Wednesday 26th May
Today I went online and looked for various news sources featuring views on Maori. After finding different headlines I put links and titles of each article into a google document ready to be put into an informational poster.
Monday 24th of May:
Today we analysed One News midday news and recorded various news stories. As well and watching One News we also went through midday episodes of Te Karere to find different perspectives and understandings. We found that One News seems to look at many things in a negative way while Te Karere looks to the positive areas of the stories.
My Concept
My loose animation concept follows the comedic antics of a surf life saving patrol team made up of legendary water creatures like Godzilla, The Loch Ness Monster and Michael Phelps.
Conventions of Animation
- Voice Over
Because the characters are drawn, using voice overs is a great way to put life into the animation. Voice overs push the story forward by giving characters various personalities and helping the audience understand who they are.
- Sound Effects
Very much like voice overs, sound effects is a convention that adds to the overall feeling of the final animation. Sound effects make the world that the characters live in more real. It can also add to the comedy or tone of the finished result.
- Locations
Locations in animation can provide backstory or character details without saying a single world. And a great thing about animation is they can take place in any world in any time and in any place. Location is a convention that contributes to portraying the overall feel of the final film or episode.
- Parody
Parody is a convention that makes people laugh. It normally goes after things that people are aware of like important events in history or famous scenes in past media. Much like satire it presents a new spin omen things and can also make people think, but normally it is used in a humorous form in animation.
- Characters
Every animated feature ever has had at least one character. Characters push the story forward and give the audience something to relate to. Each character is very unique and contributes something different in the setting they are in. Characters are very important
