·      

    Create a title image for your iBook

·      Cut your animation into scenes

o   What each scene means to you

o   How you shot/animated each scene (What skills you used)

o   How you solved problems

o   What scenes you deleted

o   What you might have liked to do if you had your time over again

·      Insert the animated scene at the end of each commentary

DIRECTORS COMMENTARY:

Title Scene:

·         Drew the title on the paper to show the effect of the animation being drawn

Scene 1:

·         Scene where the stick figure stands up out of the paper

·         Set the camera up above the paper

·         Had a light set up above the paper to make it clearer

·         Had to reshoot the scene a couple of times

·         Took a while to create this scene

·         Had a lot of trouble filming this scene

·         Had trouble keeping the stick figure standing

·         Had trouble photoshopping out the stick that was used to hold it up – colours and shadows

·         Once up – easier to move

·         Fell down – had to reset him

Scene 2:

·         Very short scene

·         Show the emotion of the stick figure

·         He is shocked because he is out of the paper

·         Photoshopped the shocked expression in

·         Took a few goes to get the zooming in right

Scene 3:

·         Scene where the stick figure falls off the table and onto the floor and stands up

·         Didn’t take long to film

·         Changed the camera angle to show different views of what was happening

·         Camera placed on the ground to show the height he was falling from

·         Changed the view to show where he fell to

·         Dropped him to show the effect of him falling to the ground – took photos quickly to catch the falling motion

·         Crucial part of the storyline

Scene 4:

·         Scene where he walks out of the classroom and goes outside

·         Used blu tack to create the look of him jumping down the ledge

·         Used blu tack to make him stay up – and wire
