Project 1 : introduction to animation and research techniques

 

Introduction to Animation 

1. What’s animation - animation follows the same principle as video. A series of images plays one after the other to create the illusion of movements. 

The aim was to do my animation and I have done one using the following tools. 

1. A ball.

2. A Rectangle.

2. I have learnt how to use the frames and play one after the other. I was using 24 frames while I was doing my animation. 

 It was my first time doing animation and it was easy i have learnt a lot of things from it that will prepare me for the future with my work it will help me a lot and will make me not worry about anything in the future. 

I have learnt about frames and frames per second and how many frames the TV uses.

1. TV - 25 FPS 

2. Cinema - 24 or 48 FPS 

3. Video games - 30 or 60   

FPS - frimes per second

1. high angle                                                  
2. low angle bird eye angle 
3. eye level 
4. Dutch angle  

camera shots 

1. close up
2. ex. close up
3. long shot
4. ex. long shot
5. mid shot 
6. ex.mid shot 
7. shot reverse shot 
8. wide shot

Cinematography is important in movies and TV shows because it strange the narrative 

some shots and angles show the character's emotions to the audience and some angles make the audience look straight to where the character wants the audience to look some shots explain what's going on in the scene.

my fav shot is close up because it shows the feelings of the audience.

my fav angle is high because it shows what's happening around the character

  

I would like to use a lot of mid and close-up shots. 

understanding idents and storyboarding for moving image 

An ident is a short sequence shown on TV that identifies the channel.

the purpose of an ident is to establish the branding of the channel it also sets the tone and the mood.

the most interesting persuasive devices are the slogan persuasive device and also the Humour.

The BBC Three logo sets all the moods happy and sad and others the dark grey Three logo and they have animated different characters each one of them presenting something in the cinematography low angle and mid-camera shot

 Original ident project 

 the first idea that came to mind was the animated colours.

We decided to change the second idea after starting with the first one.

I start getting to know how to edit and animate.

 it was difficult because I missed many lessons but as long as I knew what to do it wasn't difficult
