Animation evaluation/reflection questions

For this task, take your time and think about your experiences of this assignment.
You must answer ALL of these in order to pass this section.
Your answers should be at least 2-3 lines long for each question in order to pass.

Task 1/3: Reflect on your own research. (U2 3:3.2)

This is about the three worksheets you did as well as anything you have added to your production blog by week, such
as learning about Phonemes, facial structure or anything else you feel is relevant.

What did you use from
your research that helped
you?
What did you discard and
why?
What else would it have been
more useful to know from your
research if you did it again?
My sun and cloud designs that I made where inspired by the sun and clouds
pictures that I got from my secondary research. Using the secondary
research of the sun and cloud I was able to create a friendly looking sun and
a menacing and evil looking cloud.
From my primary research survey, I found out that the audience enjoy more
dramatic action scenes as multiple people selected scenes from cartoons that where
cool and dramatic but unfortunately, I cannot make a dramatic sun and cloud battle
sequence as it would be too complicated and time consuming.
I would ask an audience what they would think a friendly sun and an evil cloud
would look like and then I can design a good sun and cloud character based on
what the audience think It should look like.

How would you find this out I would gather this using qualitative research as it will give detailed answers
(P/S/Q/Q)?* from the audience. Which I can use to draw detailed and accurate characters
*primary/secondary/qualitative/quantitative

Task 2/3: Reflect on your own design, practical skills and build. (U2 3:3.2)
This is about the practical skills you learnt each week. Feel free to go back over the Animation Teams channel if it
helps you remember. Answer each question, including any relevant screen grabs.

better and cloudier.

This scene is very well drawn and they make the sky, sea and sand in relation its characters.
The detail on the characters isn’t massive but its enough to make it look good. The characters
 are on a short loop which is only a few frames but its simple but effective. Also the
focus on improving. background is simple but also fits the theme of the scene well. My animation could also
improve on its background design because I feel that my backgrounds are lacking in variation.

Task 3/3: Reflect on your audio ideas and work. (U5 3:3.1)
This is about the audio skills you learnt each week. Feel free to go back over the Animation Teams channel if it helps
you remember. Answer each question, including any relevant screen grabs.

What did you use from your Audio mixing in adobe premiere pro. I used this to adjust the sound effects that I recorded to
audio skills lessons that helped that it sounded more believable. By using the sound effects function in premiere pro, I

I had 3 different sound effect samples for the “sun shining” but I could only choose one for

my sound effects so I had to discard the other 2 sound effects.

What would you now include and I would add more than 4 sound effects to the animation because by adding more sound

What audio skills would you like I was confident with all the audio skills that where taught in the lessons and I feel like I have
to revisit if you did it again? no need to revisit the lessons.

this song that was made specifically for this episode of Phineas and Ferb is a very nice piece of
audio that fits perfectly with the animation and the genre of the show which is a fun, creative
children’s show. Compared to my animation the audio in mine is very minimalistic and have
has a few sound effects and one partial piece of a song.
