How can animation be used to inform and educate others?

 * Pre-Unit exercise (if any)**

= INVESTIGATION =

**The current situation/problem**
====The current situation problem is that I have to find out a way to make an animation where I can inform others telling them a good decision or a bad decision. I have to make sure it tells somebody what they should do if they are in a huge problem. For example, I could teach them not to run near the swimming area which would be a __good__ thing because I am __teaching__ that to others, to not run. This way they can learn because they know what the bad consequences will be if they run and fall. So this is how I can tell them something good to do or something bad. It is a big problem because I have to find a suitable topic in which I can inform others. The point of all of this is to answer the unit question that is the problem I have to sort out. The unit question is 'how can animation be used to inform and educate others.====

**RESEARCH**
media type="file" key="Ashnee Rajani UNIT 4.steps.swf" width="360" height="270" Here is an example I tried to make, it is a person taking a bad decision by running near steps. Which was very dangerous for him!!!

**The Design Brief**
====I have decided that I will show an animation of telling it is bad to do things you are already aware of, as in running by steps when you already know what's going to happen. Or even littering when you know you actually have to recycle. I will decide what topic I will do as the unit passes since I 've not thought of it. I will solve this problem by using an animation programme and also making the storyboard sensible enough to make others aware of their responsibility. I will have to make an animation about a stick man in our school environment making a good or bad decision.====

The Design Specification,

 * 1) ====should follow the story board====
 * 2) ====Must have 6 scenes====
 * 3) ====Must be at least 150 frames long====
 * 4) ====Must have some writing ex. I want to talk through the scene or give an introduction====
 * 5) ====Must have different layers for scene, the layers can be to 10 or over (should be more than atleast 10 layers)====
 * 6) ====My animation will look attractive which will make people watch it again and again====
 * 7) ====Should be quality with absolutely no mistakes, that will confuse others====
 * 8) ====I should use Motion tweens atleast in some scenes====
 * 9) ====There should be atleast some movement for the text. For example waves, circles and many more====
 * 10) ====I will add as much as colour I can to make it colourful and bright. So it can be outstanding (but not so bright).====
 * 11) ====Make sure it is not so complicated, so that the viewers can easily understand the message====

I will tell a friend to test it against the design specification, so that I can know if I have completed the tasks. It will be tested on,
//**These tests will be tests using a table, ticking YES or NO.**//
 * 1) ====Did the final follow the storyboard planned?====
 * 2) ====Did atleast have 6 scenes?====
 * 3) ====Is it atleast 150 frames long?====
 * 4) ====Did it have any writing whether it's introducing or scene telling?====
 * 5) ====Were there atleast more than 10 layers?====
 * 6) ====Was it attractive?====
 * 7) ====Were there any mistakes, or did it confuse you?====
 * 8) ====Did I use motion tweens?====
 * 9) ====Was there movement in the text?====
 * 10) ====Did I make it colourful?====
 * 11) ====Were you able to understand the message I was trying to tell you, was it too complicated to understand?====

**How can animation be used to inform and educate others?**
====There are different type of animations made for different purposes they can be for entertainment, comedy, education and many more. Animation can be showing us the world in a way we didn't even observe it before. Basically there are many ways to prove something or to indicate a message through animation.No matter how simple an animation will be it will always mean the same thing, whether it has 2 pictures or 3 it will still mean something and you will straightaway get it in your mind. In the modern world today animation will be used in a complicated way, to prove a message, which may be difficult to understand but eventually you will get it after watching it again and again. Animations are mainly used everywhere it can be used for advertisements, planning something, or even showing comedy animations to public and you can make it as much as funny as you want to entertain the audience. There are many animation programmes in which you can make your own animation. I am going to use Flash MX 2004.==== ====Animations can make a students learning develop much faster because it can help students learn faster. At the same time it can be an aid for teachers because animation can be used to explain difficult subjects when it is hard to explain. Such subjects would involve mathematics such as algebra or even imagination. For example in science, the flow of electricity current is invisible. The electricity circuit is kind of hard to explain, so if you can findout through animation then you may never know the unit could be more understandable and amusing. Animation is actually really useful after what I have said. You have to though make sure your animation is not too bright otherwise it may disturb the viewers to see the text and just leave the animation. For example if you have a black background with blue text, then it would be very difficult to read and understand. If you make 2 things move at the same time like a man with flaming fire then they would concentrate on the fire and see what's going to happen to it and just miss out the important thing and message, you should actually make it with correct use of colours like black and white or pink and purple. Animation is better than listening to the boring long... long... lectures. Animation is fast to understand and is the best way to educate others. I would prefer teachers to try this new skill. We already do this in science, the science teacher shows us things liks how a white blood cell engulfs bacteria, this way BMIS students can learn better.====

