Test shots from when we were filming.

From when we were testing the lighting:

The brightness from the mirror was the lighting we needed, we also used fairy lights to make it look a little bit more brighter, and we also had the bedroom light on a medium light 

setting.

We also wanted to see what the other lights looked like. We found out that they were too bright and that it would not look right when we were filming it.

Evaluation

Overall I enjoyed doing this project because I like to create things, so it was a good experience in making the play Doh models and also making the goal posts and just setting the whole miniature football pitch up. Even though stop motion animations are known for the animations that take a while to create I enjoyed doing the whole animation. But if I was to change anything about he whole animation I would of made the play Doh models a little bit more stable so they wont fall over, because a few times when I wanted to do the audience part they would randomly fall over and then I would have to start all over again because maybe one or two fell over.

My Idea

My Idea is going to be based on a football match, so there will be two people playing football, and one of them will tackle the other and then he scores a goal, the camera will then zoom on to the crowd, where they will be holding up a banner which would spell out 'E4'. But because it is a stop motion animation, I will be getting small plasticine people to hold up pieces of card one by one on each frame.

Example of what it would look like:

Tests

Tests

I did a few tests where I used paper to see if it is useful for my animation.
I have found out that I won't be using paper as it can be accidently altered via environmental changes.

I then did another test to see what my original idea would look like. I liked how it all worked but the only things I would change would be that the play doh models would not stay up right, so next time I would either find a different material for it.

Example of the E4 Play Doh model. I have used purple play doh and then goggly eyes.

Another Example of the other Play Doh Model. I have used the same materials as the other play doh model.

The football which is going to be used for the football match. I have used play doh and then paint to paint over the play doh, as I could not find white play doh, I then got a black permanent marker and painted the marks on it, like you would see on a football.

The Goal posts that are going to be used in the football match. I have used straws to make this and then the netting they use for an orange pack, I have used that as the netting for the goal posts.
