evidence that the production management and scheduling of the project has been effective
and carried out in a professional manner. The techniques used in the production of the work
are likely to be related to an understanding of current trends in the industry.

Risk assessment: Are there any health and safety issues you may encounter?
Health and Safety issues I may encounter during the making of my production
are (using Scales/Knifes and Scissors to make my settings for the animation)
so therefore I have to be safe and considerate of myself and people I will work
around. There are also day to day health and safety acquirements like, tripping,
Discuss any legal issues you may face. Egg; sound, plagiarism, age restrictions
Some legal issues I may face during my production could be issues like, what
type of music I use and where I get it from, so issues could arouse like
copyright or plagiarism. I wont encounter any age restrictions because I feel
my production could be shown to anyone any age or race and It would cause a
situation, even though the Target Audience is teenagers
What are the different possibilities you could explore using this format?
The different possibilities I could explore from using this format is finding new ways
to make an animation, I feel by using this format I could make it more enjoyable for
myself and make a better looking production.
What are the limitations of using this format? (i.e what problems/ obstacles might you
have?)
The limitations I may encounter using this format is difficult movement of the characters, the
characters movement may look a little jumpy from time to time. As far as that I cannot see
any other issues I may have.
What imaginative or inventive animations have you seen which use this format?
Add in links and screen shots of three examples of animations using this format.

These animations above are inspiring animations which helped me to make mine, the format
is different to mine but still helped me in getting my camera angles done properly.
Subject
What will the subject of your animation be?
The subject of my animation is (Surfing) and the dangers of it, the story is giving a message
(know your limits) its based on a personal experience.
Storyline
Describe the storyline of your animation. What events will happen to your characters?
The story line of my animation is about a surfer who looks out his bedroom window to see
massive waves and gets over confident, he heads straight out to the surf and get battered
and hammered by the big waves, he eventually catches a wave, let alone the biggest one
that had come through that day, but despite his over confidence he falls into the face of the
wave and gets turned over into the churning white water, meanwhile the beach lifeguard
sees whats going on and grabs his surf life-saving board a paddles to the surfers rescue,
the surfer climbs on board the lifegaurds board and they paddle back to shore, the surfer is
very grateful to the lifeguard but also embarrassed. The surfer then returns home and the
lifeguard back to his seat.

Movement of characters
Mood board
Create a mood board showing what look your animation will have. Add images showing
ideas of mise-en-scene, characters, costumes and colors that will be present in the different
shots.
Sets / backgrounds
Will your set be;
A blue/green screen
An existing location
Draw sketches of how your sets/backgrounds will look. Add in labels to your diagrams and
details of locations / lighting etc.
My set will be hand made out of cardboard as a three wall set with light coming in through
the top left corner for most of the set. I will either have one big set of two smaller sets, one
containing a house and the other a beach with a wave. Im planning on having both sets
having 3 surrounding walls and one floor this net is the shape of my set.
This net folds up to a 3 sided box with a base, so the background will have 3 angles. This
shape will apply to both my sets if I cant fit them on one.
1 The first set will be the hardest one to make of the two, the floor of the box will have a
beach and a breaking wave on it and the three sides will be the sky and a further extension
of the water.
2 The second set will be a house just off the beach with a forest behind, but the house will
only be one-sided as it will only be photographed from the front.
Complete the sound list, detailing what sounds you will use, where you will source them,
what equipment you will need to record them and when you will use them in your animation.
You will need to design your own soundtrack. You cannot use copyrighted music, and it
must be more than simply adding a track.
Think of the scenes in your animation. Each scene should have different sounds/music to
give information about the mood / emotions of the characters.

Frame Rates
What is the duration of your animation in minutes? (Minimum 30 seconds)
My animation will be 30-35 seconds or 0.35 minutes
In seconds?
30-35 seconds
There are 60 seconds in a minute. How many frames (i.e. Individual photos) will you
need to take?
I will need to take about 900-950 photographs, so that my production can be between
30-35 seconds.
Lighting Design
Where will you place your light source(s) to create interesting effects?
(LO3)
Frame numbers
You will need to label your images as frames
The first 24 frames will be written as;
0_1
0_2 etc. etc.
Dope sheets
A dope sheet is an animation tool which helps an animator organize the animation shot-byshot.
This gives the camera operator instructions on each shot type and how many frames this will
be used for.
A dope sheet is usually split into 5 different sections.
For example;
Because you will be working with video, you will be using 30fps. You will need to complete a
dope sheet for EVERY SECOND of your animation.
i.e., if you make a 30 second animation, you will need to complete 30 dope sheets.
This will be a time-consuming task, but it will help you understand what will need to
happen in each of the shots you take. The higher marks will come from a detailed and
careful collection of dope sheets. For example, if your characters speaks, you will need to
show the mouth forming every shape in order to look effective.
