We started off the day with the weekly quiz. This quiz was created by Jordan and it was about Micky Mouse. There was 8 questions and I managed to get 4/8. The winner of this quiz was Sami and the loser with the massive score of 1/8 was Billy.
After that we moved onto creating our pitch for our product. As Adam was not here today, me and Euan had to create the presentation and present it. The pitch is for assignment two task two and we needed to get feedback from people. We have decided that we will change the fridge to a safe that we will create out of Plasticine. I feel that this idea will work better as it does not really make sense that the bar had to be stored into the fridge.
For the rest of the day, we worked on our design log. We still had a little bit to do such as design some storyboards. We had a look at all of the feedback and we selected three different ones to write about. We have left a little bit of work for Adam to do as he was not here.
Overall I think that today we have made a lot of progress with the design log and we are clearer on what we want to design. I think that having a safe is a lot better than the fridge.

Today we started off learning about pre-production. Pre-production is where you develop your ideas prior to the process of production. There was three different websites that we could get information from. I created some notes about pre-production so I can refer back to them.
After that we carried on working on our animations. We did not really have a clear idea on the product we wanted to do so that was our first aim. In the end we decided that we wanted to advertise an energy bar. Then we had to come up with a name. We had a lot of random names however in the end we settled with "Zoom". My job was to design the packaging for the product. I was happy with what I designed and the logo Adam and Euan designed worked well.
We have decided that we want to create a claymation so Adam got us the plasticine out so we could have a look. We are following Euans design as we feel that is the best designed out of all of our story boards. I think creating the characters will be hard however it will be fun to design them.

We started off today with a word search. This was to introduce us to assignment two that is the planning for the animation. In the end I managed to find two words so I was pretty bad at it. I prefer to do them on paper compared to on computer.
After that we moved onto learning assignment two. Like I said, this is the planning stage so we had to design a brief. We were allowed to work in groups of up to three so I am working with Adam and Euan. We started out by planning some mind maps to work out what we would do. In the end we will be doing an action stop motion however we do not know which product yet. We also used Google Docs for working on the brief and that was very helpful because we could easily edit all of the work at the same time and see what each other is writing about.
In the final lesson today, we were allowed to work on assignment one. All I had left to do was to write about three more people in task two and start task three. In the end I managed to write about one more person in task two and completely finish task three. At home I will finish off task two and the timeline. That should not take too much time.

We started off today with a match up the word activity. Adam sent us a document with 5 images and 5 descriptive words. This was quite an interesting activity as it does help improve our vocabulary and our descriptive language. Adam also sent us a link for more vocabulary.
After that we moved onto working on our work. I carried on working task two as I had the most work to do on that. I managed to get quite a lot of it done but I still have some left. I am about half way through the work so I will be finishing it off over the weekend. I will also finish off task one as I do not have much left to write about.
Finally we learnt about task three of assignment one. This task is to evaluate two different animations. I think this will be easier than task two as all you have to do is explain each of the animations and say some strengths and weaknesses. I will start that at home and finish it on Monday.
