Sound Track Creation | Project 3 | Wonder
About
This lesson we decided to dedicate our time to creating a soundtrack that could be used as the theme music and or background music to our final animation, moreover using and manipulating multiple audio clips in garageband I was able to create a useful and well laid out sound track.
Genre /Style
I chose the mix up and compilation of genre's and style I did because I believed that they would work well with the animation overall and ensuring it was completed according with the relevant house style and finish. Retaining house style is important within any project because it is the fundamental building blocks towards putting together a finished project.
Relevance
The soundtrack has relevance to the project as the story is about adventure and drama for example there is sudden change between each verse that plays relevance to the overall narrative of an adventurer and a lost snowman.

Representations of Ethics in Animations | Project 2 | Research
Why does the write of the article believe Rio 2 is problematic in terms of its representations?
The writer believes that the movie can be seem to be racist when it comes to the actors playing the characters. He makes clear that there is some racial pyramid uses within the movie for example all the white-voiced characters at the top (British underneath America) while darker brown skinned voice characters are at the bottom.
What are PEPs and why are they an issue for racial representation?
PEPs stands for Problem contexts, Entertainment contexts, and Performance contexts. He tells us how black people have to be above normal in animated films, they either have to excite the audience or act the villain to play a part.
Why does Da Costa believe we end up with stereotypes in animation?
He believes that animation companies are sell outs moreover they try and gain more for themselves. They choose the financial gain over moral obligation which causes the film to be rushes and racial stereotypes aren't dealt with.
What does Turbo say about social mobility?
Turbo tells us that social mobility is only available for white people, while the other characters (blacks, Mexicans and so on) are given stereotypical jobs, for example the Mexican characters in Turbo are given jobs at a Taco Stand.

Story | Project 2 | The Chilled Snowman
Short
In the beginning there is a lonely freezing cold snowman who seeks warmth and companionship. Through achieving this he realises greater potential in life. Moreover on his travels he encounters meetings with several characters including a Penguin and another adventurer who aid him on achieving his ambition in life. The expected running time of the animated short would be 1:40 - 2:30 minutes.
The animation will be a short film and will not be made into a TV series or animated online series. I chose to make the animation a short film because I recognised the potential in it only being a short film, moreover no additional sequels could be made from it.
