(Note minimum time requirements were not stated in writing in either lecture slides or the brief and I wanted to go with a commercial aesthetic, which is short and compact. I was satisfied that I covered all requirements well in the time of my clip and cleared the time of my clip with my tutor previous to hand in :) )

Stop Motion Images 2

Unfortunately, I came across a problem with my last photoshoot - the shirt Curtis was wearing had white stripes which matched the white tone of the backdrop, so when I selected the background, it selected the stripes in his shirt too... So, I brought the kids back in for another shoot, thanks to their parents, and also fixed up a few minor issues with expressions etc that I overlooked in the first shoot. This shoot went really well. :)

Interface Improvements

In addition to the creation of my movie, I also pulled up my interface with some improvements to the loading screen. I made this a smoother transition and tweaked the aesthetics to fit with the rest of the interface.

Note that my interface is based on a physical gadget with buttons similar to those on a gameboy (see image) to the side of the screen for selection and navigation.

Today I did a photoshoot with twins Grace and Curtis - they were amazing kids to work with and I got some really good shots to use in my movie (see below) :)

Research/Inspiration Project 2 - Video

This is a similar product with a similar target audience to my interface, only my interface is based on energy-saving. Hence, this is an ideal aesthetic to model my video on, only adapting it so that kids realise saving energy is the object of the game.



I intend to use the start of this commercial (the greyed out part) as a precedent for the statement of the problem in my video. This is an easily recognisable and humourous way of putting forth the problem to the audience.

The following are simply other children's commercials that I found beneficial in getting inspiration for style and storyboarding of my video.
