Unit 10- Create a Digital animation

 There are multiple uses of animation including comedy, 3D animation film and horror. I will be Family Guy & Robot Chicken for the comedy genre, Toy Story for 3D Animation and Stranger Things & Bride of Chucky as horror. There are multiple uses of animation that can vary from TV, film, advert, comedy, horror, super hero movies, fantasy, adventure etc. They use animation to entertain and promote and advertise.  Comedies such as Family Guy and Robot Chicken use animation to entertain their audience. The target audience of Family Guy is mostly 18-35 year-olds, as the lead writer is of that age and they can include pop culture references of that time. Family Guy uses 2D animation, where everything was drawn by hand, which allows them to communicate complex ideas to a wider range of audiences. The main use of 2D animation in Family Guy is creating an animated cartoon that aims to tell a compelling story. Family Guy is hand drawn with elements of the real world. Using animat...

P3: Brief, target audience, synopsis, annotated concept art(sketches) Mind map of original ideas: Concept Art: This is a rough sketch for a concept of the main character of the short film. This character is an astronaut and will use a rocket to reach the setting on mars below. This is a concept for a background that I created on photoshop. This will be used as a part of the setting in the short film. The colours will be bold and bright and each thing will contain outlines to ensure children are watching as I want the correct audience to watch. For unit 2, I learnt to create concept art before production as it is important to have visualisation of characters and location as it can be changed later on during production. Also in unit 2, we learnt to create production schedules and Gantt charts, which are used to track the progression of work and make sure I am hitting deadlines.  Also, on my unit 2 exam I had to compare a SWOT analysis to highlight the strengths, weaknesses, opportuni...

 SWOT SWOT is Strengths , weaknesses , opportunities and threats and allows directors/artists to analyse their work to their audience before release. A strength to my animation in relation to my audience is that it will contain bright colours and bold fonts, which will mean my animation will be aimed at children. A weakness to my animation is that it might not be educational to children as I will have to communicate through the body language of characters. An opportunity to my animation is that as an animator, the characters could be used in future animations and could re-use work already completed. A threat to my animation is that topics discussed could be offensive to specific audiences, which could decrease overall ratings and could be bad for my reputation. Also another threat is my skillset as I have never used animation tools and the tools used will be very low level as I learn how to use them . Strengths My animation is strong as it is aimed at a young audience, which...