If children learn animation they will learn new skills like,

 * 1) ====telling a story through animation- a project they have to present in front of class====
 * 2) ====visual communication- Understand something visually====
 * 3) ====creative-expressive animation- They get engaged with music, danse and other art forms brings self expression====
 * 4) ====Problem solving- after they have learnt the animation method====
 * 5) ====Concentration- They gain a lot of concentration after getting excited to watch an animation====
 * 6) ====Language development- New language skills====
 * 7) ====Working together with other people they don't know====

= STORYBOARD RESEARCH =

**Why make a storyboard?**
====Creating a stroyboard will help you plan your animation shot by shot. You can make your own changes before you start creating your animation. Making a storyboard will help you talk about your storyboard, as in talk it through which will be much easier if someone asks and you can show your planning.====

Your storyboard can include information like,

 * ====What characters are there? How will they be moving?====
 * ====What are the characters saying to each other?====
 * ====How much time there is between your frames?====
 * ====Where is the camera in the scene? IS it close or far? Will the camera be moving?====

**How to make one?**
====Commonly you draw storyboards with penicils so that you can earase any mistakes you made. You can make it anyhow, like on a computer, or cut out pictures from a magazine. You have to keep in mind, that it doesn't have to be so fancy, it is just a normal sketch.====

A simple storyboard would be like this one above. You can see it is sketched not that fancy, and you can understand the message it's saying if you look at each scene. (PICTURE)
= DESIGN =

** Design 1 **


====**Story-** This story is about a kid who went to the swimming pool area early at break time. His friends follow him, and they suggest they should all play tag together. Then as a joke they pretend to push James in the water, where he actually falls in hitting his head on the bottom of the pool and starts to bleed continuously. The teacher hears a splash and by then the children had escaped. The teacher helps James out of the pull, and the nurse is called. She tries to pick up James but he is too heavy so he just drags him over rocks and plants causing him to bleed more and more. He wakes up and find himself in the nurse room, the nurse was playing 'Angry Birds'. The nurse tells him to go to class and the teacher who saved him asks how he fell in and he blames the children who were in a math class, and they all get DETENTION. It ends with a title saying 'Don't run around swimming pool area!!!.' With a cross bone.====

||

**Final Choice**
====My choice from all the Designs was design 1, because it met most of the design specifications. I found this design easier because then I could find all the pictures I need for some, whereby in some designs it is really difficult for me to find pictures. Design 1 follows a simple message that is not too complicated, the rest are to complicated and it will be to hard to make them move fast at some scenes or some parts that will be complicated for me to do. I thought design 1 would be more simpler and of good quality for people to understand. I really liked all the designs, but I chose this one. I think my final create will look nice and realistic.==== ====**Theme for all the Designs-** The Theme for all of this was to not be mean to others, be nice and caring, don't boss other people and you are getting bossed then fight for yourself, this is the main idea I am portraying in all of my storyboards. Don't be mean or control others per your wish.====

**Some changes I might make are,**

 * ====Adding more scenes to make the animation story to make it more funny, this way I can amaze my viewers.====
 * ====Adding more layers that include speech bubbles mainly, since I don't have much speech bubbles throughout the scene.====
 * ====Titles maybe in the beginning or in the end giving a type of message.====
 * ====Adding more layers, and after making the plan I have more frames, so it might be more than 200.====
 * ====Taking images from the internet, this was not really my intention but I think it would be great to use a picture from the internet, since it would be easier.====

 * Modifications Made**
 * 1) ====I changed the scene a bit because, I found it very complicated to make all those 8 scenes. It was complicated because it was hard making the detailed bits I added. For example the part where I wanted the Nurse to play Angry Birds, I didn't add that. For some bits I added where a stickamn explodes saying don't do this. In this last bit I put a picture of a baby, saying "I will be carefull next time" and then a man saying "You don't Say!!!"====
 * 2) ====For the Text bits I made it last for more seconds because when I tested it, the text skimmed through very fast and people were not able to read it.====
 * 3) ====I used the same scene idea which involved a guy falling in swimming pool, since his friends betrayed him.====
 * 4) ====I had more than 150 scenes. I also had more than 10 layers, I had hoped for about 10-20 but I got over 30.====
 * 5) ====I changed the Introduction and Conlusion TEXT. Introduction= Different format of writing "Don't Cheat on Others!!!" and Conclusion= "Don't Cheat on others!!!" Rather than writing don't run around swimming pool area.====
 * 6) ====I also decided that I would make the Animation 10 frames per second, but I changed it to 8 frames per second. This was because it was hard to reach the speeches and movement of the stick-mans.====

====I had made a lot of changes because I did not include scenes I had designed becasue it was very complicated for me to do some parts. It was possible but too hard. I think this one that I planned by mind was successful and I was able to complete every Design Specification Stage. I am happy with my Final Create and I was also able to amaze most of my friends at some parts of the animation. I've got to say this unit is really hard because you really want to make a successful animation that can entertain others by making it complicated but when you do it. It is actually really hard. I think I should've not made a complicated design and before I planned out all the Designs I decided to choose the most complicated one thinking I would be able to do it, but it didn't really work out. :(====

