The current situation/problem:
The current situation problem is that I have to find a way to make an animation where I make a character either make a good decision or a bad one. It should show the people watching that making a bad decision is bad or making a good decision is good (depending on what decide to do in the end) This animation should show people a basic idea of what to do when in a situation.

For example, i could make my character pick up trash from the floor and put it into the trash. This is an example of a good decision.

IF YOU USE ANIMATIONS YOU WILL BE IMPROVING OF THESE SKILLS: 1. Telling stories 2. Concentration 3. Solving problems 4. New language skills, helping you develop your language 5. Observation skills

[]

[]
An animation about a character making a bad decision in our community and later on paying for what he/she has done.
 * The Design Brief**

The Design Specification
Must follow the story board Must have 6 scenes at the least Must be at least 150 frames long Must have some writing i.e. to introduce a scene or some talking Must have different layers for scene, you will probably end up with over 10 layers Make it look attractive and eye-catching The message must be obvious Motion tween's must be used Should be interesting to watch and easy to follow

Tests i will get a friend to complete the following table
 * || YES || NO ||
 * follows the story board ||  ||   ||
 * has at least 6 scenes ||  ||   ||
 * must be 150 frames or more ||  ||   ||
 * should include writing or someone talking ||  ||   ||
 * must have different layers ||  ||   ||
 * attractive and eye-catching ||  ||   ||
 * the message being sent should be obvious ||  ||   ||
 * motion tween's must be used ||  ||   ||
 * interesting to watch and easy to follow ||  ||   ||

i have researched and this is roughly how i will lay out my designs. each scene will go on each box and i will explain what will happen in it.

**DESIGN** **EACH SCENE WILL BE ABOUT 20-30 FRAMES LONG**

Design 1
120-180 frames long STORY: This will be about some students who are taking an exam. two of the students did not study and as a result of this they thought they would cheat. so they did. after their results were given back to them the two cheating students failed and the other passed. this got them furious and they decided to gang up on the other student they cheated from who passed the exam. as they were beating the student up, the teacher caught them doing this. as expected, the two boys got in trouble and suspended from the school. this would help people understand that if you cheat, there will be consequences so its better to study.

LAYERS: 1.cheating sign 2.the desks 3. one stick man 4. second stick man 5. third stick man 6. results papers 7. teacher 8. Don't cheat or else sign

if i were to pick this design for my creation, i don't think it will meet some areas of my design specification. such as that it should be eye catching and attractive.

Design 2
120-180 frames long

STORY: This story is about people who are racing together possibly in the Olympics. as they were running, one of the racers felt as though he will loose so he tripped his most challenging contestant. this caused the contestant to get badly injured and he lost some parts of his legs. the racer that tripped him felt very bad about what he did. in the end the tripped racer ended up dying and the other racer forever felt guilty about his death and his life was not the same.

LAYERS: 1. Do not cheat sign 2. referee stick man 3. flag 4. running track 5. referee speech bubble 6. racer 1 7. racer 2 8. racer 3 9. racer 4 10. speech bubble for racer 1 11. speech bubble for racer 2 12. hospital bed 13. "there r always consequences, THINK"

if i were to choose this design i think it would fit most of the design specifications apart from some of them like, attractive and eye catching. i think it will be quite dull and no one would want to keep watching it if they had to.

Design 3
120-180 frames long

STORY: this story is about a poor man. he is very poor and barely eats everyday. all he wants is to have some money so he doesn't live in poverty. at a point he has had enough of dreaming of having money and how life would be like if he did have some money. he has a plan that he can go to the bank while its closed at night and steal some money without getting caught. he makes his way to the bank at night and is successful to take some money and escape the bank. but he doesn't know that the police have been called and are on their way to the bank to arrest him. as he is escaping the area, the police car comes and whilst he is running, they run over him and he dies.

LAYERS: 1. Do not steal text 2. man 3. thought bubble 4. bag of money in thought bubble and smile face 5. road 6.bank 7. poor man 8. text that will read 'open and closed' 9. 2 bags of money 10. police car 11. the end sign


 * THIS IS MY CHOSEN DESIGN**
 * yet i will make some changes to it.**


 * -WHEN THE POLICE CAR COMES, IT WILL NOT RUN INTO THE MAN AND RUN OVER HIM.**
 * IT WILL SIMPLY STOP, AND ARREST THE MAN, DRIVE OFF AND TAKE HIM INTO JAIL.**
 * WHILST HE IS IN JAIL HE WILL HAVE A THOUGHT BUBBLE THAT SAYS ''I SHOULD HAVE**
 * THOUGHT OF ALL THE CONSEQUENCES''**


 * I WILL ALSO CHANGE THE BEGINNING, INSTEAD OF A THOUGHT BUBBLE OF MONEY,**
 * THERE WILL BE A BUNCH OF WRITING LIKE 'i am worthless, i have no money etc'**

= PLAN =

__IMPROVED__

__LAYERS__ 1. Do not steal text 2. skull and crossbones 3. man 4. different text around man's face 5. 'meanwhile' text 6. road 7. bank 8. poor man 9. text that will read 'open and closed' 10. 2 bags of money 11. police car 12. jail 13. poor man again 14. jail cell

This plan could work because i have listed everything i will need to include for my creation. this plan also has the estimated time i will need to do each of these things, so by looking at that i know about how long everything will take me if i am focused and i stick to my plan. What i could have done was filled in the dated column, but because i missed some lessons, i got confused on the dates. this is why i added the last column of how long this will take me, instead of posting the actual date. i think my plan could work but it lacks some detail, but i could follow my plan and in the end have a good creation i may add some things later but that will be what i include in my evaluation.

= CREATE = media type="file" key="chizo final creation.swf" width="360" height="360"

In my create, i made a lot of changes that i did not include in my plan. I included a lot more layers than i thought i would and i made the product a little bit longer than expected. I also added more texts of speech with the character in my creation. I took off some parts i thought i would include, for example i did not add the bags of money that i said i would in my chosen deign and also in my plan. i also used a lot more motion tween's that i said in my plan. i think these modifications made the whole creation better because if i did the exact same things my plan said, i would have ended up with a shorter and possibly more boring creation.

doing this stage. i also did not have select and analyse information from some acknowledged sources || Read the assessment criteria before doing the stage and make sure i know exactly what i am supposed to include || specification, or justify my choice of design || Make sure i always justify my choice and state any changes i will make || timeline, instead i said how long each stage will take || always look at the assessment criteria so i know for next time that i should include a timeline of how long everything will take me (the only reason i did not include a timeline is because i was away for a while and i got very confused with all the dates || but i also didn't state the modifications i made or any changes i made during the whole process || for next time i should remember that i have to include any modifications i made and any changes i made that i did not have in my chosen design || against the tests and i tested my product myself to the design specification. || i think i am quite good with the evaluation stage, i might have to include other ways of testing or i could have asked more than only three friends to test my create ||

**TECHNOLOGY**
|| 3/4? || i think i deserve a 3 or a 4 because even though i was away i still did some of the work at home and managed just in the end to catch up with everyone else and have a good product at the same time. i think i had a positive attitude because i did not get angry with the fact that i was not here and i still continued from where i stopped || for next time i think i should work a lot faster a so i don't have to work on this all the time at home, and exceed some deadlines for some of the stage ||
