= INVESTIGATION =

The current situation/problem:
Stickman is in school and he is going to make a bad decision and something will happen. That something will be bad.

The Design Brief
An animation about stick man in our school environment making a bad decision. = Task = media type="file" key="adampinfoldunit4.stickmanramp1.swf" width="360" height="270" media type="file" key="adampinfolduni4.texteffects2.swf" width="360" height="270" media type="file" key="adampinfoldunit4.merge3.swf" width="360" height="270" media type="file" key="adampinfoldunit4.car4.swf" width="360" height="270"

The Design Specification
I must follow the story board I must at least 6 scenes I must be at least 150 frames long I must have some writing i.e. to introduce a scene or some talking I must have different layers for scene, I will probably end up with over 10 layers

=** UNIT QUESTION ANSWER **=
 * You can inform an educate others with an animation by... making warnings for example, you could draw a stick man walking across the rode who gets hit by a car because he was being careless maybe distracted by playing a video game which would symbolize either don't get distracted walking across the rode or don't play video games while walking. You could also educate others by**

Design 3
**Design Justification** = = I chose design 3 because I specialize in that kind of animation (lots of unnecessary animations). I don’t think that it might have been the best idea to use to symbolize cheating but I think that it will get the message out most effectively and catch more people’s attention. I also like the plot of the design the most. It was a great eye catcher. = PLAN =

This is my final create it is a bit different than my design but it gets the same message out while providing some comedy so my audience will stay interested and hopefully watch untill the end. I had made a different design but it did not contain layers or motion tweens at the right places. This create has a lot of irrelevant things and does not match my design very well. I also think that the words could have lingered a bit longer so they could be read because people who saw my animation complained that the words where moving too fast so they couldnt get a read on it especialy for the longer paragraphs and part of the humor of the video was the words in it so that was unfortunate. **EVALUATE**

**__ Evaluate __**

I do not think that I did that good in this unit because I could never upload my design until recently and my investigation was not complete (no tests). My first create was very entertaining but I had not used motion tweens in the right places. So I made another one. This one was not as entertaining and the words where a bit jumpy but it got the job done (if you want to look at my first create look at the bottom of the page). My plan was probably the best out of the design cycle but I could have done more detail in it and possibly add a flow chart to make It easier to understand. When people where judging my work they gave me a higher mark than I gave myself this suggests that they enjoyed it more than I did and that the message I was trying to project was understood. I enjoyed this unit a lot and if I got to do it again I would put a lot more effort. What I would need to improve would be to make the words last longer because part of the humor was in the words and if you couldn't read the words you would not laugh this was my objective, to make people laugh.

|| 3 || Because I did not spend time on it after school or put in the extra effort || Put in more effort. || media type="file" key="adampinfoldunit4.create2013.stickmancheatingbreakin.swf" width="360" height="270" This was the first create I did but it did not include motion tweens in the right place so I made another one which is my current create. I put this up because I personally enjoyed it more than the other and I am sure you will too. Enjoy.
