Applied Animation-Colour Script, Script & Anamatic- Week 5

Colour Script, Script & Anamatic- 

Week 5

This is the colour pallet we will be trying to stick to. As Palm Oil beans are red and orange, as well as the Orangutan's, it made sense to try and show this as much as possible. Our story shows that our rainforest scene will start out green and happy and end red and burnt. This is why the pallet shows a lot of different tones as this will make it more visually interesting for the audience.

This is the colour script that shows what I mean about the colour journey that our animation takes. This makes our animation quite serious, but since the cause is something more people need to be aware of and be worried about, this is why we felt it needed to show this kind of real danger they animals face. We also show the mother leaving as this ties in most animations, as the mother is always the first one to die as it leaves the young truly vulnerable.

This is the script I created for us to follow, this is because it helps us to follow a template of movement, sound and for when the scene changes. I split the scenes into shot changes and major plot developments or movements. This means that when we come to doing the stop motion, we have a very easy template to follow that can easily be understood. Becomes very easy as everyone in the group can now what needs moving at what stage. This is also so sound can be worked out so nothing will be forgotten when we come to filming later on.

This is one of the scenes, where the mother opens up the leaves and sees the destruction, I am happy with how this scene turned out as the background shows depth and how the diggers have impacted on the overall rainforest. At this stage, when adding in the background, we will be showing half of the background already gone, and the other half, being cut and burnt.

This is just where I was building up the scene and figuring out what motion would be best for the puppets to make. This was a good scene to work on as it included all of the elements we will be building, the puppet, the set, background and the construction vehicles.

These two images are from when I was trying to work out colour for the Orangutan's for the animatic. As I was doing it monotone, it was black and white, but after looking at it for a while it made them look too much like gorillas or chimps. This is why I will not be showing subtle colours for the Orangutan's as well as the leaves for when they turn red. This is just a small change I can easily make so it wont take too much time out of finishing the animatic. Although it is taking more time to complete than first thought, I want to pull my weight within the group and produce something I can be proud of and let the audience understand what we are trying to create when we pitch out ideas next week.

Stacey quickly did this target audience research page so we can understand who our documentary is aimed at. This is also to help with primary research as we needed to know who we could question in order to get a better understanding of what they understand from the Palm Oil, or if they even knew what it was.
