2D animation is a traditional animation style in which the image can only move along the X and Y axis (Up and down) and are restricted from moving along a Z axis. 2D Animation is used in TV shows, film and advertisements but has been replaced by 3D animations in a lot of instances.
3D Animation:
Unlike 2D animation, 3D animation allows the subject to move along the Z axis, allowing the subject to appear more real to the viewer. 3D animation has, in recent times, replaced a lot of 2D animation and is used greatly in film, TV and video games.
Stop Motion:
Stop motion is a type of animation in which many images are cut together to simulate movement. Each image usually consists of a small difference from the last image so that when a large amount of them are cut together motion is created. This type of animation takes a very long time and can easily go wrong if an object is moved incorrectly.
Layering:
Layering is a technique often used in graphic design in which layers are used to indicate and order of visibility. The top layer will show above all layers below it and the bottom layer will be behind all layers above it. This technique is generally used for organization but can also be used to create different effects, for example a stacked effect, where the images look stacked above one another.
Editing Software:
Editing Software is used to add effects to footage, image or audio as well as to cut them together. It is essential in a production as it ties all media together to create the final production. I will be using Adobe Premiere Pro CC for my ident as it is available at college as well as owning it myself at home.
Memory:
When obtaining a lot of shots for your production you will need to consider the amount of memory you have on your storage device. Higher quality shots with a higher FPS will take up more memory and you will therefore want to consider what size storage you will need and whether you will need multiple storage devices for back-up.
File Formats:
Different forms of media can be saved under different file formats. Some file formats are better suited to different reasons. For example some file formats cannot be read in certain editing programs. I will be filming and saving my video as MP4 as those are both suited to Adobe Premiere and include all of the features that I need on my file whereas a format like MP3 would not include the video.
Scheduling:
On a production you need to schedule with all of your cast and crew to film at times that suit everyone as well as the shoot. Itâs also used for organization and meeting deadlines. The filming for my video will take place within a week as I have the benefit of working by myself and having to make a short video.
Meeting Deadlines:
A deadline is usually set by the client so that the production is completed by a set date and/or time. My deadline is 6/17/2016, I plan to get my production done by then by organizing my days and my work in order or when I plan on doing it, having the video complete on the 6/16/2016, and finishing my final paperwork and evaluation before the deadline.
Management of Resources:
When producing a video there will be resources such as lights, camera and audio that needs to be managed; for example a DoP will manage the camera and decide which shots work best, whilst working closely with the director. As I will be the sole creator for my video and I have less resources to worry about the filming will be very straightforward.
Liason with Clients:
In a production where the product is being created for a client, a liason with the clients is recommended as the creator can gain a clear understanding of what the client is looking forward. A face to face liason would work best as the client can visibly show what they want and questions can be asked to help make the product even closer to the clients needs.
Client Negotiation:
In some cases a client may want something that the creator is unable to produce, this could be due to limitations with equipment or merely lack of experience. This means that the film maker and client must negotiate to come up with an alternative or an idea that is both possible to create and meets the clients needs.
Quality Management:
In a production the creator or director would have to constantly look to see if all quality is upheld in all segments within the creation. For this production however I will be working alone and handling all segments, meaning the quality of everything will be down to me to begin with, meaning that I would not have to rely and oversee other peoples contributions.
Team Working:
In most productions a team is assembled with each member given a different role and something to take care of. Some roles are much larger than others with some having only a small/replaceable part in a production and others being a lot larger with the part needing to be done by someone with good experience to create a better final piece. However everyone in the production must understand exactly what is happening in the production to make the work flow better. For this production however I will not be working in a team and therefor teamwork cannot be applied.
Presentation:
A large amount of preparation should be used when presenting to a client. and professionalism is important so that they believe that you can be reliable and have experience in your field. If the client have doubts about your ability to work you may be replaced. In order to be prepared you should have a clear vision of the product as well as preproduction information. You need to know what you want to create as well as how you are planning on creating it.
