I have been filling this out and will be completing the rest of the research just after summer. ]]> 2017-02-20 14:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/154935817 cattonnathan427 https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/154942894 today continued and finished my research on the nhs service and different types of videos that we can use in our music video. it also helped us choose ideas for camera angles and types for my music video. ]]> 2017-02-20 14:37:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/154942894 cattonnathan427 https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/155691164 Today I looked at animation as an idea for 999 hoax calls. We looked at the frame rate for a second of animation and also showed us how animations work through also the (onion peel) effect. we were also shown how to make stop start animation. to make the stop start animation we took a series of shots to make the animation seem alive and used the 'onion peel' effect to make the series of shots by showing us how far we had moved from the past shot. The animation shows when these shots are pieced together to make a video that shows the shots when played. there is 12 frames in a single second with only the one frame or 24 with two frames per second.  figures for the animation include Dolls with movable joints or clay figures that are often used in stop motion for their ease of re positioning. Stop motion animation using Plasticine is called clay animation or "clay-mation". Not all stop motion requires figures or models; many stop motion films can involve using humans, household appliances and other things for comedic effect. Stop motion using objects is sometimes referred to as object animation. ]]> 2017-02-23 09:46:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/155691164 cattonnathan427 https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/155692372 today we looked at audio recording apps to see which app works best. I then reviewed the apps to show which apps were good and which apps were bad compared to the other apps. my favourite app was Garageband as it filled the full criteria and also had extra bonuses to the app while none of the other apps had bonuses and lacked parts of the criteria]]> 2017-02-23 09:54:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/155692372 cattonnathan427 https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/156369596 today I updated my padlet and added a video for animation for my padlet with an explanation on how animation, the onion skill effect and how stop start animation works. Today i also made a mind map on ideas for the documentary I am going to do for the 999 hoax calls project. ]]> 2017-02-27 12:02:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/156369596 cattonnathan427 https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/157260903 Today we looked at animation for our project by making a short animation using software. We also then looked at how to make this software usable for our project.  the e book workshop helped to hone skills using software if i chose to do an e-book for my project. ]]> 2017-03-02 09:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/157260903 cattonnathan427 https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/157957904 today we looked at ideas for the project, i decided instead to do animation rather than documentary. I then made a mind map that is on my task padlet that shows ideas for animation that is for my upcoming project for 999 hoax calls. ]]> 2017-03-06 09:41:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/157957904 cattonnathan427 https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/162090428 Today I chose to do a stop motion animation due to the simplicity of making this type of animation whilst giving the stop motion animation a creative edge. My aim make an animation that is easy to watch and read whilst making the viewer change their mind on making hoax phone calls to the east of England ambulance service. ]]> 2017-03-23 12:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/162090428 cattonnathan427 https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/162611364 Today we started brainstorming ideas for our stop motion animation and started creating ideas for characters for our production. We also looked at how we were going to make our stop motion animation. ]]> 2017-03-26 10:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/162611364 cattonnathan427 https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/162736932 Today we started setting up and using stop animation so we could get a feel for using the clay and its properties to prepare for the second stop motion animation. We then took some test shots so that my team could see the animation in motion and understand also how to use the cameras and test the onion peel effect]]> 2017-03-27 09:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/162736932 cattonnathan427 https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/162745452 Today we started making our 999 hoax calls animation. We added in metal to our clay figures in order to make the figures easier to position and also so they do not fall apart during the production. Today we started the first scenes of the stop motion animation, making sure the scenes worked correctly and using skills like the onion peel effect and the camera focus and positioning to get the best animation possible. ]]> 2017-03-27 09:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/162745452 cattonnathan427 https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/162748652 Today we continued making our stop motion animation production. Today we focuses on props and detail. The problem we had was that the figures also had a tendency not to stand up fully, and had the chance to fall over, therefore ruining the scene as it was near to impossible to put the figures back in the same place whilst using the onion peel effect. ]]> 2017-03-27 10:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/162748652 cattonnathan427 https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/162749618 Today we did the final shots for the stop animation for the deadline on Monday afternoon. The final shots went well, with only a few issues involved in the production of the final stop motion animation shots. On Monday morning till 12:20 we will be editing the shots from the production for the presentation and we will housing music and subtitles for the fully finished 999 hoax calls animation. ]]> 2017-03-27 10:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/162749618 cattonnathan427 https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/162750451 Today we did the final editing for the music video, using premier pro in order to create subtitles with animation, add music into the production, and Also to create a professional finished production for the client. ]]> 2017-03-27 10:13:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/162750451 cattonnathan427 https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/167207906 In this final padlet entry I am going to talk about how I conducted myself for the project, how I developed audio for the project, what new skills I developed because of the project, what the challenges of the production was to make to the final product, technical Barriers that was overcome, how group and these technical problems were overcome, what I still need to explore technically, and finally what new skills I have learnt from the project.  I conducted myself professionally during the project for the client and jumped into items such as planning, software that will be used for the project, what props will be needed for the production, and the basis story for the production. For the audio me and Adrian got one of his friends to make some music for the production, which was perfect and fitted well with the production whilst playing on emotions. We had permission to use this music for the production. New skills that I developed due to the project was working to a tight deadline, using the onion peel effectively to make a smooth flowing stop motion animation for the production. I also used editing software to make a professional quality product. Challenges of the production was making (and keeping upright) the clay figures used in the production and also assembling these clay figures to look presentable. Also props such as trees and benches needed to be molded out of clay, so it was also very time consuming. I am glad with how the clay figures came out for the video, even though moving the figures was very fiddly and took extreme patience. Technical barriers that were overcome included having to make sure the camera was focuses all the time, and caused a lot of shots to be deleted due to bad quality/blurring. Another issue that happened was the software sometimes crashed, so we always made sure the work was saved every 10 minutes. 
Luckily for me my group was good and I had a very hard working individual with me so there was no problems, we have worked together and we both knew the tasks we needed to do when we started every morning.  What I need to explore technically is more of the specialised items in the new premier pro, as even though I know almost everything about the old premier pro, the new premier pro has a slightly different layout and more features on it than the old premier pro. New skills include onion peel effect, using stop motion animation, (using onion peel for clay character placement) and also using new apps (GarageBand being my favourite) to help record voiceovers  and to help create sections of music. ]]> 2017-04-20 09:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cattonnathan427/z761bqvqkpnw/wish/167207906
