Ideas Mind Map














Idea1:
My first idea for our advert is we want to present our teenage trust logo we want to include pictures and animation that would appeal our teenage audience. We want to include what our charity does and how one day it could be benefiting them. In this we want to include animation, real life footage and life font and pictures.  From our feedback sheets we discovered that people thought that our idea was basic but is very effective at the same time. Some people said that this idea isn’t very appealing.


Idea2:
My second idea of our advert is we want to present our logo in an animation that will consist of many pictures of people that this charity has helped we want to present our charity and make people aware of what we do. We want to make sure that our logo is present throughout out the advert, as we want our logo to be memorized by everyone. We will create this by using animation real life footage and pictures. Our feedback sheets showed us that this idea would be a very good to get people to memorize our logo but doesn’t inform people enough information on what the charity actually does. 

Idea3:
My third idea for our advert is to have a well-known recent sound track with animations that would appeal to the teenagers; we want it to include bright colours as this will draw the teenagers into watching our advert. We want to include short sentences that explain our charity we also want our logo present throughout. This idea we was told is very boring, even though we have a sound track people don’t feel as though this will appeal and draw in the teenagers attention.

 Idea4:
My fifth idea is for our advert to consists of a number of images of people who teenage cancer trust has helped. We to show the celebrities that work with our charity. We want all the people to be present on screen then our logo will fade in with some information on the charity. This idea we was told is very creative but to make this more appealing we should present faces of people that this charity has helped not just the celebrities that work with the charity. 

Idea5:
My fifth idea for our advert is to have pictures of people who our charity have helped and in the background we want moving cut out bits of paper that will change colour and shapes, we just need to make sure that our advert is entertaining and will appeal to teenagers. Out of all of our ideas this idea was the most popular, people said that this advert is not only informative but is also entertaining it isn’t boring.

Equipment List


Equipment list 

All the equipment we need is listed below for our documentary. All the other equipment we need is already in the gym ready for us  to use when we film part of our documentary.




The camera that we are going to use is a sony HD Pj260VE full HD camera. this camera will be used to film our in tire interview. this camera we will loan of our schoo. we choose to use this camera as it has a very sensitive microphone that will pick up the majority of sound that we want it to.




We are also going to use a camera stand. By us using a camera stand will allow us to have perfectly still camera shots and will allow our interview to be still not to have wonky moving shots. we choose to use a stand as well as it will make our interview allot more professional.






We need to take a phone each as this will allow us to contact each other in case we get lost in virgin active health club. we can also use our phones to track time so that we can make sure that our interview isn't too long but also isn't to short.








We need to take a clip board pen and paper so that we can have our questions clearly shown to us so that we know exactly the questions that we want to ask. We will use a pen to tick off each question as it is asked so that we don't ask the same question twice as this would make our interview not very professional.

Interview & Evaluation





Interview Evaluation

During the interviews which myself Ryan and Elliott took part in where we each took a turn to play the interviewer and interviewee, we came across some really good questions which were asked and some questions which didn’t really receive a good answer. During the interview where Ryan interviewed me we found that the best question, which was asked, was ‘So…do you think being surrounded by boys affects your learning’? The reason we found this the best question asked in this particular interview was because I gave a long and descriptive answer which explained that I don’t feel that working in an environment where there is mainly boys is distractive I also went into detail by saying how I feel that I mainly get on with boys rather then girls. We also came up with the conclusion that there was a question with the worst response, the question was ‘Rumors have it that if your in an all boys school it is really hard to study and concentrate because people are always looking for attention’.
The reason we chose this as our worst response was because when I replied to Ryan I only used a one worded answer which meant that I cut the interviewer short and that question was over and done with within a few seconds. I also feel that during the interview with Ryan it was really informal and more of a casual conversation rather than an interview which is good to a certain extend as you dont want to read and ask questions which you have prepared earlier and then just listening to the response, however you need to balance out the interview to make it formal however casual as well.   In the interview with myself and Ryan where Ryan portrayed the role of the interviewer he mainly did most of the speaking whereas it should have been myself the interviewee doing most of the talking, to resolve this mater next time we would use different questions which I could expand on and talk more about instead of giving short answers in response.
We then moved on to the next interview where myself interview Elliott and Ryan filmed. This interview went surprisingly well considering the topic of our interview was about Elliot’s car (whip!) and driving experience, Elliott was talking about the day of the test and the cars, myself being the interviewer found it really easier to expand on questions and rhetorical questions and could feed off of the answers he gave.

Evaluation of stop motion formats


Clay animation or claymation is one of several forms of stop motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable"—made of a malleable substance, usually Plasticine clay.


All traditional animation is produced in a similar fashion, whether done through cel animation or stop motion. Each frame, or still picture, is recorded on film or digital media and then played back in rapid succession. Chicken run was produced in the year 2000 usuing the claymation techniques. the film was produced by the Aardan Animations Compnay. it was also made in the same studio as Wallace and Gromit.

Cutout animation is a technique for producing animations using flat characters, props and backgrounds cut from materials such as paper, card, stiff fabric or even photographs.


Charlie and Lola are characters created by author and illustrator Lauren Child They were introduced in a series of picture books and later adapted as animated television stars. Although their main audience is children three to seven years old, the books and shows are popular with adults for their humorous storylines. Lola is an energetic, imaginative little girl; Charlie is a patient and kind older brother who has his work cut out (but is always willing) to help Lola learn and grow.


In the death star canteen animation the lego characters and already made through factory techniques. this is an easier way to create animationas it is a lot more easier to move the parts of the lego character. the target audience would be young people who are not only interested in lego but also interested in star wars. if the creator's used a different filming technique's then the characters wouldn't move, therefore using an animation allows them to take pictures of the characters then move the characters then take another picture. The target audience for this type of animation would be young people depending on who the film was going to be shown to and what the film was going to have in it because with lego you can make a lot of different things. Stop motion would have to be used here because otherwise there is no way of making the ego characters move, so the only easy and simple way of doing it would be to take pictures of the characters and then move them slightly and then take more pictures and then repeating the process. The way in which the animators of this type if animation format go about animating lego is very similar to when other people use stop motion.


In the kindle advert people and objects are already created the produces don't have to make them out of clay or any other time of material. the target audience for this advert is really anyone who is interested in reading or interested in technology, this will range from young people to old people there isn't a specific age that like/enjoy reading. stop motion is perfect to use as it allows the objects to move in a certain direction at the same time, where as if you used other ways to film this it wouldn't work and the objects and people would be in sync. The target audience for this animation isn't really specific as anything can be made like this, there is nothing that makes appeal to a certain age group. Stop motion would have to be used because it has a lot of different things have to moved in a certain direction at the same time so a normal way of filming would not really work because the objects would have to be moved by people and therefore you would see them doing this.