__**PROOF FOR FINAL CREATE**__
= EVALUATE = ====Below is a table of my product getting Evaluated against the Design Specification, by Me and my other friends, they have to give a score out of 5 and then I will make a bar graph and compare it to what I think and see for any similarities and differences. I will get this tested by 8 people including me.====

Below is a bar graph illustrating this data, I first totaled all the Tests by Row and then put it in a bar graph to compare. My bar graph results turned out to be pretty good.
====Above, you can see the results are quite high at every stage of the Design Specification. I thought I did really bad it's just that I got some parts low such as the 'quality of my Final Create' and also 'Must follow the storyboard.' These 2 specifications were actually really difficult for me because it was impossible for me to make it really perfect, with no stops at all because I know I would've had mistakes somewhere and if I would've changed it, then I would have to start all over again or I would have to move the Key frames. Though, you can see I got a high number mostly in the rest of the Specifications. I was hoping for mostly a score out of 30, and in most levels I did reach 30. I got about 4 specifications at the highest which is a good sign that I did do a good job making this animation. I was always first regretting I should've not chosen this design, but now I don't. This is because I've noticed my friends have made a good compliment about this product, they actually think it is really good, and I'm happy about that!!! :) I thought it would first turn out to be bad. There was a way I sorted out my problems and I did this by making my first Final Product. But then I got comments like,====
 * ====Its to jumpy====
 * ====I can't get what you wrote on the Speech Bubbles====
 * ====I don't get the message etc.....====

So then I made a new version and turned out to be more attractive. This time I got positive comments such as,
====I really like my Evaluate and I think I did a good job informing others that betraying, or cheating on others is not a good idea. The only thing to do is forget about and move on in life. My Animation was about a stick-man called BOB, who is very smart and his friends get jealous and decide to push him. A teacher saves him and is treated by the Nurse. He goes back to class and tells his Science Teacher his friends pushed him. The Teacher gives the Kids DETENTION and finishes of by text saying "Don't Cheat on Others!!!" and also a Baby saying "I will be careful," and then a picture of a guy saying "You don't say!"====
 * ====Epic====
 * ====Cool====
 * ====Smart etc..........====

====For next time I would make a proper Design, with simpler movement and speeches because I first went for complicated and it really was complicated that it was hard for me to make and so that's why I had to make it simpler. So for next time I will make a simple storyboard so I can follow it better. For next time I will also use my time in an efficient way because it took me really long and I had to finish it in one day. I could make my animation flow because the bar was low, and I also think it was to jumpy so I could have improved on that as well. People sometimes were not able to understand the message so I could've done better and make it perfect. Lastly make it look attractive with contrasting colors that go with the animation. If I would've been able to do this next time then I think it would look perfect. My animation didn't flow because I was out of time and I did it all in a rush, so as before I mentioned I should've used my time wisely.==== ====__** INVESTIGATE- **__ I had two parts to improve on my grade. They were the **current/situation problem**, I had to improve on things like using the example of my idea. Which was 'Don't Cheat on others!' I didn't state the problem that clearly. To improve next time I would write and relate it to the unit question because that's what I have to solve, and also use a range of sources to explain this problem. The next thing I had to improve was the **Design Brief**, This was where I had to include the answer to my problem, of how I am going to solve. To improve next time I will write the 5 w's and 1 h. For example Why-To inform others of good and bad choices, What- Animation etc etc. This way I would be able to justify myself. ==== ====** __ DESIGN- __ ** For the Design Stage I just missed out on one bit, which was not justifying all my designs against the other ones. I just related it to the Design Specification. I didn't really much justify at the part where it says **Justification**. For next time I will justify each design properly to gain a top grade. ==== ====__** PLAN- **__ For my plan I gained a top grade, so I don't really have anyhting to improve on but if I want to add more detail or do something then I would list the Changes I would make in a list and explain why I would do that so I can see if these Modifications would help me make my animation better. Otherwise I think I have done a good job in my plan and continue on to get top grades (6). ==== ====__** CREATE- **__ For my create I think I did a good job looking at the graph I can say everyone liked it and was a good idea to inform and educate others. I also gave proof of print screens showing I added layers, Motion Tweens, Text, Color etc. I also listed the Modification made and I had a lot of changes. I think I did a good job at this stage of the Design Cycle because I followed every part of the Assessment Criteria, otherwise I think I did a great job and keep on following this idea. ==== ====__** EVALUATE- **__ For my Evaluate stage, I also think I did a good job. I made other people test my design, and got a good result out of it. I analysed the graph and also wrote how I can improve each stage of the Design Cycle and also Evaluated it against the Design Specification. I thin I have done good throughout the whole Design Cycle. ====

//I have improved my grade better this time because I followed the Assessment criteria. It helped me a lot this time because it mentioned what we had to do in full detail and so improved to a higher level.//
