Evaluation Based On Questionnaire Feedback

Evaluation

From collecting audience feedback, there are a few things in my animation that could be changed or edited differently. The majority of people asked felt that if the animation had sound effects, then this would have helped the animation to build and create more tension and therefore help aid my animation become an tragedy. The majority of people also felt that the animation lacked music to make it more interesting. They said that the animation would have helped make the animation feel more dramatic.

One thing that was liked in my animation was the fact that the orange had facial features, which meant that this gave the orange a character for them to follow. Every person that I asked felt that my animation had an easy to follow storyline. They said that the soundtrack of The Great Escape helped make them realise that the orange was escaping from the fruit bowl.  

Characters, Props and Set

Characters

My main character is an orange that comes to life when it sees another orange being eaten.

  

The other character is the woman who eats both of the oranges. Her face never appears on screen.

Props

The only prop that I use in the animation is a fruit bowl.

Set

The animation is set in my kitchen. The main part of the animation is set along my kitchen worktop, whilst the rest is set on my kitchen floor.

How My Animation Was Devised

How My Animation Was Devised

To get ideas for my orange animation,  I decided to search orange stop motion animations on YouTube to help give me inspiration. I knew that for my animation I wanted to make the orange move out of a bowl of fruit but I was unsure as to how I could effectively manipulate the orange into doing so. I watched the following clip to help give me ideas:

Frames Per Second
I intend on using 10 frames per second. Having 10 frames per second means that as the pictures are close together in sequence, this means that the persistence of vision will not be a problem because it will not be very jumpy.

Potential Problems
A potential problem that I could encounter whilst filming each scene is that the camera battery could die halfway through filming. To overcome this problem I am going to make sure that the battery is full each time I film a scene and if it isn't I shall change the batteries to provide minimal disruption whilst filming. Another problem that I could encounter is the lighting in the kitchen where I am filming. The natural lighting will change throughout the day so I need to make sure that I film at the same time of day to keep the animation the same.
