’t fix it in the editing and when I recorded a couple of times the mic wasn’t turned on so I had to re do it.

•Improve: What improvements do you need to work on? What skills have you used/learnt that you plan to apply into your work next session?
Some improvements that I’ve made are the spelling mistakes In the E-Book and I also added a credits and an after credits scene at the end so the E-Book ends a bit smoother.
Also if I had more time I would have animated the mouths and maybe made some of the action scenes a bit longer because I think some the story goes a bit fast towards the end.

Something that I am changing is the animated mouths, at first I thought it would be a good idea to animate the charecters mouths but as I found out today it’s not a good idea, it took me about an hour to animate one sentence so I have decided to not use this effect. The reason I wanted to use this effect was because in my research I found that the professional examples all had animated mouths and I thought this would make my E-Book come across as more professional but unfortunately I don’t have enough time for this. 
One thing I am happy with is that I haven’t experienced any issues with Final cut yet which is why I prefer it to after effects, the only thing I prefer about after effects it’s that I can link charecters to the background so when I move one thing they both move, I can’t do that on Final cut so I just have to spend a bit more time creating effects like that.

•Improve: What improvements do you need to work on? What skills have you used/learnt that you plan to apply into your work next session?
Next week I should be finished with the E-Book and my target audience should enjoy it as I made sure to use all my research to guide me through the making of this E-Book.
Some improvements I could make is adding speech bubbles to the charecters to show who is talking because I am no longer going to be animating the charecters mouths.

When designing my characters I made sure to not include a mouth because I am planning to add it in afterwards in editing so I can give them an animated mouth. What I’m planning on doing is making their mouths move just like cartoons. I watched a YouTube tutorial on it and it doesn’t look difficult, it just might take alot of time. Hopefully I do use this technique and it doesn’t use up too much of my time because I think this effect could completely change my children’s E-Book.

•Improve: What improvements do you need to work on? What skills have you used/learnt that you plan to apply into your work next session?
Some improvements I need to make would be to create some new backgrounds because the ones I have at the moment don’t really work with the new story that I have come up with, I will also have to recreate some charecters because I lost the file when I was working on After effects, this had tought me  that I should always make sure to save my work somewhere safe so I don’t run into this problem again.

Some Barriers that I faced were mainly getting used to the new software and trying to use the puppet tool. What I have found is that using after effects is more risky because it is easier to lose work and it could slow me down meaning my work could be late. Some things I think went well was the way the camera tracks my main character at the start, it is quite smooth and it gives me confidence for the rest of the project as it wasn’t too difficult to create. 

•Improve: What improvements do you need to work on? What skills have you used/learnt that you plan to apply into your work next session?
I am definitely going to have to improve on my After Effects skills as I am currently struggling on the software and I am wasting a lot of time. Also because I am not using the puppet tool anymore I will have to re-design my characters so I can animate them in the way I did it last time.

•Do: What new skills did you apply, how did you complete the task, were there any barriers and evidence your successful outcomes? What did you do that you are proud of?
After watching some YouTube tutorials I saw that I should design my characters in a different way so they are easier to animate so when I created the characters I kept this in mind. I am pleased with the outcome as this should mean it will be easier to animate meaning I save time.
I did create two different models of my main character because the first one I created was a bit basic and it didn’t look like how I envisioned the character.
I also designed my background a bit differently from my last E-Book. With some of my backgrounds I didn’t include things that would be in the foreground or any doors, I did this so I could animate them afterwards so I could create some effects to make it seem a bit more realistic.

•Improve: What improvements do you need to work on? What skills have you used/learnt that you plan to apply into your work next session?

To improve on my backgrounds next week I will add more detail to them for example small things like light switches, books and ceiling lights. I could also try to add some shading to create some depth in my backgrounds. Some improvements I have already made would be designing the characters differently so I can use the puppet tool on them.

