//__ Animation __//
 * Name:**

How can animation be used to inform and educate other?
As a pre-unit exercise we went on Flash, a program for making animation with drawings and it then plays all the pictures after each other fast and you get an small animation. Our exercise was to go on Flash and we should make a stick man and make him move or walk, then we could if wanted, make him do an action, E.G. jump over a stone.

**Definition of Animation**: Animation is a rapid display of sequence of images, that then creates an illusion of frames playing fast.

Animation Technique (Basic Description)
Traditional animation is hand drawn animation, which is used very commonly for animation movies in the 20th century. Each frame of this process is either a photograph or a drawn picture, but it is traditionally done by a photograph of the drawn picture. To make the best effect with the movie, the pictures should be almost the same only with small differences to get it move when all the pictures is set together.

The animation consist of six frames:

This animation example moves 10 frames per second.

**The current situation/problem:** The situation is that a stick man will make a decision that will affect him in an either good or bad way in his school and that he will be changed from his experiences that will help the viewers to learn and be educated from the film and learn not or to do in their own situations.

**The Design Brief** Making a stick man movie where he is in BMIS' school environment, then the stick man makes a good or bad decision in order with the school, that gives him consequences or rewards.

= DESIGN =

**Analyze** Design 1: Layers: This design is based on three layers, the man that is climbing the mountain, the background trees and the killer on the other side of the mountain trying to shoot the other man. (Actually the is a fourth layer and that is the mountains where almost everything in this animation is based on.)

Actions: This design has some different action happening in the animation, the men that is fighting wouldn't be interesting if there wasn't any destruction of something, like the killer man with a grenade launcher shooting at the man an the rocks flies everywhere and the man was almost about to fall down.

Design 2: Layers: There are the two high platforms and the spiky ground under in the bottom, as one layer, then the line as one layer, the object that is holding the line as one layer. Then there is the stick man that is bungee jumping is one layer, the man with the bow and arrow that is the killer is one layer.

Actions: The man that is bungee jumping he will jump and exactly when he jumps down the killer will come out of the opposite platform and shoot an arrow against the man that will miss him but the man will land on the arrow and the killer will shoot again and hit the man in the face, then the man falls down and hanging as his line is still holding him for the bungee jump, the killer shoot and hits the line into two, the man falls and gets splatted on the spiky rocks.

I chose design 1 to make in create, because it is most realistic as video flowing way and it is most exciting.

This plan is OK, for its use basically, because it is quite detailed but lower down in the plan it becomes more general than specific and detailed about every single step in the progress of using the computer. In my explanations I should have written how to do it, more specifically and not about what is happening in each step. In the process of making the plan I should also have put in an extra column for what objects I was required to use in each step for example: mouse, keyboard, screen ETC.

= CREATE =

Animation:
media type="file" key="David PLank Create Unit 4.swf" width="1004" height="719"

Changes to the design & plan: There are quite a lot changes to the design in the animation, because when the process of making it, there some things that are dependent on the plan and that are more difficult to succeed in, like for example i changed; the talking in the animation, like "oh no" instead of "arrgh" and "dead" instead of "you shall die", since in that case there weren't enough room in the animation. Also I realized that the background layer should be the same I convinced myself, but then I forgot about when the gun shoots on the side of the cliff and that in my design the should be a big hole in the side of the cliff and since it is the background and already there, I just did without coming a hole there. It affected the plan so I couldn't make the hole so I didn't follow my plan there. I chose to place the sun out with the cloud, because it was more realistic and more relevant. So in the plan the layer of the cloud is changed to the sun and the sun is motion tween, so it moves very little around to give it a final touch.



Explanation of Evidence:
This screenshot shows the working of the create and evidence of the specifications that are required in the create. My creation follows the storyboard, as you can see in the animation and it has 6 scenes within it. But my animation isn't 150 frames long, it is quite faster, there is writing in the animation to represent something in my case it is emotions from reactions of the stick men. I have 5 layers were all are named after the object or person that is used in the animation. There is used motion tween with the superman and the sun to give it more flow, but not the best flow I could have done.

