Animation+with+Mr+H

Term 4 will see our movie making rotations groups making their own short silent movies. We will begin by looking at silent movies and then come up with some ideas to guide our own movies. Once we have come up with a good yet simple idea we will story board them then work out what we need and begin to make them. Finally we will use myna to create a soundtrack to go with our movies. These will be great...

Here is a link to a great site about camera angles that we will be using this term.

//By the end of this term you will have planned and created a 30 second or longer animated movie. Follow the steps below to move from the thinking, dreaming and creating stage to the planning stage then onto the making and finishing off stage. Just a tip to give you an idea of what this will look like, you will need somewhere close to 100 photos to be successful in this project.//

Sessions 3,4,5: Re-work and create your storyboard. This needs to include all the things we spoke about last week. I've attached the criteria that we developed together last week. When you're finished the storyboards please put them back on the clip on the wall behind my desk so I can check them.

Session 2: Welcome to session two. Thank you to the students who left me their books to check over. I enjoyed looking at your ideas. Today you will move through more planning for your animated movie.

Session 1: 1st, make a decision on the story you will create a movie about. 2nd, Think and talk about which materials might be best suited to this story. Select the best one. 3rd, Create a storyboard in your books, click on the link to see an exampole of what a story board looks like. You can't print from where you are. I expect to find tidy storyboards done by the end of this weeks session. Here is another differentexample of a storyboard. **You will need to have more than 6 pictures and captions for your storyboard to ensure you have all the parts of your movie planned out.**

I expect these to be done to a high standard (that means that they are excellent examples of what your movie will look like). If not we can do it again next week!!

On your storyboard you need to include pictures of what I can expect each photo to look like and the audio (speaking or other sound effects including music.)

Have fun and __please__ be prepared for next week when those with finished storyboards can think about getting ready to take pictures...

See you when I get back.

Session One: The method you wil be using to create this animated movie is //stop-motion//, this is the same way movies were originally made, with lots of photos running quickly along to make it look like a 'movie'.

Take some time to look through these animated movies to get some good ideas.

These projects use a range of materials to creat their animations. You now need to decide what materials you will use for this movie...clay, playdough, lego, paper, drawings, blocks, cars, action figures, toys of some sort. Once you have decided which material you will use then with your group create some cool stories that you could create a 30 second movie about. Once you have done this you need to create a story board with a basic script to plan out your movie.
