2.  One idea I have for this project is creating a
stop motion animation using plasticine
characters to create a record of the
marriages of King Henry VIII. I think that
this animation could be used to teach students
at primary school a little bit about British
history in a fun way. The animated characters
would be cartoon like and colourful to capture
the students attention. We could build the set
using cardboard to make it 3D. This record
would include music after editing to add
emotion to the sequences.

5.  Another idea that I had for this project is to create a
CGI animation to create a record of the life of
animation. I think that this idea would be a good way
of education and information people about the life
of Michael Jackson in a clear and understandable
way; this animation would be made for anyone who
would like to find out about Michael Jackson’s Life
and anyone who is a fan of him. The animation
would be created through designing sets and
characters on the computer and putting all our
images and movements of character together to
create an animation. We would include informative
narration, speech and songs of Michael Jacksons for
music.

6. Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, dancer, singer-songwriter,
musician, and philanthropist. Referred to as the King of Pop, Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all
time by Guinness World Records. His contribution to music, dance, and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life,
made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on
the professional music scene along with his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5, then the Jacksons in 1964, and began
his solo career in 1971.

7. Advantages Disadvantages
 One advantage of developing this idea  A main disadvantage would be the fact
is that it would get quite a lot of that this type of animation has to be

 Another advantage of creating the  Also, we may need to only specify on

 One last advantage is due to the way  Also, we would need to do way too much
in which this animation is made, all research into Michael Jacksons life as
the characters and sets will be able we would need to get our information
to be created exactly how we want exactly correct otherwise the
them to look animation wouldn’t be very informative.

8.  My third idea is to create a hand drawn animation,
using hand drawn images to create a record for the
events that took place during a The great fire of
London. I feel that this idea is a good way to
educate people - mainly students, about the
historical event that took place many years ago in
which they will be able to learn it through a fun, clear
and interesting way. The animation would be
created through hand drawn images, in which all the
sets and objects e.g. the fire and fire trucks. We
would include sound effects and informative
narration once the animation has been edited and
put together to form an animation.

9. How did the Great Fire start?
The Great Fire of London started on 2 September
1666. It started in the baker, Thomas Faynor’s shop.

What happened in the Great Fire? What happened after the Great Fire?
In 1666 there was no organised fire brigade. As a result of the fire, London had to be almost totally

10. Advantages Disadvantages
 One advantage of developing this idea  One main disadvantage of developing
would be that we would be able to this idea would be that our artistic
create our sets and images exactly ability may not be up to the quality
how we would like them as we would that is needed making the animation
be drawing and colouring them. look fairly unprofessional.
 A second reason why this animation  Another disadvantage is that the
would be a good idea to create is story of the great fire of London is
because there is a vast amount of quite complicated and involves many
information that is available on this different events. This isn’t a very
event making it easier for us to easy story to follow making it
create. extremely hard to create
 Another advantage is that an  Another main issue is the colours and
animation for this event has not been the details in the drawings. If we
created as far as I know, so this don’t get the colours correct for
animation will be very interesting to example: the colour of the flame. The
my target audience and would help animation could look very basic and
them understand the storyline a lot not very interesting as it would look
more clearly. very unrealistic.

11.  My final idea is to create a CGI animation
using computer software to create a record of
the events that took place during the sinking of
the titanic. I think that this would be a clear
and easy way to help those interested in the
titanic to understand what exactly happened
on the day the titanic sank. As a group we
would create the set using computer graphics.
Our central image would be the boat and we
may create other images such as people for a
more realistic effect. We would add narration
once the animation has been edited to make
the animation much more educational and
informative.

13. Advantages Disadvantages
 One advantage of developing this idea  One main disadvantage is the fact
would be that the storyline of the that there are already many

therefore it isn’t a hard storyline to we would really have to make this

that we would be able to make the the titanic using this type of
imagery of the titanic sinking look animation will be very complicated and
extremely professional due to way in we would needed practice before
which it would be created. creating our final animation.
 One last point at why this would be a  A final disadvantage is that this topic