Improvements on the Final Create
The thing ´s that could have been done differently were first of all the length of the animation wasn't long enough, it should have been 150 frames least, but it was only about 60 frames long. The animation could have been extended with each scene to be twice or three times as long with just the same thing happening so the viewer also can get a grip of what is going in the animation. The fps was to low so the motion tween didn't work satisfactory, the speed was to low and it more or less start stop start stop in a way that didn't get the effect of smoothness and low like a real animation. I should also have used more motion tween with the characters and effects, since it gives it equally spread out gaps between each frame.

Evaluate Against Design Specification
My animation is overall okay and follows all specification except one, which I know could have been completed when I was in the create stage, but is now too late.

 * ==Design Spec.== || == Must follow the story board. == || ==X== ||  || It follows not completely my storyboard, but it is only the objects in the animation I made changes on. ||
 * ==Design Spec.== || == Must have 6 scenes. == || ==X== ||  || It has 6 scenes and it works good within the film and it makes the animation more understandable. ||
 * ==Design Spec.== || == Must be at least 150 frames long == ||  || ==X== || It does not have 150 frames, but it went too fast so i reduced the .fps so you could read the text and know what is going on in the animation. ||
 * ==Design Spec.== || == Must have some writing i.e. to introduce a scene or some talking. == || ==X== ||  || It has some speaking in it to make it more interesting and funnier. It makes the animation more appealing also. ||
 * ==Design Spec.== || ==Must have different layers for scene, minimum 5 layers.== || ==X== ||  || It has 5 different layers to make it easier to control all the different objects and stick men. The layers were all named so you knew which was which. ||
 * ==Design Spec.== || == Must flow fluently as a film. == || ==X== ||  || Not perfectly, because the gaps between the frames were too big. And the fps was to little. ||
 * ==Design Spec.== || == Must be some action in. == || ==X== ||  || It has action in it and that it is quite funny also. It is funny because the explosions also look quite good. ||
 * ==Design Spec.== || ==Must be educational. == || ==X== ||  || It has educational content, that it is dangerous to use and play with guns and weapons. And that it's dangerous to climb mountains. ||
 * ==Design Spec.== || ==Must look interesting and appealing.== || ==X== ||  || It is interesting because of the action and the red color it gets the viewers attention and interest. ||

Test Results Graph:


This graph shows the success of the product via the tests. My create has been tested of three of my friends Ahsen, Adam and Ashnee. They rated each test which referred with the animation, out of 10, so the bar graph shows their all three ratings put together from each test and the max. each test can get is 30. The colors on the right of the graph shows what test it was and which bar it fits to.

The test turned out as I expected within the individual test and what i did for create. The funny and enjoy tests were quite high since its quite funny, but the quality and appropriate tests were quite low, because it wasn't top good. The animation was little appropriate, but not perfectly since it had violence in, but it told people that don't use weapons.

The Design Cycle Evaluate:
In the investigation I could have written much more research about what the problem is and used all the research on the design specification. My problem wasn't a problem more like a situation which didn't work with my rest of the stages. My design brief isn't matching together with what my final product and what it became. My design spec. is okay, but I should have put more of my own specifications in it from the research i did, I put some of my own anyhow. The tests were fine towards my final create and it worked together with the balance of rating from my friends. Some of the tests were quite odd, with my create for example, "Is it realistic?", because it isn't... There is superman in it. My plan is good and detailed and it has the due dates and explanation of what each step does. I should maybe have written more detail in the explanations. My designs are acceptable, but they should have been colored in and neater. I didn't evaluate my designs against my design spec. so my marks went down since it is important for the design stage. My create is but there are some things that could have been done better easily, I realized now. (I have evaluated my create above). My evaluate stage is good and I've made a graph to represent more easily my tests. I have explained in detail, each stage and evaluated each of them.
