My animation

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. 

Scooby Doo

Scooby-Doo is an American animated cartoon franchise, comprising several animated television series produced from 1969 to the present day. The original series, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, was created for Hanna-Barbera Productions by writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears in 1969. This Saturday morning cartoon series featured four teenagers—Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers—and their talking brown Great Dane dog named Scooby-Doo, who solve mysteries involving supposedly supernatural creatures through a series of antics and missteps.

The Flimstones



The Flintstones is an animated, prime-time American television sitcom that was broadcast from September 30, 1960, to April 1, 1966, on ABC. The show was produced by Hanna-Barbera. The Flintstones was about a working-class Stone Age man's life with his family and his next-door neighbour and best friend. The show is set in the Stone Age town of Bedrock. (In some of the earlier episodes, it was also referred to as "Rockville".) In this fantasy version of the past, dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers, woolly mammoths, and other long-extinct animals co-exist with cavemen. Like their mid-20th century counterparts, these cavemen listen to records, live in split-level homes, and eat out at restaurants, yet their technology is made entirely from pre-industrial materials and largely powered through the use of animals.

Postman Pat

Postman Pat is a British stop-motion animated children's television series first produced by Woodland Animations. It is aimed at pre-school children, and concerns the adventures of Pat Clifton, a postman in the fictional village of Greendale. Each episode follows the adventures of Pat Clifton, a friendly country postman, and his black and white cat Jess, as he delivers the post through the valley of Greendale.

Wacky races

Wacky Races is an American animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera. The series, inspired by the 1965 slapstick comedy film The Great Race, features 11 different cars racing against each other in various road rallies throughout North America, with each driver hoping to win the title of the "World's Wackiest Racer." The cartoon had a large number of regular characters, with 23 people and animals spread among the 11 race cars.

Modern Animation

Cel

A cel, short for celluloid, is a transparent sheet on which objects are drawn or painted for traditional, hand-drawn animation. Actual celluloid (consisting of cellulose nitrate and camphor) was used during the first half of the 20th century, but since it was flammable and dimensionally unstable it was largely replaced by cellulose acetate. With the advent of computer-assisted animation production, the use of cels has been practically abandoned in major productions. Disney studios stopped using cels in 1990 when Computer Animation Production System (CAPS) replaced this element in their animation process.

Family Guy

Family Guy is an American adult animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Griffins, a family consisting of parents Peter and Lois; their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie; and their anthropomorphic pet dog Brian. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island, and exhibits much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often lampoon American culture.

Clay mation

Clay animation or claymation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable"—made of a malleable substance, usually Plasticine clay.Traditional animation, from cel animation to stop motion, is produced by recording each frame, or still picture, on film or digital media and then playing the recorded frames back in rapid succession before the viewer. These and other moving images, from zoetrope to films to videogames, create the illusion of motion by playing back at over ten to twelve frames per second

Wallace and Gromit

Wallace and Gromit is a British stop motion comedy film series. Created by Nick Park of Aardman Animations, the series consists of four short films and a feature-length film. The series centres on Wallace, an absent-minded inventor and cheese enthusiast, along with his companion Gromit, an anthropomorphic silent yet intelligent dog.

Cut Out Animation

Cutout animation is a technique for producing animations using flat characters, props and backgrounds cut from materials such as paper, card, stiff fabric or even photographs. The world's earliest known animated feature films were cutout animations (made in Argentina by Quirino Cristiani); as is the world's earliest surviving animated feature.

South Park

South Park is an American adult animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone for the Comedy Central television network. Intended for mature audiences, the show has become famous for its crude language and dark, surreal humor that satirizes a wide range of topics. The ongoing narrative revolves around four boys—Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick—and their bizarre adventures in and around the titular Colorado town.

                         

Building an Audience

Distribution

My first choice is to upload my web series on YouTube because this distribution platform is used by billions of people around the world.  Also YouTube is very popular for advertising as it has a lot of successful careers.

Social Networking 
 I am going to use publish my websites on BEBO and Myspace and tweet some of my friends who follow footballers and the BPL who like football. My second option is to publish my web series in facebook because a lot of people use facebook.

Crowd funding
 Crown funding is a way of getting your audience when going on a kick starter. You can let people know what film you are going to make there fore people can donate towards your film if they obviously like the sound of it and would want it created. When creating a film you need to set a budget, you only have a certain amount of time to reach that budget and if you don't reach your budget in time you don't get the money

Press 
 To get a big audience through the press I would publish my web series in Sport magazines because these magazines are all about football and the leagues and about foott players (transfers ). This will be ideal as  it fits perfectly into what my web series is about 

My animation

The programme i used was called istopmotion3 shich is an animated programme used for stop motion images. This programme is easy to use because every time you take a photo of the image it leaves a shadow of the image which is called onion skin and it helps you create the clip as it shows you where the last picture is so you can place your figure back in the place.

This is my animation so far

Legal constraints in the creative media sectors

 

 

 The libal law is a law in which you can be You can be sued for damages if you publish or broadcast things about a person which are untrue and damage their reputation (defame them) The law was created to protect individuals or organisations from unwarranted, mistaken or untruthful attacks on their reputation. A example would be that a US federal judge in Los Angeles has dismissed David Beckham's claim for libel and slander against a celebrity magazine that alleged he slept with a prostitute.

 

The act of publication obscene defination is content that is "likely to deprave and corrupt" the audience for which it is intended. Lawyers may need to check whether a production breaks this law before it is released. Content such as sexually explicit, violent and/or drug taking is reviewed for suitability. Decisions are made dependent on factors such as age range of the audience, the time a production is broadcast. An example for this law would be The Human Centipede. The BBFC described the central plot of the film as the "sexual arousal of the central character at both the idea and the spectacle of the total degradation, humiliation, mutilation, torture and murder of his naked victim

 

The official Secret Act Law is a law which is a criminal offence to obtain or publish any information from a serving or former member of the security and intelligence services or from certain categories of civil servants or public contractors where that disclosure would be damaging. An example of this law would be that Daniel Houghton, who worked for MI6 between September 2007 and last May, was arrested in a Scotland Yard sting at a central London hotel in March after offering to sell documents to Dutch intelligence agents for £2m.

 

The Copyright Law exists to protect people's creative endeavours so that they can properly benefit from their work. If such protection didn't exist and people were able to copy or sell or profit from another's work, there would be little incentive for people to create in the first place. Programme-makers are responsible for ensuring that all necessary clearances (copyright, trademarks etc.) have been obtained for their programmes. An example of Copyright Law would be a hotographer, Robert Caplin is suing Perez Hilton for copyright infringement after the gossip blogger used photos taken by Mr. Caplin of Glee actor Darren Criss on his site without permission, according to a complaint filed in Los Angeles Federal Court.

 

The Privacy Law defination would be that if a media If a media company publishes information about someone which is information that should be considered private, that is to say, information in respect of which you had a ‘reasonable expectation of privacy’, and then legal action for misuse of private information can be brought under the Human Rights Act 1998. An example of Privacy Law is that staff at a recruitment agency which the News of the World mistakenly believed Milly Dowler was working for received calls from a woman claiming to be the missing schoolgirl's mother, the Old Bailey jury in the phone-hacking trial heard on Wednesday
