My animation Ideas


My first idea is going to be a 30 second animation of a animation model of clay. I will stop motion to make it a animation. This video gives me an idea of what i would want in my animation

My second Idea is using papar cut outs animation  This would be a good idea because i would be able to create my own cut outs and them turn them into an animation. This video of south park is a good example of cut out animation 
















Another Idea i could use would be slow motion animation which could be used by using any type of animation such as clay or cut outs


















My fourth Idea I could use reverse animation which could be a good idea because it looks good as the 'reverse' effect looks good. This could be used when water comes out of a tap, you could reverse it so the water is coming back into the tap

Professional Behavior

Respect-
 It is important to respect the staff you work in in whatever job industry including Media. And also you have to respect your bosses even if you are unhappy with the situation with your job, and the audience you work with.

Punctuality- 
This is one of the main responsibilities that you have at work.You are being paid for doing work for a certain amount of time, if you aren't there for that length of time, then you aren't living up to the obligations that you agreed to by taking the job in the first place. Being on time for work shows you are willing to put in a full day's work. It demonstrates a commitment to your job and your employer. Employees who are repeatedly late to work may be viewed as workers who aren't fully engaged or who don't have the motivation to be punctual. Motivation is a key element in deciding which employees should be recognized for promotional opportunities and positions with higher-level responsibilities.

Communication Skills
This is a main responsibility that every worker has to take and also how you listen and speak to people. Professionally, if you are applying for jobs or looking for a promotion with your current employer, you will almost certainly need to demonstrate good communication skills. For example, the ability to: speak appropriately with a wide variety of people whilst maintaining good eye contact, demonstrate a varied vocabulary and tailor your language to your audience, listen effectively, present your ideas appropriately, write clearly and concisely and work well in a group all require good communication skills.

Social Skills- 
Social Skills is very important at work as you need confidence to communicate and bring forth new ideas that will stimulate group discussions.Inquisitiveness, or the ability to ask the right questions that will allow you to intermingle easily with others in collaborative situations.Influence in order to ask those who oppose your suggestions to at least reconsider their adamant positions. Respectfulness in order to demonstrate to others that you are flexible enough to explore the possibilities they are trying to share.

Appropriate Presentation- 
This is very important in workplace because the way you dress in a interview or in a workplace determines on who you are. It also gives the interviewer a first impression on yourself. If you are dressed smart you will get a good impression of yourself and if you aren't dressed smart the interviewer might not take you on because it only takes a few seconds for the interviewer  

Time management
Time management in jobs is very important because By controlling your time you can cut out non-essential activities and achieve more, thus enhancing your career and getting more out of life.
It can also make your job more enjoyable and rewarding, as time management teaches you to be more productive and to say no to impossible workloads.

Film Editing Inventions
 
 
Moviola
A Moviola is a device that allows a film editor to view film while editing. It was the first machine for motion picture editing when it was invented by Iwan Serrurier in 1924. Moviola the company is still in existence and is located in Hollywood where part of the facility is located on one of the original Moviola factory floors.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Steinbeck Film Editing
Steenbeck is a brand name that has become synonymous with a type of flatbed film editing suite which is usable with both 16 mm and 35 mm optical sound and magnetic sound film. The Steenbeck company was founded in 1931 by Wilhelm Steenbeck in Hamburg, Germany. Since then, the name Steenbeck has become widely known in the film editing community and more than 25,000 machines are in operation around the world. The company relocated to Venray (The Netherlands) in September 2003, where it still manufactures editing tables.

History of Film Editing
 Early films were short films that were one long, static, and locked-down shot. Motion in the shot was all that was necessary to amuse an audience, so the first films simply showed activity such as traffic moving on a city street. There was no story and no editing. Each film ran as long as there was film in the camera. The use of film editing to establish continuity, involving action moving from one sequence into another, is attributed to British film pioneer Robert W. Paul's Come Along, Do!, made in 1898 and one of the first films to feature more than one shot. In the first shot, an elderly couple is outside an art exhibition having lunch and then follow other people inside through the door. The second shot shows what they do inside. Paul's 'Cinematograph Camera No. 1' of 1896 was the first camera to feature reverse-cranking, which allowed the same film footage to be exposed several times and thereby to create super-positions and multiple exposures. This technique was first used in his 1901 film Scrooge, or, Marley's Ghost.

Time Lapse

What is time lapse?
Time-lapse photography is a technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured (the frame rate) is much lower than that used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. For example, an image of a scene may be captured once every second, then played back at 30 frames per second. Time-lapse photography can be considered the opposite of high speed photography or slow motion.Processes that would normally appear subtle to the human eye, e.g. the motion of the sun and stars in the sky, become very pronounced. Time-lapse is the extreme version of the cinematography technique of under cranking, and can be confused with stop motion animation.

How it works?
Film is often projected at 24 frame/s, meaning 24 images appear on the screen every second. Under normal circumstances, a film camera will record images at 24 frame/s. Since the projection speed and the recording speed are the same, the images onscreen appear to move at normal speed. So a film recorded at 12 frames per second will appear to move twice as fast. Shooting at camera speeds between 8 and 22 frames per second usually falls into the under cranked fast motion category, with images shot at slower speeds more closely falling into the realm of time-lapse, although these distinctions of terminology have not been entirely established in all movie production circles.
