**Unit question: How can animation be used to help others?**
Animation can be used to help others because people are more likely to listen and watch an animation than listen to people talking to them. Animation can help people as well because it can teach people, it can show advertisements about products that can help people… etc. animations can be used by teachers who want to make classes more interesting. Animation can also be used for people that just want to watch something funny, that can help people… with boredom. Animation can be used for anything. Animation can be used to inform and educate others because in animation you can make anything happen. You can make a short animation about a civil war, you can give presentations, and you can make learning fun by using animations.

Tests:

 * 1) Ask somebody to see if my animation has followed the story board.
 * 2) Ask somebody if my animation has at least six scenes.
 * 3) Count the frames to see if I have 150.
 * 4) Ask somebody if they can see writing in my animation when it is finished.
 * 5) See if my animation has different layers.
 * 6) Ask myself if it is simple and was simple to do.
 * 7) Ask somebody else if they see colors.

= DESIGN =

I decided to do an animation about someone at school littering, and then a teacher tells them off.

Design 1
Design one is about a student littering and getting in trouble by the teacher. There will be 4 layers: the main character (student), the teacher, the bin and the speeches.

Design Specifications
Must have at least 6 scenes- no Must be at least 150 frames long- no  Must have some writing- yes Must have different layers- yes Must be simple to do- yes Must have colors- yes

This design is about a student getting pressured into littering by his friends, even though he doesn't really want to. He then gets in trouble by the teacher. The layers are: 1 main character (guy who litters) 2 friend on the left 3 friend on the right 4 packet (litter) 5 speech 6 teacher

Design Specifications
Must have at least 6 scenes- no Must be at least 150 frames long- no  Must have some writing- yes Must have different layers- yes Must be simple to do- yes Must have colors-yes

Design 3
This design is about a student at school who litters, because the bin is too far away. Then he gets in trouble with the teacher. The layers are: 1- main character (student) 2- speech 3- bin 4- packet/litter 5- teacher 6- teachers speech

Design Specifications
Must have at least 6 scenes- no Must be at least 150 frames long-no Must have some writing-yes Must have different layers-yes Must be simple to do-yes Must have colors-yes

I will be doing design three because it looks easier and I will be able to change it easily if I have to do and it is very simple.

**PLAN** = = = CREATE = = = In create; I will be doing design three. The animation will be about a student in school who litters, and then gets in trouble with a teacher. = = I think that getting in trouble with a teacher isn't a bad enough punishment, so at the end I will show a picture showing litter getting piled up on one place and how it used to be beautiful and now it isn't. = = This animation starts with a random student outside, with a lays packet. When the student is finished, he throws the packet to the ground, even thought there is a bin close by. He begins walking away until a teacher stops him and makes him pick up the packet and put it in the bin. She tells him why littering is not good with these words: “If everyone littered, the world wouldn't be a beautiful place anymore.”The animation will end showing a picture of a lot of litter in a place, with a line through it. But I messed up the timing that the teacher comes in, it should be after he drops it. I decided to change the animation a bit from the design because I added more colors, i thought that would make it look more interesting.

= EVALUATE =


 * In investigation**

I think I got a 2 because I haven’t done my research. Next time I will put in lots of research and follow the criteria in order to get the highest mark.


 * In design**

I think I got a 0 because I didn’t upload the designs. Next time I will upload them on time and make sure they are good quality and simple to do.


 * In plan**

I think I got a 1 or 2 because I put in very little detail. Next time I will put in more detail and write down the exact dates. I should also write in the comments I did anything else that day or if I made any changes to the plan.


 * In create**

I think I got a 1 or 2 because I haven’t finished it and it isn’t very high quality. Next time I should start earlier and make sure to save my work so I don’t lose it and have to start over again.
