Unit 10: Engaging with an audience in creative media production
Unit Aim: This unit will require students to develop a more in‐depth knowledge and sophisticated understanding of a specific creative media production activity and the means by which the audience for that activity might be reached and addressed. The unit provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate an understanding of audiences for their chosen area of activity, and the importance of collaboration and communication with those audiences during engagement with complex problem solving tasks.

Intent: To use limited animation techniques to create effective animations
Implementation: Through discussion of theory, examples and experimentation with practical tasks
Impact: Useful knowledge for producing work with budget and time constraints
Soft skills: Attention to detail, patience, creativity, problem-solving
Industry: Powerful for future projects and future roles
SMSC: Sense of fulfilment, collaborative learning, supportive culture, moral and ethical discussions and responsibility within animation

The Setup
Getting set up correctly is crucial to making sure everything else runs smoothly
What do I do?
Animate on 12fps
Animate in widescreen, either:
1920x1080 or
1280x720
Save regularly to your GoogleDrive!
Plan what you set out to animate. Write it down, sketch it, etc

Chose a minimum of two of the exercises below. For each exercise you must:
Find an example within animation and analyse it
Produce your own small animation experimenting with the technique
Document your process
Reflect as you go
Remember! Everything this week is software agnostic (excpet for the perspective one which is partly Blender specific). The important thing this week is we're demonstrate our understanding of these techniques.
1. Breakdowns
Now we're animating! Here we're really getting into the way things move. Below are some ways you can do this in time effective ways. Each of these have their pros and cons. Working smart is using appropriate ones for the job and combining them:
2. Smears
What do I do?
Watch the video
Experiment with smears in an animation

3. Multiples
What do I do?
Watch the video
Experiment with multiples in an animation

4. Background Rearrange
What do I do?
Watch the video (skip to 5:40)
When you create your backgrounds divide onto sperate layers so you can use this technique

5. 3 Frame Pop
What do I do?
Watch the video
Experiment with this technique in an animation

5. Cheating perspective
What do I do?
Watch the videos
Grab some free to use models, things that won't change shape are best (vehicles, buildings, etc)