I am happy with the script that I have created at the moment, i think it is suitable for my target audience as it is easy to follow and there is a messege behind the story. I also use the results of my research to help create the storyboard so it met the needs of my target audience, for example: bright colours, bold writing, simple backgrounds etc.

•Improve: What improvements do you need to work on? What skills have you used/learnt that you plan to apply into your work next session?
My script may change over time if I think of anything I can add, usually when I’m making the E-Book I end up thinking of better things I can us like dialog or backgrounds. I might add some more detail to my story board so I can use it to remember what I first wanted from this story. However if I do think of new ideas then I may not use the story board as a guide.

When using After effects I found myself struggling more than if I was using a software I was used to like Final cut. When practicing some effects I found that its probably best that I don't use them as it will only slow me down and the effect doesn't make too much of a difference. For now I will keep practicing and I will be watching more YouTube tutorials so I can master effects like the puppet tool

•Improve: What improvements do you need to work on? What skills have you used/learnt that you plan to apply into your work next session?
Hopefully after watching some more YouTube tutorials I will be prepared and confident with using this software so then I can begin creating some test scenes to ensure I have the skills I need for the project.
I will also be implementing all the things I learned from my research, for example I will analyse my results and use what my target audience have said they prefer. I will also use the qualitative data I collected to pay attention to small details that can make a difference, like text font and audio volumes.

Some new skills that I have learned through this experience is how to animate things on after effects. I also got to use my Photoshop experience to create a test background and test characters to practice with. After creating my test scene I a pleased with the way it turned out and I am confident going into production.

•Improve: What improvements do you need to work on? What skills have you used/learnt that you plan to apply into your work next session?
I will continue to practice my skills on After Effects so I can create more effects during production. I also want to get used to a few other tools on Photoshop so i can create more detailed backgrounds. I will do this by creating more test scenes and designing them on Photoshop.

I am happy with my decision at the moment and I am looking foreword to production as I am confident that I will be able to create a successful E-Book. I re-watched my previous work to give my self a reminder of what it should look like and what I can improve for this project. 
The main story that I have come up with is going to be a story about a kid at cal hook who guns super powers and begins messing around with them, through the story I am going to try and ya relatable humour to make the E-Book funny and entertaining. This will also help me appeal to my target audience which will be 6-16 yearolds  as my main character is going through school it can be relatable to anyone who is also going through school.

•Improve: What improvements do you need to work on? What skills have you used/learnt that you plan to apply into your work next session?
At the moment I don’t have a strong story idea so I am going to need to add some more detail to it and neeten it up, I will probably do this when writing the script or creating the story board. I also hope to improve off of my previous E-Books and use them as guides to see what I did right and what I did wrong.

Some skills that I will be applying whilst making this are the same skills I applied in previous projects when I made anE-Book. For example my experience using Photoshop and Final cut will help me create this project. Some new skills I will be using are After effects animations. I haven’t used this software before but I think if I want to improve from my older E-Books I will need to make the change to this software.

•Improve: What improvements do you need to work on? What skills have you used/learnt that you plan to apply into your work next session?
I will begin planning my idea from scratch as I have started again, I will also need to get used to the softwares again to make sure I have the right skills for this project. If I do end up using after effects I should practice on it before production comes around so I am prepared.

I'm happy with the mind map because i feel i have explained my ideas clearly and it has also helped me with my idea. Because I have created E-Books before this should be suitable for me and it should be a success. I also did some research on YouTube to see other videos that are similar to my idea. 

•Improve: What improvements do you need to work on? What skills have you used/learnt that you plan to apply into your work next session?
I think to improve it I could have added a dew more details like how long it will take to do and the budget

I'm happy with the pictures I took because I think they will be helpful. I hope to use these pictures as inspiration throughout his unit

•Improve: What improvements do you need to work on? What skills have you used/learnt that you plan to apply into your work next session?
I think to improve i could have taken more pictures of some of the art because I remember there were a few pieces that I found really interesting but i didn't take a picture of it and now i wont be able to use them as examples
