This document discusses pre-production details for a project including font choices to set the style, two layout designs using different color palettes and fonts, necessary software and equipment, contingency planning for potential issues, health and safety considerations, and a proposed 8-day schedule to create a pixel animation fight scene between soldiers and a monster. Fonts were selected to evoke medieval fantasy, futuristic sci-fi, and military briefing themes. Potential issues addressed include file loss, delays, fuzzy animation, and animation mistakes.
2. Style sheetFonts
Brush Script Std:areason Ihavechosen and
my product isbecause it resembles whatyou
medieval fantasybookswithin theworlditself
title asithasitrootswithin fantasywhich my
Arial black: a reason I have chosen
and may use this font is because it
is simple and stands out as in most
sci fi settings there is always a
sense of futuristic technology but
it also has a simple ness to it as
well like it would be easy to
understand in our time
Matura MT Script Capitals: a reason I have chosen and may use this
font is because it has that medieval fantasy feel to it like it is a font
that elvish society would use for signs and book text.
Felix Titling: a reason I have chosen and may use this font is
because of how It looks like text used in a military briefing
before a mission which fits with the theme as my characters are
soldiers so this would be the kind of font that would fit.
For my final product I will use these colours as both
can be used in fantasy setting and a military setting
meaning they would fit well with what I am
designing
3. Layout 1
For this layout I have used a Varity
of light and dark colours which I
think go vey well with each other
including using the contrasting
fonts Matura MT Script Capitals and Felix
Titling which I think also compliment
each other showing the contrast with
our hero's and the world they are in so
it fits with the theme with this in mind I
think I may use this as my games front
image
4. Layout 2
For this layout I
have used a simple
range of colours
which I think looks
quite good
however for the
moment I have
used simple text
fonts for any words
used in the lay out
and I may change it
to Arial Black
for the main game
itself
6. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
loss of files always carry backups of files
computer crashing save files every so often and carry extra back
ups of files if data is lost
falling behind do work at home to catch up
not finishing product off in time finish off work in spare time
pixel animation looking to fuzzy Go back to the pixel model and redo it to make
sure it doesn't appear fuzzy in animation
mistakes in animation like certain bits of the
animation appearing where they’re not
suppose to.
always check which frame your on to make
sure the animation appears in the right place
and if not find the frame where the animation is
suppose to appear and put it where it suppose
to be
7. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
eyes becoming strained from looking at
computer screen to long

a while and give eyes a rest
