Things to consider.

Animation evaluation and how to finish

Over half term I will check blogs for tasks 1-4. You need to work on collecting feedback (task 5) and starting your evaluation (task 6). After half term we will screen your work to the class and I will give additional feedback. Then we can work on finishing evaluations.

Please check the brief and make sure that you have uploaded the following to your blog. 

Task 1: research into the history of animation

Task 2: Treatment and pitch

Task 3: Production portfolio (use checklist and or brief – include as much as you can)

Task 4: Finished production (post to blog or to Youtube and embed the link)

Task 5: feedback (see below, start over half term)

Task 6: Evaluation (see brief, start over half term)

Collect 3 types of feedback:

1.    Discussion – verbal feedback from teachers, other students, target audience

2.    Questionnaires/focus group questions

3.    Reviews and feedback from online exhibition (blog and or Youtube)

Post feedback to your blog

Use the feedback to write your evaluation, details for evaluation are on the brief but the client and audience feedback is most important

Questions for the class/audience:

Who would you say is the target audience?

Where would you expect this animation to be screened/available?

What do you think about the technical qualities? (camera, editing, animation)

What about the aesthetic qualities? Does it look good/professional

Does the animation show much creativity?

What do you think about the content and storyline?

What do you think about the visual style? (set and colours)

Is the character movement smooth?

What do you think about the sound effects and music used?

What are the strengths?

Can you think of any areas for improvement?
