Job Roles

- With the positive feedback given by the ..... we began medially with our second presentation. 

Illustrators - Grace, Rebecca - Both illustrators produced the still concepts inspired by my previous iterations of the animations style frame. They both took that role forward and with their skills produced the characters which are to be used within the storyboard and the animatic. 

Myself / Emily  - I given myself to produce a short animatic, illustrating a section of the storyboard, hopefully to give the viewers and BBC an idea of what we aim to see the ...

Group Collaboration

To get this project rolling and everyone engaged I Thought the best way to approach this idea is to see the illustrators previous work. Likewise with the animators to find out there strengths and weakness. The illustrators had a lovely concepts

Illustration Collaboration

23/03/17

Group A:

Illustrators - Grace, Rebecca 

Animators - Emily, James B, James C 

With the task at hand, given by the BBC. This project began by getting to know our groups and collaborating with the illustrators. The day was divided by all of us gathering research on the latest topics and events via news that had sparked our interest, and with our collective research we could condense it and focus on one particular topic that we felt could connect to the audience on a global scale.

Idea development

- We have gathered and noted recent news articles to which we find interesting Hart warming content 

notes - 28/03/17

- The Refugees 

- “ Boy embarrassed of vitigo meets dog with the same skin condition”

- “Formally abused dog saves 3 year old girl she finds naked shivering in a ditch”

The Homeless  - local news feed 

- The homeless /The big issue, interviewing the people gather research and discuss about their stories (interview) members of the public (The young generation 16/25 yr) and let us hear their views and opinions of the homeless. Questions like “ Why do we ignore the Homeless”. 

- Although the news feed would be based on Norfolk, the concept of the ever-growing concern for the homeless effects on a global scale. Not only would this connect to our Norfolk public but it will speak out to other regions.  

Initial Animation content 

- Our aim is to humanise the homeless, and change the perceptions of how we, as the younger generation think and feel about of the homeless. A small change for the better. 

Style: 

- Simple use of imagery, bold, clear and simplistic use of characterisation, visually pleasing to grab the attention to the audience. 

- Colour: Vibrant and textured, illustrating vibrant colours and textures, such as (brush marks / watercolour). Will enhance the aesthetic of the animation, the mixture of colour and traditional mark making will give a sense of safety and friendly approach for young viewers. Likewise the use of vibrant colours can and will portray emotion and a sense of equality to all.

BBC Brief - 23/03/17

Social and digital video 

notes - Topics to cover and consideration when developing our pitch 

Target audience - We aim to reach to a younger audience (16/25) and to connect to the public on a wider scale, socially interactive, viewing via Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat e.t.c

Concept - It has got to be “punchy”, visually appealing grasp their attention. the visuals must also be clear so that if the content is to be muted then visually the footage is clear to understand. 

Platform - Consider the major web platforms that are popular and would reel in the viewers. i.e ( Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, BBC East, e.t.c

Ratings - The BBC revealed data of their most popular viewed content, Age reviews (25/35) male and female is the highest. 

Women are more engaged 80% 

Women engagement of content - Love, Shock, Sad 

Male engagement of content - Shock, Annoyance, Laughter 

What to consider 

Collaboration with the illustrators pitching our content 

- Keep in mind of the audience retention, how long the audience will sit and watch a footage. This can be quite troubling, if the content does not visually draw in their interests than it is more than likely that the audience will avoid or 

Consider the target audience - What is it that interests that age group, visually and the topic of the report. 

Keep the audience engaged, keep them guessing, pro long the footage an interesting events. 

Emotion - Wow!, important issues?, could it reveal something?

Humour 

Entertainment 

Inspire - Have an impact of the local audience sand global.

Peoples stories - Making connections that can speak on a global scale.

(Explainers stories) - BBC web page (Guardian, illustrated styles to approach stories).

Base on current affairs! (Topic or a theme) how does it impact my life. The content can come from anywhere, think of an idea, pitch for next week. 

Vital information
