Unit 11 - Principles of animation and Animators

On your same PowerPoint you have started

Slide 5 - Principles of animation

Watch the You Tube video https://youtu.be/haa7n3UGyDc?list=PL-bOh8btec4CXd2ya1NmSKpi92U_l6ZJd and summarise the 12 principles of animation

Find examples of animations that show each principle and how it is used.

Slide 6 - Frame rates

Explain what frame rates mean?

Slide 7 -  Animators Historical

Slide 8

Choose two animations one from historical and one contemporary

Analyse the animations.

state which principles of animations have been used and the effect on the scene.

State what other principles of animation they could have used and what effect that would have on the animation.

Unit 11 - The development of animation technology

Activity

Create a PowerPoint

Title page - The development of Animation technology

Slide 1 - Definition of Stop motion animation

Watch the You tube https://youtu.be/wH_EaPc4Y5k and summarise the definition of stop motion animation and answer on your PowerPoint

Slide 2 - The history of animation

Go on to the internet and answer the following questions

What is a phenakistoscope and who invented it?

What is a zoetrape and who invented it?

What s a praxinoscope and who invented it

What is a kinetoscope and who invented it?

Slide 3 - Translucent paper

Watch the You tube video https://youtu.be/jAy0RvmWkDY and explain the benefits of using translucent paper to create an animation.

Slide 4 - CGI

Go onto the internet and define CGI (Computer Graphics Imagery) find an example of a CGI animation

Unit 14 Learning Outcome B - Scriptwriting for Stop Motion animation

Activity 1


Watch the following stop motion films created by students here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMwMo5LzCGE7znytcOfaFQ6ZTCvh3Cxf5 and


write down the storyline for each animation


1.
2.
3.
4.
5.


What do you notice about these storylines?


Which one is your favourite and why?




Activity 2


Watch the You Tube video How to write a short story - Quick and easy https://youtu.be/bwXw-9nk71E and answer the following questions

• What are the six elements of a short story?
•  write down the steps on how to write a short storyPlan your outline

Activity 3


On an A3 piece of paper write down the storyline for the previous animation which was your favourite for the following animation using the steps below


character
problem
motivation
Action
The result
The change


Activity 4

Now write your own short story using the steps below,

1. Think of your main character (what is their goal?)
2. What is the main characters problem
3. What motivation does the character have to solve the problem?
4. What is the action the character does to solve the problem?
5. What is his or her result from the action taken to solve the problem
6. How has the character changed?


Simplicity is the key here

The more simple your story is for animations the better the animation will be.

Unit 9: Editing - Analysis

Task: Analyse 3 film clips. Please use the framework below:

Analysis 1 (1900)
Analysis 2 (1960s Classic continuity_
Analysis 3 (2010 onwards focusing on alternative continuity )

Use the following questions to help:

Title of film
directed by
Target audience
Genre
Editing techniques used and the effect on the scene


1) who has made it and what techniques have been used to make it
2) who the audience is
3)explain whether the type of editing is appropriate to the audience
4) What is the impact/effect of the technique used?
5)Has this technique been influenced from previous earlier techniques that you have studied?


For each analysis Film fplease use the following format:

1902 - A Trip to the Moon / Le Voyage dans la lune -
Directed by George Mieles
Target Audience: Fans of his previous work, sci fi films. These editing techniques helped to
Genre: Sci Fi. This film was the first science fiction film and therefore set the expectations of what was expected in these films. 

Editing Techniques used and the effect on the scene:

• The editing techniques used in this clip are editing transitions like fade in and fade out to introduce new scenes, overlapping dissolves and stop motion photography and moved filming from mundane single action shorts to narrative. There is little to no narrative in this film. 
• He also used trick photography with superimposed images, dissolves and jump cuts, he depicted many memorable, whimsical old-fashioned images: The effect of these helped to make the film more realistic.
• Melies uses a dream sequence with a dissolve. The effect of the dissolve helped to show the audience that it was no longer the reality of the character. 
• Melies also uses a jump cut shot for a a scene in the court of. The sense of wonder that the film illicit comes from Méliès' intricate set design, consisting of painted backgrounds, animation, and in-camera effects.
• He developed the art of special effects, including double exposure, actors performing with themselves over split screens, and use of the dissolve and fade. 
• He also pioneered the art of film editing. The sets or scenery backdrops in the film are simple, painted flats. It has all the elements that characterize the science-fiction genre: adventurous scientists, a futuristic space voyage, special effects such as superimpositions, and strange aliens in a far-off place. 
• If Melies used cut in the action shots this would of helped to progress the narrative along. However it would have generate a completely different effect. If Melies had used parellel editing this would have shown two alternate scenes happening at the time to either mis lead the audience on the narrative or to help show the narrative to generate a meaning between characters. This would not have been appropriate in this clip as there is not two storylines happening in the film.
