 * Design Brief **

Design Specifications
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, I will probably end up with over 10 layers

I will also use the help menu on the program.

I will also ask other people in class.

I will do the following as exercises to learn how to use the program.

Task 1: Stick-man on the Ramp! Does he make it or not? Task 2: Create a Text effects using their name Task 3: Merge a picture into another one and then into a third oneTask 4: Do an animation of a car coming towards any person and either hitting them or missing them. All 4 must be visible on the unit 4 page.

I can make a cartoon video to show and prove a point ,the point will either be a good decision resulting in positive way ,or a bad decision resulting in a bad way. The cartoon video will be made in flash mx 2004 and will show people that we need to think about something before we do it and we need to made the best decision we can.
 * How can I use animation to inform and educate others? **

These are my test videos/animations









__** Design **__ This is my first design, and the one I chose. I think this design is better/more efficient as well as easier to make in flash mx.

This is my second deign. I think this too hard to make and will take too long to make.

This is my third design. I think this design is a bit hard to make and will not work well to answer the unit question.

 * ** Design ** || 20th April || 27th April || No || Paper, pencils, photocopier and flash drive. || I think my design is well detailed and clearly labeled. And I have chosen my first design. || Draw the design and then choose the best on then scan to put on wiki ||

I need to spend lots of time to make it nice, I will also use pics from internet to make it look better. If I do not know how to do something I will ask my teacher or friends. || Look at design and do video in flash MX. then make the design I chose which is the first one, in flash mx. After I am done I will check if I can improve it and do so if I can. ||
 * ** Evaluate ** || 17th May || 24th May || ??? || Word and internet. || I need to explain where I did well and where I could improve for every subject. || Do reflection for each stage and how I can improve. ||

**__Evaluation__** __ Evaluation __

__** Investigation **__ My investigation was good, I had done all of the exercises that were needed for the investigation and I did them in detail and also learned from it. I did the written bit well but I could have added more detail and could have done more and made it better. I think it was good but needed some improvement, so I would rate it 3-4 in the criteria.

__** Design **__ My design was good I drew them in some detail I wrote sentences to explain what was happening, so they were clear. I did three different designs and I stated the one that I chose as well as compare them to each other briefly. I think my designs were good and clear, I could have improved them by drawing them better. I would have given myself a 5-6 using the criteria.

__** Plan **__ My plan was well done and in time, I put it in a graph and it was clear, it was mainly focused on the create stage and was very detailed in it. It showed all of the planning categories needed and I used them effectively as well as put the correct information in them. I would, following the criteria, would give myself a 5-6 on the planning stage.

__** Create **__ My create stage was pretty good, but I was in a rush to complete it and so it did not come out as good as it could have. It was a little unclear and hard to understand because it is fast, it was also not drawn as good as I could have, in the end the message is the same. According to the criteria I would give myself a 3-4 for the create stage.

__** Evaluate **__ I think my evaluation is well thought out and is clear, I think it has all the information is good and relative and I think I included all the information needed and I think I did this well. I think I would get a 4-5.
