Week 4

Project Plan

This week we were working on the Project Plan. After speaking to the tutors and getting feedback from the previous assignment, Nella and I decided to alter a fair bit i.e. the content and layout. This assignment was also quite interesting and gives a great perspective on the 'real world', as this is what animation companies need to consider.

The timeline of events was a very useful portion of the assignment. This will help us get organised and see clearly when everything should be done by. I found that it was hard to find suitable festivals for the marketing strategies section. All of them were either international or film festivals not really relating to our animation. We made our company logo eNVy Productions- because it is the initials of both of our first names, and can double as a word. For the logo we made it look like handwriting on a wet window. When we animate it, we may show ‘eNVy’ being written and then 'productions' can be made with typewriter text and noise, with the letters appearing one by one.

Nella and I still need to finalise our story. The middle needs the most changes to it. After speaking with the tutors today, we were told how our final could be achieved. Next week Lisa will be showing us how to make mixed media. The first thing we should do (and soon) is film a toilet door. We will go looking for an appealing one, which is not to complicated to animate.

I am excited to start this animation, however I know first there is more planning to do.
