DESIGN TECHNOLOGY

Unit Title: Stop Motion Animation

Branch: Duration: Materials about 8 weeks

Area of interaction focus

Which area of interaction will be our focus? Why have we chosen this?

Significant concept(s)
What are the big ideas? What do we want our students to retain for years into the future?

Human Ingenuity:

This area of interaction allows students to explore various uses of multimedia while developing and processing a Stop Motion Movie

!esigners must take into consideration a range of views when developing a design and an ob"ective #best fit# approach is re$uired to communicate clearly

MYP unit question

Ho$ can I %e#ign& 'lan an% create #uita(le #to' motion animation to #u''lement the e%ucational o()ecti"e# o* the elementary gra%e community at BBIS+

Context:
Many %&T pro"ects are designed to utili'e one computer program( however) with the recent introduction of stop*motion into %&T labs) students are re$uired to incorporate +audio documentary creation#) +storyboarding#) and +movie production# skills to develop a final animation pro"ect %n addition) students will design) plan and create their pro"ect Students will select a letter and transform it into an ob"ect that begins with that letter) for example A to an apple

Criteria: Task guide

! In"e#tigate , -esearch. -eview last semester/s animations. see link below. &omplete a 0M% review on each 0 1 positive things) M 1 minus things and % 1 interesting things 2 0roduct %nvestigations. &omplete several 3at least 45 0roduct -esearches on Stop motion films and complete a 0M% review on each 0 1 positive things) M 1 minus things and % 1 interesting things 1

4 Write a !esign &ontext in your own words describes the nature of the pro"ect

6 7rainstorm or list of key design features for your animation. a 8utline several transformation options for some letters b 8utline options for creating the background* the +stage# is limited to an A6 paper si'e

9 After the research and brainstorming add : more design specifications to describe how a Stop Motion film will be considered good and successful Think back to 0M%/s , The film must be 2 minutes in length 2 The film must have an %ntro and ;nding transition 4 The film must have music) text and backgrounds < Write a design 7rief that clearly states what you will create and how) include descriptions of materials needed : !raw a diagram of how the +stage and camera# must be set up for your film making =abel all the e$uipment and mention ,ey hel'*ul hint# for making a stop motion film ******************************************************************************************************************************** B! De#ign , Sketch at least 4 drawings of feasible letter transformation ideas in at least 4 frames 3Try using 0aint to storey board this5 2 Select one option and sketch a suitable back ground ******************************************************************************************************************************** C! -lan , >or the selected letter transformation complete a %etaile% .#tory (oar%/ o* a(out 0

minute# to show the letter transformation

2 !escribe your backgrounds) props) script) titles) music and ideas behind your animation) list e$uipment and materials needed 4 -eview your plan) and make modifications as re$uired ******************************************************************************************************************************* D! Create , &reate a stop motion film. that is 2 minutes long Start $ith a (ac,groun% Working from your storyboard ?se the camera to film your stop motion and then bring it into moviemaker to edit Try looping part of it to make it longer and tell the story @ou should have transitions) sound and credits ;diting is very important and can really bring your film alive) make sure your animation has pace and there is a coherent story

E! E"aluate , 0repare and conduct a 0eer ;valuation to evaluate your film @ou must get feedback about how your product rates against each of the design specifications >rom the 0eer ;valuation. Summarise the comments on how your product could be developed or improved &omplete your own evaluation of your product against the design specifications and make your own recommendations on how the product could be developed or improved ****************************************************************************************************************************
