What format do you propose to use to create an ESting?
Live action animation using a actual man and a green screen. What will happen in your proposed ESting?
A man will start unzipping his jumper to reveal a shirt then fly off save a cat and proudly stand tall and then the cape will be a big E4 cape. with a dialogue clip of someone saying 'is it a bird,is it a plane, no its E4 man. In regards to diegesis, where will your animation be set? a large city/ metropolis any limitations or difficulties to face when you produce your ESting?
Don't know how to use a green screen.
copyright issues Who is the target audience for your ESting?
E4 viewers are predomiantatly young and female between the age of 16-24 the demographic profiling for this is C1 and C2 there psychographic profile of thesea are individuals as they are young and hard to classify due to their age. location photos
soundtrack
the soundtrack I used was called hardcore 1. Storyboard
Aesthetic qualities (the way it looks; mise-en-scene etc.)
Creative qualities (imagination and flair) .
the survey responses where as follows
My review of my animation project is going to be a written report as it is easier to do and easier to access from home. I exhibited it via YouTube after editing and sorting through the images on premier pro. I obtained my feedback via Survey Monkey and the comment section underneath the video.
The constraints we found out was that the music supplied wasn't very good and they were all we could use if we were entering the competition. Another was we had to do it on different days but the problem with that is the weather was different so we had to re-shoot it all several times.
we had about 2 weeks for each planning,filming and editing we stuck to it well but we did need to use 1 day of editing to film as the weather was different each day. the one problem we did run into was printing the shirt as we struggled to get the logo onto the shirt
I believe we did meet the brief as we made an Esting that appeals to the E4 target audience and we also used a public YouTube account and if we were entering all we need to do is tweet them the url.
I have learnt how to make a Esting and how much pressure it takes for one to make and what problems come with it. I have also learnt how use a green screen and how to put an image on the green screen. Working to a brief meant I had to be less creative than I wanted to be as I had been set a task to make an Esting and doing so made me feel I had to do one thing and was able to do so.
i would be a suitable candidate if the brief was something a little more open as i have more creative ideas but i couldn't do them as the video could only be 10 seconds long.
I don't think animation is for me as I like filming not taking photos as I feel you can express more in a moving image than photos and that you can get more in a moving image than just a photo.
Briefs
A media brief is a set job given out by a client and given certain guidelines to do that is set by the client and you have to work to it.To be asked to produce something in media context it is to be asked to make an advert, programme etc. for someone and to be paid to do it under there guidelines. It also means you are doing a job for someone and they will be called the Commissioner.It means that the client is advertising it and it is open to all agencies and people who are willing to do it and they (the client) will choose the best one. Some briefs can be for competitions and you can choose to do it and if you win you will get the money from the competition maker and they will use your entry for its purpose.
Reading a brief
You have to make sure you stick to the guidelines set by the Commissioner. If you don't do this you can possibly get fired and they can go find someone else this can ruin your reputation and people will unlikely to work with you and choose you to work for them. You have to make sure you stick to the guidelines set by the Commissioner. Ours was to make a 10 second short. We had to use an E4 soundtrack that had been supplied for us. We had to make it stop motion animation (set by our teacher.) Negotiating a brief http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/apr/14/michelle-maclaren-quits-wonder-woman-movie-creative-differences as they both had creative differences and different interpretations of what the superhero should look and be presented as. We weren't allowed to use music off YouTube it had to be supplied to us by E4 same with the logo as we had been given permission to use it. We weren't allowed to slander off any gender or race etc... which we didn't and we weren't going to. We weren't allowed to show off anything with gore or anything rude in.We went outside and filmed as we didn't have a cat to get out of a tree so we changed it to saving an old lady from getting hit by a car and filmed on a road at the back of college.If the client wants more things added to it they will pay you to keep the equipment and pay the people in the thing so they stay around if not you can refuse to continue to work for them. Opportunities
To get experience and get there name out there so more people will come to them so that they can get more work. They also do it for the money. They can also find out what they are weak on and improve on it by continuously working on it. I learnt how to use a greenscreen and how to put an image onto it. I also learnt how to put a logo onto a shirt via printing.
found soundtrack- so I listened to each available sound clip and picked the one that I thought went well with our clip.
acted in it- I played the part of E4 man.
took photos- did the recces and for the green screen.
did story boards- for the pre-production.
booked rooms- so we could use the green screen.
I thought of the idea to do a super hero as it is very popular at this current time with all the films to this topic. We had to edit that though as we didn't have the props as what I wanted to do was rescuing a cat in a tree but we couldn't get a prop cat
Its creator is unknown but is said to either come from John Ayrton Paris or Peter Mark Roget. Paris used one in 1824 at Royal College of Physicians to demonstrate persistence of vision. It is a toy that has a double sided disk attached through a piece of string that is wound up and released to spin the two sides of the disk creating the illusion of whatever has been drawn on it to look like one whole image.
Zoetrope
A Zoetrope was originally created around 100 BC by the Chinese inventor Ding Huan. The drum used in modern Zoetropes was created in 1833 by British mathematician William George Horner. A 19th century optical toy of a drum with a series of pictures inside that when viewed through slits on the drum give the impression of continuous movement.
