in the afternoon we had a photoshop session where we learnt how to change the backgrounds and make them animated. first we used an image that we got from the internet. them sam and i made our own from scratch, which include a hillside within rain. the rain was created by using the leaf brush.]]> 2017-01-12 14:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/146794211 walmantabitha https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/146797099 today i did research on children's authors. for this i looked at three different authors; j.r.r tolkien, jacqueline wilson and roald dahl. i researched what makes them good children's authors and why they are so popular. while doing this i developed my researching skills and i also became more confident while researching.]]> 2017-01-12 14:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/146797099 walmantabitha https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/146800228 today i used garage band to create a piece of music that could fit in well with my e book. for this i used guitar, bass and drums. i looked at the different beats i could use and the different instruments that would also fit in well with a children's book. 
we also looked at hans zimmer creating the jokers theme in the dark knight, we looked at how he used the instruments to create different sounds to make the music intense and eerie so that it fit in perfect with the character of the joker. we also looked at how the music can actually create the scene and create the character. 
after i created a character for a children's e book in which i drew. i then uploaded it on to photoshop and used photoshop to add texture to it. so that it looked more like an animated character other than it looking like a drawing. you can find these pictures on my units 5&6 padlet wall.]]> 2017-01-12 15:01:04 UTC https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/146800228 walmantabitha https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/147060188 today i done my self assessment for term 1 for the adverts, then i done the swot assessment for the e-book where i talked about my strengths weaknesses and threats. 
after this i done the e-book proposal essay in which i wrote about my personal targets for this project and barriers and solutions. i also wrote about the roles within the team that we have to share to make sure that everything gets done. you can find this on the units 5&6 pad let wall and on showbie.]]> 2017-01-13 15:06:53 UTC https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/147060188 walmantabitha https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/148099526 today i used final cut pro and after affect. i used these for editing my animations. i  found some of it difficult as it was something that i had never done before but it got easier the more i did it. 
i enjoyed learning about all of the different ways of editing with animation, which included compounding animation together, moving different types of animation like your own characters joints and images from the internet. ]]> 2017-01-19 14:55:33 UTC https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/148099526 walmantabitha https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/149618752 today i learnt about vocals, this included learning warmups and different ways of saying things so that you don't sound monotone when speaking and creating your character.
after in a group we chose a script, ours was from beauty and the beast, where we recreated the voices using the script. we were basically dubbing over the clip. 
in the afternoon i finished any work that i needed to complete while helping sam with his animation because he was not in when we done it. ]]> 2017-01-26 15:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/149618752 walmantabitha https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/152791219 today i finished the rest of the backgrounds including the Sydney opera house which i started yesterday and the statue of liberty. i did not have any major problems with these backgrounds except for adding the skyline onto the statue of liberty background which i overcame by getting a few tips from my friend and working the rest out for myself. i also started doing some textures for animals. i added texture onto the mouse and the cheese which are for the scene in France.again i did not have any problems with this. ]]> 2017-02-09 14:53:35 UTC https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/152791219 walmantabitha https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/155764300 today i updated our production schedule, this meant putting any changes in red. i also updated my padlet wall so that it included all of our characters and the backgrounds. then i started working on a scene for our ebook this scene is when bingo goes to Italy. to do this scene i used after effects to make max the lion move so that it looked like he was walking. i also started using final cut but did not finish as i had to keep going back to after effects as i had to change a couple of things. i will finish the stuff on final cut tomorrow. i also recorded my character for the e-book, i recorded the voice for kayla the kangaroo, this meant that i had to do an Australian accent. i did not have many problems, but any that i did have i either googled it or asked one of peers for advance then figured out the rest myself]]> 2017-02-23 14:52:22 UTC https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/155764300 walmantabitha https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/156030882 today i continued to work on the lion in italy. during this is did not have many problems, one that i did have was trying to get the lion to move, to solve this i asked on of peers for advice then worked the rest out for myself.i learnt how to do this by adding position key frames. i also updated my production schedule, any updates that i have donei put them in red. i also updated my padlet wall with any research or notes that i needed to add, this included my research on chords for children's music, i also added a rough draft of what the title song for our e-book could be.]]> 2017-02-24 14:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/156030882 walmantabitha https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/157333173 today i researched some Australian music for the scene where bingo goes to australia. i used garage band to try and create the music however there was not many instruments that sounded australian which made it a bit more harder. however i had a recording on my phone from when i used my guitar and that recording kind of sounded like a didgeridoo but it is not perfect. 
after i animated the map with the help from dave because i had never used this technique before. i was adding a line to the map to make it look like the fox was travelling from one place to another. to get this effect we used the write- on effect which allows you to draw line onto the composition. we tried to add on the foxes head but it did not go to plan as the head would not follow the line or it would go to different places. instead we opted for just using the line as it was easier and less stressful. again u had the help of dave as i had never used this technique before and neither had he. ]]> 2017-03-02 14:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/157333173 walmantabitha https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/159266946 today i continued with my evaluation for the end of this project this included analysing everything that i have done during the project and how i work]]> 2017-03-10 14:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/159266946 walmantabitha https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/159267273 today i had a screening for all of the e-books this helped to get some feedback, which i could include in my evaluation and i got to see all of the other e-books that were created which also helped with my evaluation as i could include the peer comparison, this included the similarities and differences between each of the e-books.]]> 2017-03-10 14:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/walmantabitha/n9892eyshbtb/wish/159267273
