Story and Commission:

Project 3 (of 3) | Fantastic Voyage Pitch

Rachael Holyhead
Scenario |
Mitosis
 Audience Research 16-18 years.
The audience I will aim this animation towards is people
who have an existing, genuine interest in Science, biology.
Perhaps in the latter years of the 11-18 age category (16-
18), for those whove actively decided to study GCSE
Biology during their rotation year, and are considering A-
Level biology.
The reason being around this idea of fascination,
something that was clearly evident during the briefing
presentation, and ideas around science and something I
feel I want to include in the work to help inspire and show
the reality of biology which is its the very basis of life
itself, and a part of everything and everyone. Technically,
therefore, its for everyone. And in that regard, if its
possible, this animation will also be something that can be
appreciated across a wider demographic.
 I myself have prominent memories in Biology of a particular exercise we had to do often, where wed look under a
microscope at a slide showing a plant or animal cell, and draw an exact copy in our exercise books. Incidentally the
reality of biology I remember was really an isolated view of the microscope, where the fall off point for light cut
yourself away from the reality around you, but also limited you in what you can glimpse at.
This fantastic world is something we can only glimpse at, and remains unseen in most respects so must be written
and drawn in tidy, intricate diagrams. Similarly this world of science is dissected and placed out of context, in a
world of white beneath a microscope lens.
Terminology will be slightly more limited that the previous slides description. I.e. Less information into what makes
the chromosomes head towards either pole, and a more generalised look/understanding of these stages of Mitosis.
Key words include: Mitosis, Identical, Cell Cycle , Organelles, Chromosomes, Chromatids, Cell Divide, Cytokinesis
etc.
