The current situation/problem:
The situation is that I need to make an animation to teach people. We can use animation to educate and inform others by making a product showing someone making good or bad decision. The person who made the animation can teach who ever is watching anything they want to teach them.

The Design Brief
We have to make an animation about a stick man in our school environment making a good or bad decision. I decided to make my animation about someone littering and telling the consequences.

The Design Specification
Must follow the story board Must be at least 150 frames long Must have some writing Must have different layers for scene Must be colorful Must make the stick people talk

Tests
= DESIGN =
 * 1) make sure I have 150 frames
 * 2) see if my animation matches the design specification
 * 3) ask someone if there is writing in my animation
 * 4) Ask someone if my final create is colorful
 * 5) ask someone if it follow the story board
 * 6) See if my stick people talk

Design 1
In this Design, two boys Joey and Benny litter they don't know that someone is watching them. The person that was watching them tells the the teacher and the teacher tells the two boys that they need to pick up the trash they littered and they shouldn't do it again. Ups: This design shows that littering isn't good and that if you do litter you can get into serious trouble. Downs:This design isn't very colorful and it doesn't have 6 scenes

Design 2
In this design, there are still the two boys, Joey ans Benny. The boys litter and then go back to class. In class the two boys learn about pollution and how it is bad for you. After class the boys decided to go pick up the trash they littered because they have learned how bad it is to litter. Ups: This design shows that people can learn from their mistakes. Downs: This design isn't very colorful and it doesn't have 6 scenes

Design 3
In this design their is also Joey and Benny, this time only Joey litters and Benny tells the teacher because he knows that it is not the right thing to do. This also shows some of the consequences of polluting in school. You could have detention because most people know that littering is bad but do it anyways. Ups: This design shows that even though your friend made a mistake you should do the right thing. Downs; Not very colorful, doesn't have 6 scenes. In total all three designs are equal, but I decided to use the 3rd design for my final create because it tells people that even though your friends is the one that made the mistake you should tell the teacher or whoever is in charge. You should do this because it is the right thing to do. = PLAN = flash || 30 seconds ||  || flash || 30 seconds || this didn't take long at all ||

= CREATE = media type="file" key="Final Create unit 4 laetitia durand 8JCR.swf" width="336" height="468" = EVALUATE = Investigation: Next time I do this I will need to do the research. Design: I think that the next time I do this I need to follow the design specification more because I needed to put in color but I didn't put much in. The only color there was the color of the boys caps and the color of the stick peoples eyes. Plan: Next time i do this i will need to make the plan more detailed so that I can know what I have to do exactly. Create: I think that next time I do this I will need to make my final product follow the story board more.
