Aims and Objectives Planner

Title of Today's Lesson:

My Aims and Objectives for Today are:

How to Stretch and Challenge Myself

For Today's Lesson this will mean:

Remembering:	I remembered how Kevin taught us
Understanding:	I understand its stylistic choice ,similar but different to filming.
Applying:	I applied it by creating my piece
Analysing:	could've been more consistent and filled with more visual stimulus.
Evaluating:	7/10 for effort 4/10 for end result
Creating:	see below.

Reflection during lesson

How am I doing so far:
I accomplished the goal of creating a smallPixilation clip


Reflection at end of lesson:
Good lesson although i wish i coudlve had time to plan a concept for the production

Devils sin:Lust

Devils sin lust is a short cut out animation style film. This was made using magazine cutouts and one small drawing of a heart. the method we used was a 90 degree camera pointing down taking individual frames as i moved the stills around giving the illusion of movement .The story consisted of the devil offering his heart to an angel getting rejected and then falling to lust by calling a sex line.

History Of Animation

History Of Animation

Persistance of vision

Persistance of vision is the idea that when our brain cannot process where data or images are missing our brain creates images or thoughts to fill in the gaps the reason for this is so our brain can make a more based decision on the situation making you think you know all the data when you do not. This is important in animation as it allows the production to use less frames and allows the viewers brain to be more involved.

ZoeTrope

A Zoetrope is one of the most commonly known forms of old animation where usually 12+ images were placed in a circular "Drum"like object and since the images are so closely related the Persistance of vision effect kicks in and our brain creates a short clip to watch based of the images This could be considered the first form of Gif.

Phenakistoscope  

Similar to the Zoetrope the phenakistoscope uses the principal of Persistence of Vision to create the ideal of motion and is the predecessor of the common flip book.

Thaumatrope 

A thaumatrope is another example of a device that uses persistance of vision where is singe piece of material twirls to create a single image form two, This, unlike the others was more so considered a toy compared to the others suited for all ages.
