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.

Individual Storyboard | Project 2 | The Chilled Snowman
Form
We chose to do our animation project as a short film. We knew this would be the best option as our style of narrative and storyline would be suited to be an online show or on the television as it is a one off storyline that would work through a continuous web or TV series. The narrative as a continuing web series would not make practical and logical sense.
Animation Type
The animation type we selected to use was rotoscoping this was because this most suited our drawing needs, more-over we liked this style because it was was artistic and contemporary and you could greater understand the narrative storyline as it made greater sense and the viewer can understand the storyline better through the medium of this animation type. The style of Rotoscoping in the film is essential to make sure that people fully understand the storyline and make logical sense of it as the narrative can be explained throughout the look of the film.
Genre /Style
We chose the genre and style of our film to be action and adventure penas well as an art style form. We chose to make our film these genres because that was the most effective use of our storyline and it is what our storyline is. The selected genre's are an effective explanation of what are film is about and the genre's work because the film is based around two adventurers seeking the light and going on an adventure.
Storyline
In the short film a lonely adventurer is seen interacting with his surroundings and on his travels meets a small snowman that is seeking comfort from a companion and meets the adventurer. They go on travels and adventures, on the adventures they come across things in their path that is stopping them going forth, they overcome these initial fears and triumph on
