2.8- Process journal #3

The story line we decided to go with , was my original idea about wonderland , we decided to call it " a girl who found her way home. This wasn't my idea but it was Isamar's ideas. Also i added the idea that the main character runs away. I have incorporated the idea of the moral , that sometimes reality is better then living a lie , or living based on the "ideal" dream, also you should appreciate what you have. The reason why i decided to go with this is because in my stop motion i wanted to add like fun and the basic idea that everyone has about "wonderland" , or some place where they feel like its better than what they see home to be, it can be useful not only for a project but to show others that would think of running away.

2.7- Process Journal #2

Evaluate your work in class based on criteria F- Attitudes in Technology. What score would you give yourself ? Would you give the same score to your partner? Why or why not ? What can you do to improve your score ?

Based on Criteria F i would evaluate my attitudes in technology as a 5. The reason why is because in the concept of Personal Engagement i have had motivation to give everything in on time , and i have worked on some parts of the projects by myself, i have also approached this concept in a positive matter. I have also respect the opinions of my partner, and we worked together to incorporate and combine our ideas to our finial outline of the project. I would give the same grade to my partner because she worked just as hard as i have. What i can do to improve this project is handle organization better.

2.6 - Brainstorm

Story Line-

the teddy bear will be sitting on the floor with her paws in her face , she will then have a dream about wonderland , she will find a door and step foot in wonderland , then she falls down , when she fell down all the houses and trees and rabbits will all fall down also , and she will realize that "wonderland" does not exist and she rather live in reality and make the best out of it instead of wanting something that is unreachable and impossible.

2.5- Process Journal #1

For this project i am working with Isamar Rodriguez. Our initial ideas are the following , we want to make a story that will influence people that see it in real life. It is about a Teddy bear this teddy bear hates reality and everything she goes through in real life, so she sets foot in what we call "wonderland", and then realizes that she should have appreciated what she had before, because not everything in a fairy tale is fun and games somethings things aren't what they look to be. What we have done during this project is learn how to make a stop motion video. Also we learned that it takes time to make one , and that this project is going to be challenging considering the fact that we must make the teddy bear walk and do other things. Also we know what we must get completed before the next time we have Technology.

2.3- Design brief

I am going to make a stop motion. This stop motion is used to inform the audience about life and its obstacles. It is a PG video , so no violence would be demonstrated in this film. It will be made out of a group of photo graphs, and can be viewed by anyone. It is to be viewed for entertainment purposes.

2.2 Design Task

My stop motion video is going to be about a bear that is a cheerleader. She is going to be walking to what she thinks is "real life" when in reality its all a fairy tale , and a dream . As soon as she wakes up she finds that not everything in life is all fun and games there are a series of challenges that us as humans have to over come , to be strong in life, and thats the theme of the story. It basically informs everyone who sees it that all the "wonderland" believes of life aren't what they picture it to be and sometimes life will make unexpected turns that you as a human being must over come.

2.1 Stop Animation Investigation

1. What is stop motion?
Stop motion is a techique that is used to make different objects to move and to do different movements in a video form. It is also when you take many photos and put them into a video.

2. How is motion created using stop motion animation?
The motion created using stop motion animation is just sequencial movement right after each other. Like it is used to make a real video just making an object do things that they wouldnt regularly do.

3. What material is needed to create stop motion animation?
The material needed to create this stop animation is a camara and tri-pod, also a video editing program.

4. How is stop motion animation different from other forms of movies?
Stop motion is different then other forms of movies because instead of just video recording people , this takes the time to make a collage of different photographs. They have to be exact and have to have a certain timing so that it can look like a real video.

5. Describe the steps you need to follow in order to create a stop animation film.Watch both of the Stop Motion Animation films posted below and answer the following questions:

The steps that you will need to create a stop animation film is to plan, get all the materials , especialy the camara and then start working on it. You have to break down what you are going to do. For example the first week you caan just take photos. The second week you can start putting them together. The third week you can edit them into an animation video.

6. What objects are used in the films? The objects used in these films are different arts and crafrs materials , also a camamra to take the pictures of every movement that is accuring.

The objects that are used in the film was like teddy bears and a real life enviroment like an apartment, or a house , also a park.

7. How is music used to tell the story in both animations?
The lyrics in the music are used to tell a story because of the words that are in the song, like it talks about wanting to go to different places and explore.

8. What is the overall story in both of the films?
The story that is going on in both videos is that it they both want to leave the world that they were in and explore. For example for the teddy bear starts with just waking up and then next thing you know he is in a space ship out to the moon. Also in the second video the shirt and the pants wanted to go out in the world and not just be in a hamper. He left in a car and explored the world and life something more.
