M3: Optimise the content for use in the final animation

Once I believed I have finished my animation & exported it, I decided to show it to some of my peers to gain feedback and see what I can do to improve it before I submit it to the client. I showed it to 3 different individuals and they all had the same feedback which I expected. They said that they liked my animation and how the acts that would be performed will appear from the wand following the theme of magic. However, they had 3 additional things that I could add to make it better, these were:

1. Make sound effects flow
2. Add music to flow throughout the animation
3. When it comes to showing the different acts, although it is obvious what it is, I should name what the acts are, just in case it is confusing for some of the audience, like with the scroll - it doesn't seem like it is showcasing a poet.

I made sure that I took their feedback and when I looked back to re-watch it, I agreed with the feedback they gave because I knew there was something missing so adding these 3 additional things would make it realistic and more enjoyable and understanding to watch.

The sound effects I decided to add was cheering/applaud, I decided to add them once the magician shows each performance, because it adds that effect that if someone was to actually perform, of course, they would get support and applaud when they succeed, so the magician doing magic tricks deserves an applaud and him showing the different insights of the performers also deserves cheering. Once I showed this to the same 3 peers, they enjoyed it and it made them feel like they were apart of the crowd as well and believed that the magician was actually in a theatre because now he has an audience that is cheering him on, but although I added this in my first draft, they felt like just having the sound effects by itself didn't flow well as it kept cutting, so I needed to add music in the background. 

When it came to looking for music, I wanted something that's upbeat but not too extreme, something that can flow throughout the performance and can overlap with the clapping. It took a while to find because I would find either music that was extremely upbeat, scary, or too sad, but eventually I got there and managed to find a suitable magical one that can fit in with the magicians performance. Once I showed this to the same 3 peers, they believed that it fitted in with the atmosphere of the performance and didn't overlap or sound funny with the sound effects of the cheering as it familiarised the fact that they are technically watching a performance.

After I found my sound effects and music to add to my animation, I moved on to the easy bit, which was just adding text after the magician shows the different performers because my 3 peers believed it would be ideal to add it and familiarise themselves with what the different performers are. After I added this and showed it to the same 3 peers, they became comfortable and understood what the different performances is as it gave them to ability to know what it is and understand the animation that I added to represent it.

Adding these 3 things, then made my animation much stronger than it was before and I believe that once I send it to the client I would be successful with it and they would understand the mini narrative that I have created within my animation.

Omniya Tajni P5: Create the content for the animation P6: Complete and edit the animation content in line with the plan Comparison of Storyboard & Animation As I was making my animation, I was following my storyboard because it presented me the narrative of my animation and the length of each shot, so I was able to follow it. This is my storyboard drawing in comparison to the actual animation, I have tried to follow it to the best of my ability. With the shots that I included in my storyboard, I followed it all and knew the way I wanted to make it, but once I finished copying my storyboard on to my animation, I realised that it was only 10 seconds long, which wasn't enough.  This made me think on what more to add, so I decided to showcase more performances. I started off with just music and artist in my storyboard, but during my production I added musicians, poet and juggling. I didn't add these to my storyboard as there wasn't enough time.   On my storybo...

Omniya Tajni M2: Compare a SWOT analysis for the intended animation for the client This is my SWOT analysis for my intended animation for the client: S trengths: - The animation welcomes the audience to the app, as the brief said that this animation will be used for an introduction for a mobile device app. - My animation is off a magician making a 'magic trick' this presents one of the performers that will be in the festival and give the audience examples of who they will be seeing. - The animation will be created and placed in a theatre, with an audience, this will make it more realistic and make the audience familiarise themselves on the fact that it is a festival. - My animation has an original character and its family friendly and unique as I will be doing it a way that has never be done before.  - The theme of my narrative fits well in the brief, as it will have one central character that will showcase different performances...
