The current situation/problem:
The current situation/problem is that I have to crate an animation of a stick man around school and he is going to make a good or bad decision and something good or bad will happen. I am going to be using Flash MX 2004 to create this animation. I am going to make some testes and one of my class mates can check it out if it is good and clear. My animation will answer the unit question "How can I use animation to inform and educate others?" one way or another.

Design 2
__**//What is it about?://**__ The stick-man (Bob) runs near the swimming pool and falls into the swimming pool drowns and asks for help the life guard saves him and tells him not to run near the swimming pool while his hurt and then him sitting in the crowd saying do not run next to the swimming pool. __//**How**// **long?:**__ About 15 frames in each scene. __**Layers?:**__ No running sign, stick-man running and falling into swimming pool, stick-man saying help and drowning, stick-man getting hurt, stick-man getting saved by life guard and being told not to run near the swimming pool and stick-man sitting in the crowd telling people no to run near the swimming pool.

Design 3
__//**What is it about?:**//__ The stick-man running in the corridors and bumps into a flower pot and gets hurt and then a teacher helps him up and tells him not to run in the corridors. __**//How// long?:**__ About 10 frames in each scene. __**Layers?:**__ No running in the corridors! sign, stick-man running and saying la la la, stick-man hitting the flower pot and saying oh no, stick-man falling, stick-man hurt bleeding on the floor and stick-man helped up by teacher and told not to run in the corridors.

I choose design one because it meats all my design specifications and my other two designs do not.

**//__Evaluating:__//**
I think my plan is very good because it is well detailed and it has allot of steps and I have five sections that are very useful to me in different ways but overalls if I am working constantly in class and not talking to my class mates this plan should not be a problem for me.

= CREATE = media type="file" key="DaudSultanUnit4Create.vid.swf" width="360" height="270"



= EVALUATE = The table below is going to tell you if my final product is good as I compare it to my tests, I will have three people Gift, Chizo and Al-Amaan to give me comments on my final product about whats good and whats bad and how I can improve next time and if they could understand the message quite easily and clearly that my animation was giving them. Gift: Good: Good use of text. Bad: It was too slow.
 * Test || Yes || No ||
 * Does it follow the story board? || X ||  ||
 * Does it have 6 scenes? || X ||  ||
 * Is it 120 frames long? || X ||  ||
 * Does it have a minimum amount of writing? || X ||  ||
 * Does it have a stick man? || X ||  ||
 * Does he make a few good or bad decisions? || X ||  ||
 * Do those good or bad decisions have an outcome? || X ||  ||
 * __//Good And Bad?://__**

Chizo: Good:The use of color. Bad: Text was going too fast.

Al-Amaan: Good: Good Graphics Bad: Not many layers used.

Daud: Good: Good use of pictures. Bad: More use of motion tween

__ //**How I can Improve Next time?:**// __

Gift: Should have used a motion tween. Should have used different layers for each picture.

Al-Amaan: Use more layers next time

Chizo: Buy putting more layers.

Daud: Buy using motion tween and more layers.

__//**Can You Understand The Message My Animation clearly and easily?:**//__ Gift: Not the whole animation only some of it. Al-Amaan: Not clear and din't understand much of the animation. Chizo: Can understand it a bit but not easily. Daud: The text must be a bit slower and I should have used pictures from the internet because the pictures I have drawn are not clear.
