Zoetrope is important because is about creating different cut out animations from different kinds of magazines.

Object Animation


Object animation is a motion picture where it uses different kinds of objects to create a new animation, creating an object animation, is way more different than creating a cutout animation. the cutout animation is a piece of motion picture, which involves cutting different pictures from magazines. The object animation that I have created is a policeman in his bike showing his new gun which fires

Koyanniskatsi TimeLapse Animation- Koyanniskatsi timelapse animation is used for capturing different sorts of places using istopmotion to create a video of any sort of things passing by to create a high speed motion every 30secs. of the time limit.



This is an example of what the media students did before the summer half-term has started.









For this part of the session, I have designed a Storyboard and a mindmap for E4's new ident.. I have drawn three different idea for my channel ident, the first one that I've drawn is going to be set in flat, where everything is in a mess, and then suddenly all of the stuff at the same flat will come to life, the photo albums will be flying around, a teddy bear will be coming out of the photo album.. clothes coming from the drawers and etc.

The second idea that I've thought to draw for the channel ident is going to be set in a camping village where, young youths arrives at the camping village and puts at tent, after, they'll light up the fire and the e4 logo will show up at the fire itself.

The third idea and last idea that came up to my mind was the idea where I decided to do a channel ident on. My idea for my channel ident is basically going to be use some cut out animation (using different pictures from different magazines) and drawn animation. The whole story behind this channel is about celebrating New Year in different areas across the globe. From scene by scene, it sees the other people greeting each other a Happy New Year and gathers around in front of the bridge to watch the beautiful firework display. In a couple of minutes time the countdown will be shown at the main centre of the bridge, with the crowd joining in at the countdown from 10 to 1.. and last but not least the amazing fireworks display shows and slowly by the slowly the e4 logo shows during the fireworks and gets a quick close-up of the logo itself.


The second idea that i have thought about is a deck cards being spread with the e4 logo popping out from the front of the card.
