4. You are an Animation production Company. You will need to make a short animation on the theme of ‘ Feelings of War ’ It must be stop-frame animation and you must use physical objects. You have the option to use platercine which you can mould into anything you like, but you must bring this yourself. You may bring objects into the studio if we do not already have them.

5. You will need to build a proposal of your ideas before you can begin making the animation. This will include: A mind-map of your ideas Prop List Materials List Storyboard You will need to each take on a job role; some of you will need to take on two or even three if there are few of you in the group.

6. DIRECTOR – You will be in charge of the people in the group, you must make sure that everyone is busy at all times. When making decisions you will make the final decisions once discussing pros and cons with the group. You will discuss with the class what your group are doing and give reasons to why. HEAD CHARACTER DESIGNER – It is your job to be in charge of designing and make the characters. You will control how the characters look or what they will be. You can instruct others to help you.

You can also instruct others to help you if you think it will speed up the making. HEAD SET AND PROP DESIGNER - It is your job to be in charge of designing and make the sets and props.

Consider zooms and unusual angles, Consider how many shots you will need to take and how smooth it will be. EDITOR – It is your job to use computer software to edit your animation together.
