Setup, Design and Planning

• Each group needs to use the student portfolio as a guide for what needs to be achieved (‘milestone’)

• Have a good understanding of the roles required for each project team eg. The ‘blogger’ for the day may also be responsible for another role.

• Everyone must take a turn at each activity

Production demonstrationScripting and Storyboarding

Shooting and editing the Stop Motion Animation

Let’s begin…

• Bring a mouse…it’s really useful.• Have a practice – use a toy to animate

Recording the learning BLOG – Weebly

• Log on (Teacher provides group with username and p/wd) – this needs to be recorded by all members

• Select domain (name should reflect the project eg. www.Poorpeopleriseup.weebly.com

• Go onto page and Create a NEW blog• Check portfolio grid for each blog post

content

What makes a good BLOG entry

• Concise (short), straight to the point• As blogs are date stamped, there must be a

blog entry for every lesson spent on the project (you can’t blog at the last minute!!)

• Privacy – Never disclose your fullname, location, sex, age

or other private information indentifying you or others.

– When photographing things, be aware of people’s privacy (no faces, uniforms)

How Good is this Project!

• Consider– Time

• Spending a period in class building your set may not be a wise use of the time (do it at home)

• Come to class ready to maximise time; shooting, editing and blogging.

• Check-in with the Portfolio guide – this contains milestones and when they’re due.

– Pride in your work• Everyone will get an opportunity to see other

people’s animations – make them GREAT!!
