a)

This is the backdrop that I used in the first scene. It is a park with a bench in the middle. My character walks in front of the bench and picks up a ball. This way I am trying to show the proportion of the bench compared to my character as when he gets closer to the bench, the bench increases in size also.

This is the backdrop which I used for the second scene of my short film. It is the main characters home. This is where he gets home from his walk in the park and realises that the ball he got from the park in front of the bench is no longer with him. Not too much happens in this scene apart from the character walking in front of everything.

This is the backdrop that I used as a transition scene. This is what is going to be put in-between both of the main scenes, but mainly before the indoor scene as in films, it is good to show the location with a shot rather than just letting the viewer guess what you are doing in a new location.

b)

My file structure throughout the entire Animation process has been kept very clean to a point. I have labelled all of the folders to what programs are inside that folder, then I have also re-named everything inside each folder to something that I recognise what it is at a quick glance. This helps me understand where and which folders my work is at, at all times.

Whilst using Animate, to create my Animation. I kept the layers named correctly so that I was easily able to turn off which layers I needed at a time and so that I also knew which layer I was working on when going through different layers. This helped keep me on track with what I was doing and not having to worry about doing something on the wrong layer and having to go back and redo it on the correct layer again.

c)

As you can see from the images above, I have clearly followed my storyboard quite well through the process of the Animation. The photos below show the exact shot (or as close as I could get) between the storyboard and the Animation.

Throughout my Animation, I followed the script at the same time. Not as fully as the storyboards as I kind of changed the story a little bit when drawing the storyboards to make the scene and different shots look better, than what the script had laid out originally.

d)

Throughout my Animation, I have followed a variety of safe working practices. For example, whenever I was on the computer I made sure to have set breaks in between a certain amount of time Animating which gives my eyes a rest, therefore not straining them and not causing myself any harm. Secondly, when using other equipment for Animation, I am aware of how it works and what to do if it doesn't work or breaks somehow.

e)

I have tried my best to follow this Production Schedule. Alternatively, having this was extremely helpful when trying to plan how long I was going to spend each lesson on Animation.
