Project 3 DSDN 112

PRECEDENTS








 I felt that I liked the idea of making a stop motion as I felt it would be an effective way to present my movie. I looked into stop motion videos on you tube and vimeo for ideas on how to make it and I really liked the the theme where they make stop motion out of paper, I felt that it would reflect my app well as my app is made out of text. i liked theres videos from vimeo;

all of these videos use paper to create stop motion, some give the vintage feel which I like as if reflects my app, while others use different colours of paper to contrast the different imagery and to make it bold and stand out.

FIRST IDEA

My first Idea is to make a 3D world made out paper with words on it, such as magazine or news paper pages and have stop motion of a cut out of a person walking through it to reenact my app





 I made two of the walls to trial it but I felt to execute this well it would require a lot of time so i felt i should simplify my idea.

IDEA TWO

my second idea was to make people out of paper such as news paper or magazine paper as it would reflect my app. I felt that they would be easier to stop motion then making the 3d world in my first idea. I first made silhouettes of people but i felt if i made them they would take time as each movement i would have to cut out a new person.
so i tried to make a cut out of a person which moved so i made different parts that moved such as arms and legs and then put pins in them so they could move. after making one in white i felt i should make one that contrasted with it as i could use an off white background like my app and then the person wouldn't stand out. So I made one in red. I haven't figured out how I could incorporate them. 



i made a small stop motion to show how i could make them walk.

STORYBOARD

this is my story board i felt i would make it simple. in the movie i want ti to walk through what the app can do. with a person being lost and writing on the wall saying they are lost, I felt that she should write on the wall as I felt it reflected my app as it incorporated the idea of using words as a main idea. they would then place the phone on the ground and the app would fold out of the phone the would then play till the main screen then go back to them saying they cant find there friend then would show how they found how they are on campus and then from there would stop motion of them walking with the walls will have a overlay of text just like the app but putting in on the actual walls on kelburn. 

WALLS

in my movie i want there to be iteration with the user and the app such as opening the app and showing how they use it. but also have things that happen 'in the real world' to relate back to the app. the two ideas i have come up with is having the user wright on the walls saying that they are lost, so the audience knows that they are need something to help them direct them on where to go. 
Also in my app when it goes into 3D view it has the walls made up of text and this text tells them where to go and where they are located. I want to incorporate this idea into my app by having stop motion of the user walking though kelbun and have text overlaying the walls

I am a small stop motion to see how it looked, I found that this was very time consuming as on each frame i had to move the text and then line it up to where it was stilling in the previous frame. I also found that there was to much going on when I had them up and you lost focus on the person walking. 



FLASH

I had great trouble with Adobe flash this time around, It spent most of the time freezing or quitting which resulted in me spending hours trying to export the movie parts of my app in to quick time so i could try make my movie in iMovie which worked with less tantrums

ADD ON'S

I added a new part to my film that I didn't put in my story board. I felt that i should explain to the user what each main button did so I had the sham hands used in my app to point on each option and tell the user and audience what each button did.




MUSIC

I spent ages trying to find the best sound to fit my film, I wanted a tune that was happy and quirky as i felt it would give a positive spin on the film. I decided on a tune that i found on http://freemusicarchive.org a song by Oskar Schuster called Sneeuwland

MY FILM

My film is found on my Vimeo Account https://vimeo.com/52429863
