Team meeting minutes

Team Meeting Minutes.

When creating our animation, myself and rest of the team decided to arrange team meetings in which we would decide exactly what we would do for our animation step by step as we had many aspects we had to consider for part of our animation production.

28/09/2012- This was our first team meeting all together. This is where we decided exactly what charity we would base our animation on, we then began to do basic research on our chosen charity and watched other adverts and commercials the charity had previously done.
We also thought it would be a good idea to research our target audience as well, we realised that although the cancer trust is for teenagers it is also watched by all different kinds of age groups.

9/10/2012- In this meeting we gathered all our current research together to see what we had come up with. On this day we also decided to base our advert on an inspiration video(advert) wish is Mosshi Monster made for moo.com. We chose to base our idea on this advert as it looked very professional and would be easy to do. We then each took a storyboard home to feel in of one of ideas in which we could use for our animation, we would then meet up the following day to show each other our different ideas.

18/10/2012- We decided in this meeting that we would chose our final idea, so that it would be fair we would use parts of everyones storyboard to put together our final animation. We came up with the idea of an opening and closing hand, when the palm was open their would be a picture of someone who the chariety has helped, this picture would change everytime the hand opened and closed. We felt that this was a very creative idea and would be entertaining for our target audience.

4/12/2012- In this meeting we decided exactly what equipment we was going to use and how we were going to budget our animation. We also decided what sound we were going to use behind our animation which would be 'Fix You' by Coldplay. We also decided that we were going to use a Nikon D5100 camera to take the individual shots instead of using a logic camera, we chose to do this to make our animation look a lot more professional and to have high quality pictures.

After these meeting we basically began to gradually prepare for our final filming for our animation.
I felt that with the help of these meeting it made us feel a lot organized as a group and we were able to stay on top when filming our final animation.
