1. Initial Plans
Daniel Firth

2. Initial Reaction
My initial reaction regarding the set-brief are
that I could create an animated music video,
possibly for original music. As I believe I did best
in my animation and music video topics and I
enjoyed them the most as they gave the most
creative freedom, I might create original music if
I have enough time so that my entire project is
original and it showcases what I am able to
create given time and recourses.

Rock
Soft rock
Indie rock
Electronic
Pros:
Softer/slower songs,
powerful meaning
behind most songs.
Most songs are
about love or loss,
which are easy
topics to animate.
Pros:
I enjoy some
artists of this
genre and the
music isn’t as
hard as rock
meaning it will
be easier to
make a video for.
Pros: little/no
lyrics in most
of the songs
so can make
animation
about almost
anything
Pros:
I enjoy rock
music and
most songs
tell a story
with the
lyrics
meaning I
would have a
story to
follow with
my
animation.
Cons:
The tempo of
the music can be
quite fast
meaning the
video would
have to be fast
paced to fit it
which would be
difficult
Cons:
Fast paced music,
little to no lyrics
means no story
to follow,
meaning difficult
for a video.
Cons:
Some songs
don’t have a
defined topic
meaning they
would be
harder to
create a video
for
Cons:
Some songs are
very long meaning
the video will also
have to be long
which will in turm
make it more time
consuming to
create and perfect

5. Mood Board

6. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected?
Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
A repetition in my images is the colours which are dark and
follow the same theme of people and humanoid beings, some
also use a contrasting colours to bring out the characters.
How will your mood board influence your final product?
• My mood board will influence my FMP as I am going to take
influence from the animation styles and how they tell their
stories.
