Health and Safety UNIT 27

When producing a graphic narrative in a professional setting, you need to be careful in where you're stepping because in a studio there's probably a few computers that have cables all over the floor which can be dangerous to any individual. Also when you're are using a computer for a long time it can affect your eye sight. Furthermore, if you're in front of a computer for a long time and haven't taken any brake, you should definitely take one because it might not only affect your eye sight, but it will also affect your back or even legs because you were siting still for a long time. To conclude, having liquids around you while you're on computer might be dangerous as well because if it spills it might not only damage the computer, but might also cause a fire due to the damaged circuit.

Stop Motion Treatment UNIT 39

Production Idea: My idea was to have 4 different fairies, flying around the magic forest.

Format: One-Shot. Throughout the whole stop motion the camera was still, only the characters were moving.

Materials: cardboard, paint, colour pencils and pens, A4 sheets of paper, scissors and string.

Characters: On my stop motion there were 4 different characters. The first one was Lyla and she's very fast and very tanned. Second on was Alicia and she loves to sleep. Third one was Becky and she's very mysterious. The last one was Elly and she loves sweets.

Sets/Background: For my background I used paint to do everything. My background has a big tree in the middle and the sky is red,orange and yellow full of stars.

Audio: I used the sound provided by the app.

Audience: Children age between 6-12

Viewing Context: YouTube

Stop Motion Evaluation UNIT 39

About: My animation is about fairies that live in a magic forest. I decided to produce this because I though it was very entertaining for children.

Pre-production: To design the characters I used a A4 sheet of paper to draw them and then used colour pencils and pens to paint them. For my background I drew a big tree which had fruits with the shape of hearts and balls. On the background the sky had the colours red, orange and yellow. To do all this I used normal paint.

Audience Feedback: When I showed my audience what I produced they really liked the background and  the how a designed the characters. The only thing they said I could've of done better was the quality of the video.

Strengths and weaknesses: In my opinion I think the background was really pretty and the characters were really funny. I also liked how I used a string to make it look like the characters can fly. The thing that I should've improved was the quality. The reason for the bad quality was because I used a phone to do the stop motion instead of a proper camera.

Evaluation UNIT 27

Narrative Structure

Opening:
For my first animation I decided to draw the to characters facing foward with their names on top of their had do people know who they are.

Ending:
The two characters fall in love and the male goes to the female's square and they live happily ever after.

Components

Cause and effect:
The cause is that the characters fell in love after they fell of the top floor and effect is that they ended with a deep kiss and lived happly forever.

Image Construction

Shape:
I decided to draw my layout with 10 rectangles and have all the action there. The reason for this is because I thought it was something different.

Pattern:
I tried to draw my comic in a way that would make it easier for my audience to read. It isn't a difficult order, you just to look at each column and when you finish you just have to look down.

Colour:
I decided to use bright colours because I thought it would be more appealing to my audience such as; green, orange,yellow, pink and red.

Anchorage

On my comic I decided to only have the sounds the characters make instead of having them talking, because I know that children don't always like to read, but see images or drawings.

Production processes

While producing my evaluation I decided to draw something simple that would be easy for my audience to understand. To produce my comic I took 30/40min because I wanted to make it as colourful as could and I wanted to look interesting to children.
