**INVESTIGATION**

The current situation/problem:
**__ How can animation be used to inform and educate others? __**

 Most people think that animation is for children, but animation is for all kinds of ages as it has no age limit. Animation is used around the world to help with all sorts of things like: education, management and solving problems. Some animation movies that have helped me are: Mickey Mouse Club House, Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Phineas and Ferb, Johnny Bravo, Bubble Guppies, Higgly Town Heroes, Popeye, Little Einstein’s and TeleTubbies etc. These animation shows have helped me by opening my mind up to creativity, learning how to count, read, do the alphabet, teaching me not to be a snitch/tell-on because it never works, listening to other people because they can also help you, being happy whenever something goes wrong- having a positive attitude towards everything and eat vegetables. Some of the ways this helped was because of the songs and riddles, the poems and rhymes and the amazing graphics of animation and design.  Animation is used everywhere around the world to help with: tragedy or pain, inspiring and informing, educating children through animated games, graphic and designing and it helps with getting over issues like being bullied.

Till today people are still making online websites to do with animation example: [|www.FRIV.com] and [|www.miniclips.com] these animation sights aren’t just made for children to go have fun but for children to also get educated, I went onto this sight called : [] and it is made by Randy Glasbergen, he has made a new website all about educational animated games, his website includes education technology, cartoons about computers in the classroom, cartoons about elementary education, cartoons about high school education, cartoons about college, cartoons about tuition, cartoons about homework, cartoons about report cards, cartoons about grades, cartoons about testing, math cartoons, science cartoons, cartoons about language, cartoons about grammar, cartoons about teachers, cartoons about student teachers, cartoons about school safety, cartoons about school security, cartoons about school policy, cartoons about school administration, cartoons about school principle, cartoons about students, cartoons about book reports, cartoons about plagiarism, cartoons about Wikipedia, cartoons about the Internet, cartoons about Google, cartoons about continuing education, cartoons about tutoring, cartoons about school activities, cartoons about graduation, cartoons about school awards, cartoons about tenure, cartoons about school uniforms.

 Animation is used in war! Soldiers train using animated characters as they pretend to be the characters in a virtual world. When the World War 1 occurred animated cartoons allowed the government to spread their message worldwide about war bonds, one way they did it was by promoting Bugs Bunny, they got him to sing and dance about war bonds and many many people watched it! World War 2 changed animation, as they made it for children; they turned the attack on Pearl Harbor into an animated show in something like Bugs Bunny and it educated children in a reassuring way. The films included the training and education of the soldiers.

Adobe flash is a 2D animation instrument that helps to create a bigger world in business, education and entertainments. In the medical world they use short animation films to help the patients become at ease, (these films are usually played at surgical matters) these films are called medical animations which are mostly used as a tool for medical professionals or their patients. A few years ago they would have models but because of evolution medical animations have helped various patients- and till today they are improving on these computer graphics.  From my perspective I believe that animation can help tone down things a bit for instance, say you were a pregnant mother for the first time and you were scared to give birth, seeing visuals that make you laugh and relax would be so helpful. When you are at the airport and you see those pictures of not having knifes, or over 50ml bottles etc they don't only get the adult’s attention but the children’s too as they find the pictures or videos fun to look at.  There used to be a show called Oz. and it was made by Dr.Oz and he had been doing his show for years, it was about the human body, and just recently he found out that using pictures and video clips of his work would get more viewers, one of his episodes were played and he used visuals In that episode and more people than ever started to watch the show, as he did not only make it educational for parents but interesting for children too. Dr.Oz built on the effectiveness of good communication and he worked hard to do it but in the end he got a lot of people to watch his show and get educated by it. From that day hospitals that perform surgeries everyday learnt from that and started tapping into the formula that animation helps more than a lot of things.  The popularity of animation films, clips and videos that inform and educate others has increased a lot since the beginning of design and graphics. This technology allows individual educators to writer their own animations without the want for a specialist’s knowledge. Teachers are no more restricted to relying on still graphics (pictures, 2D stationary cartoons) but educational animations.  Although animation is so awesome, and is very good at educating people of all ages it does have some negative aspects like: it has caused many syndromes to children, there are being new characters made in this generation and these characters have a bad mind towards everything, a negative attitude and these characters are aggressive; characters today may influence the children to be off-putting when socializing. The big thing that these animations are doing is breaking the children’s behaviors’ to learning; this is happening because the person that is making these animated films are getting frustrated in life and taking out all their anger into these things we call cartoons, and cartoons are basically made for children. The objective here is to make children get an d=education in life and some animations do try but others are just hurting children  From my perspective I believe that there are more than a lot of animated cartoons, films, and short videos that not only educate children but adults to and it helps them in short term and long term, this is why I think animation has impacted on us, the 21st generation so well.

The Design Brief
An animation about stick man in our school environment making a good or bad decision.

The Design Specification
Must follow the story board Must have 6 scenes Must be at least 150 frames long Must have some writing i.e. to introduce a scene or some talking Must have different layers for scene, you will probably end up with over 10 layers Must have some pictures from the internet-that aren't mine but related to the topic Have a layer where the stick man/people are walking Must be a clear story Children must understand Must have colour Must have talking

Tests
i will get three people to look at my story bored and see if my design fits the aim of the unit i will get those same three people to see if i have at least 6 scenes and maximum 8 scenes the three people will look to see if my animation is 150 frames long the three people should see that i have writing i will have layers for each scene and i will probably end up with 10 scenes Do i have some pictures from the internet? Is there a layer where people are walking? Is my animation sort of a clear story? Do you think children would understand this? Is my story clear? Does my create/final animation have some sort of colour in it? Is there talking in my create/final animation? what could i add in? how could i improve? what do you like about my idea or animation? does my animation fit the idea of the unit 4 question/problem

MY ANALYSIS IS IN IT TOO :)
= PLAN =

THIS IS MY FINAL PIECE AND EVERYTHING IS NOW NEW AND HOPEFULLY PERFECT ALL MY WORK IS IN THIS WORD FILE

= FINAL VERSION - THIS IS MY SWIF FILE =

Modification: during this part of the unit i was able to make my animation what i believe is a good standard, although i did make some changes to it. some of the changes i made were: layer, i just adjusted it a bit so it could make more sense
 * i did not have the writing on the same layer
 * instead of human like figures i had stick people just to make my life easier
 * it was hard to colour the shirts of the people so i sort of left them blank
 * i left out one of the scenes as they weren't that important
 * i added in one picture that wasn't in my design but it fit the story or the scene very well
 * in the beginning of my animation i had some writing in my design so i put the same piece of writing on the
 * instead of having the stick figures cry i just got pictures from the internet
 * and i got a smiley face to show that the bullied person was really happy

Otherwise i kept everything quite normal and i didn't change my design to some large extent just made a few alterations here and there and i am happy i did so as i made my creation is this much better, i don't think could have done anything more to make i look better than it already is! :) :)
