Working Title:
Super Bun Trailer
Audience:
My audience would be children under the age of 10 years old. I would say that I will try to appeal to
both genders as when I was surveying people, it seemed to be answered by both genders about
equally, but I do feel that I may try make it more appealing to females as I am more familiar with
that area of appeal. The social status I will be focusing on more would be middle class (ABC1) as,
although the children are unlikely to be making any purchases, their parents would be trying to
make them happy and hopefully want to purchase them things to do with a show they like. And
from experience, it would seem that if a child has an interest in something, their family and friends
of them would get them related things as presents for quite a while. The audience will likely be
interested in shows like My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Adventure Time, and Care Bears as
these are all quite similar to the style that I am planning to create, with bright colours,
anthropomorphic creatures and the main character(s) saving the day almost every episode, with a
big group of friends to support them as I feel this gives them positive influences in their life.
Rationale (approx. 100 words)
Throughout the year, I have been doing quite a lot of sound work that has made me feel much
better about my ability to complete this task, as I previously had little to no ability to do any kind of
sound work. I have also done animating this year for the first time, through this, I feel that I have
gotten quite good at some parts of this skill and would be able to do a lot more now than at the
beginning of the year. I also feel this is appropriate for me as I have been researching children’s
interests and related aspects for my print project, and this matches up with my own personal
knowledge of what would be good.
Project Concept (approx. 200 words)
My project I am planning to make will be a trailer for a children’s show centred around a bunny
superhero that goes around the village they live in saving the day with the help of her friends. This
will be a cartoon, animated with bright colours and simple designs to appeal to the audience. I
have conducted research into my audience that I feel this will appeal to, as I feel this may help me
know how they like their cartoons to be, and how well it will appeal to them. I also did research into
how people animate different aspects, such as an average walk cycle or mouths, as I would like
some form of movement and talking in my work and I previously had not done any form of work on
those aspects, having done stationary characters for my previous pieces of work as I thought a
walk cycle would be too difficult. I had done research on Foley sounds, seems as all the sound
effects that I collected with my previous projects had been downloaded from online, along with
some of the music used within the films and games. Finally, I needed to do some research on how
best to draw my characters and backgrounds. I tried the mouse and struggled with it so I went to
experiment with graphics tablets to try to make sure that I would draw it the best way possible.
Evaluation (approx. 50 words)
I plan to evaluate my work at least at the end of each week through my development diary where I
will do a review on everything done in that week and evaluate how well that was done, I also want
to do one big evaluation at the end as well though to round it off and put it all together. I will be
asking others of their opinions and any improvements that they can suggest to improve it as well.