Praxinoscope
Charles-Emile Reynaud invented the Praxinoscope in 1877. He got the idea in 1872 and turned it into theatrical entertainment. Reynaud showed his project by giving public performances using broad long strips of hand painted frames. A Praxinoscope is a combination of pictures in a metal drum design that revolves and the images are reflected in a prism of 12 mirrors. The mirrors flash a clear image of the picture as it flashes past it. This works by rotating the drum very quickly and watching the images reflected in the mirrors.
Phenakistoscope
It was a theory recognized by both Euclid of Alexandria and Isaac Newton. but it was not until 1829 that Joseph Plateau put the idea into practice and invented the Phenakistoscope in 1832. A Phenakistoscope is a disk with multiple images each a different stage of animation the disk is spun and is viewed in a mirror giving the illusion of animation.
Kinetiscope
The Kinetiscope was designed by Thomas Edison and William Dickson in 1891. It was designed for an individual to view the film at one time, through a window or scopes in the top of the machine. The video inside the machine is made up of a series of images on a film reel flicking through, 46 frames per second with a single bulb to illuminate and to give the illusion that the images are moving
Persistence Of Vision
persistence of vision is a term to describe the visual illusion where multiple images go onto one image through the human mind. Some believe it is the explanation of how people interpret motion through cinematic and animated films. There is no exact inventor, however it can be traced back to 300 B.C. The creation of a mental bridge in the human mind which places together and fills the gaps between frames or pictures this creates an illusion that makes the pictures look like they are moving.
Ray Harryhausen
he made most of his animations out of clay and then painted them or he used toys.
George Pal
He always used puppets in his animated films and wooden models as structures and buildings.
Willis O'Brien
he did sculpting with marble and illustrating which lead to him being hired as a draftsman in an architects office
Phil Tippett
he used hand made models (AT-AT Walkers) and plastercine for the chess models in Star Wars.
Otmar Gutmann
Otmar Gutmann made his models out of clay and was the creator for the famous children animated show Pingu he did not write the episodes though
Tim Burton & Henry Selick
used puppetry and models in films such as The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Corpse Bride.
Henry Selick
Tim Burton
Adam Shaheen (Cuppa Coffee)
he used claymation in the TV show Celebrity Deathmatch and Starveillance
The Brothers Quay
they used dolls parts and other organic and inorganic materials often partly disassembled
Nick Park (Aardman)
using stop motion animation mainly plastercine and clay animation techniques
TV Programme
this one is more targeted at children as it shows a plastercine model moving around and not speaking as to not scare children and is something I grew up watching when I was very young
this is for family as it makes people laugh at it and has talking in and is more well done and the figures are more defined and professional looking
Feature Film
this is more for children as I grew up watching this and Shaun the Sheep is a well known children TV show character
This more for adults as the dog can scare young children and many adults remember this film being released.
Advertisement
this is aimed at adults to buy from John Lewis as it is a shop and children are not likely to go in there
this is aimed at everyone to eat healthy as it is something that affects everyone
Music Video
this is aimed at adults as the music is slower and that is what adults like
this is aimed at teens as the music is faster the video is faster and teenagers like to do things in a rush
Ident
this is at teenagers as it is a teenager TV channel
kids as it is a children's TV channel.
I see Stop Motion animation becoming very rare as computers can do things that humans can't and I don't want to say it by I see Stop Motion Animation die off in the next 25-50 years with technology improving as quick as it currently is it maybe even sooner.
"E4 is owned by Channel Four Television Company who also own Channel 4(families) More4(male adults), Film4(depeinding on film), 4Seven(anyone) and 4oD.(anyone) Although the company is largely commercially self-funded it is ultimately owned by the public.
it was launched on the 18th January 2001 as a subscription channel and didn't become free to view until the 6th May 2008. Also a few years ago E4+1 was launched a channel with the same programmes on E4 just starting an hour later.The Cleveland Show, The O.C., Smallville, Veronica Mars, Everwood, What About Brian?, Desperate Housewives, How I Met Your Mother, 90210, One Tree Hill, Ugly Betty,Scrubs, Rules of Engagement, The Big Bang Theory, 2 Broke Girls, Revenge, Skins, My Mad Fat Diary, Misfits, The Inbetweeners, The Ricky Gervais Show, Shameless, Hollyoaks, and Made in Chelsea"
The primary target audience is teenagers and young adults as programmes can appeal to their sense of humor and they don't single out any gender with very many of the programmes.
middle aged adults as they can be dragged in by TV shows such as Gogglebox or soaps like Hollyoaks
an E sting is a channel ident for E4 it is a very individual thing for E4 as they have a competition every year to get new ones they are only 10 seconds long and has to involve the logo.
this is a very comedy based E sting you can tell this is a comedy as it involves a comedy dance routine with a baby in a mankini with a builders hat on and a man dressed up as a red Indian. this aimed at teenagers as it appeals to their wacky sense of humor. I liked this as it was very funny and unique.
this is very wacky and weird and involves cut out image onto an animated background that changes colour I like this one as it is very unique and there aren't any others like this
This one is very hard to do and well done as puppets are how to use to keep in the same place for each photo with very slight movement. I like it as it is very smooth and is really well done.
I think mine went very well and smooth it ran with no hitches and the video was very well done as the giraffe smoothly eats and drinks then leaves very smoothly with no hitches.
i liked it as we stuck to the task and it went very well but we forgot to include the clock and we did it very well.
