Animation Skills

Today we looked at creating a flip book. This should consist of at least 30 frames and be finished for next week, when we will be digitising them.



Having also had a look at the history of animation, you should collect examples of each of the main animation breakthroughs we discussed and submit images or videos to your blog.

Finally we also had a look at Animation styles. Likewise, you should find some up to date examples of each of the main styles that is currently on TV - Drawn Animation, Cut-Out Animation, Model Animation, CGI and Rotoscoping. Justify why each of your examples fits the profile with a short description.

Web Content Feedback

Feedback was given out today on your Web Content submissions. If you were off this week, ensure that you come and see me to find out what you have that is still outstanding.

Therefore you should all be at the stage of having finished your research, all articles should now be completed at very least in a draft form and you should be typing them up if you haven’t already done so. The web designer in your group will now be running the show. This week you should be creating your webpages layout and navigation, ready for the final text to be added next week.

Layout Editing

Task 4 – Compare bbc.co.uk and another site of your choice that allows you to edit and customize the layout.

Have a look at bbc.co.uk. This site provides news, entertainment, education etc, and allows you to customise and edit the layout and information to your own needs.

Take the tour of the site features and see what else you can do to tailor your own experience.

Now look up another site of your choice that also allows you to customise the layout and content to your own needs.

Have a look at its strong points and compare the two.

You will now write a short review of both sites, discussing the main features and comparing the sites, features and differences.
