Unit 33 assignment 1

The principles of animation 
 There is many principles of animation. First is Characters.You need too have good and well made characters in your animation this will make your animation more believable and more fun to watch. Anticipation is one of the principles of animation  because this will get the audience ready to see whats going happen. Staging is one of the biggest principles in animation because you want your location ( staging ) to look real so the audience doesn't lose interest. Arcs is of the the principles of animation because
Arcs give animation a more natural action and better flow. Think of natural movements in the terms of a pendulum swinging. All arm movement, head turns and even eye movements are executed on an arcs. Secondary action is important because it adds to the main action and gives more dimensions to the characters.

T-SHIRT WAR.
Made in - 2013
Audience - Aged 11-30. But anyone can enjoy stop motion




T SHIRT WAR

I have picked t shirt war because it has great use of sound effects. The sounds used match the image on the t shirt, so this makes it more realistic. For example at ( 0.44 ) shows the man blowing up the balloon on his shirt and the sound matches what it would in real life because we know the balloon isn't real.The genre of this stop motion will be comedy(slapstick) we see this at(0.44) and (1.05 ) (1.38). So the generic conventions of this comedy is playing little pranks on each other we see this at (1.51-2.15 ). they don't really follow the rule of arc (0.25 ). But this doesn't have a negative effect on me because the main action is based on their T Shirts.

 King Kong vs T REX

The genre of King Kong is action. So we see a lot of fighting between King Kong and T REX at (0.13 ). Then movement isn't that good so the fight scene isn't that good and it doesn't have a great impact on the audience and they will lose interest for example at ( 1.23 ) half of T REX is of screen and its filmed all the way to the left hand side and the movement is jumpy. In the scene at ( 0.03 ) there is a lot of secondary action going on with the t rex behind the woman but we don't lose any focus on whats going on. The use of gravity at ( 1.34 ) is there but because the use of stop motion is new it makes us take a step back because its something we don't expect. This has a negative effect on the audience. TIME because its an old stop motion the movement of figures

fight scene ( 0.13 )


 








  
( 1.23 ) interest







  




Secondary Action ( 0.03 )










  



Chicken run

ANTICIPATION.

Chicken run has a good use of anticipation we see this at ( 1.42 )












We see the knees bend and the arms open wide. The use of gravity is normal we dont see anything unexpected and I think this is better because it has that balance of comedy and realism. 

Over lapping 
 
At (0.55 ) we see the use of over lapping. This is a good use of it because we see the character get span round also its a hint of comedy.
