1. Conditions to continue to the next level include 100% attendance, completing a stop motion project, and completing a summer project. 2. Stop motion is an animation technique where objects are moved in small increments between individually photographed frames to create the illusion of movement. Time-lapse is taking still photographs of a live scene at regular intervals to compress time. 3. Students are tasked with planning and storyboarding their own stop motion project in groups, considering the resources, roles, and technical skills needed such as lighting, angles, and camera settings.

2. Recap and Reminders
Conditions for continuing on to A2:
• 100% attendance for the rest of this term.
• Stop Motion project completed.
• Summer Project completed.

3. Stop Motion
What is stop motion?
• a cinematographic technique whereby the
camera is repeatedly stopped and started, for
example to give animated figures the impression of
movement.
• For example an object is moved in small increments
between individually photographed frames,
creating the illusion of movement when the series of
frames is played as a continuous sequence.

4. Time-lapse
• The time-lapse technique is where still photographs
of a live surrounding are taken at regular intervals
and combined into a continuous film.
• When played at normal speed, time appears to be
moving faster and thus lapsing.
• Processes that would normally appear subtle to the
human eye, e.g. the motion of the sun and stars in
the sky, become very pronounced.

11. What makes a good stop
motion

12. What makes a good stop
motion
• Narrative
• Audio
• Having a lot of images so that its smooth
• Using text
• Something with a story
• Patience – as a photographer
• Detailed plan
• Good lighting
• Different angles
• Good models / animated figues

13. Your Task today
• Working in groups (3/4 people) start to plan and
storyboard what stop motion you would like to create.
• What Resources will you need to do it?
• What role will you play in your group.

14. Stop Motion
• Remember you are a photographer and must show that
you are using your camera skilfully. This is a test of your
technical abilities
• Take into consideration the lighting that you set up or the
time of day and conditions of light if you are shooting in
the landscape.

15. Timelapse Camera
Settings
• Use a tripod
• Set your camera to its lowest resolution (medium)
• Set up your shot – angle/perspective
• Fix ISO to 100 – smoothest possible grain.
• Using Manual exposure M, set your aperture and shutter speed so
that the light meter is on 0.
• Change to manual focus and focus the camera.
• You will roughly need between 10 - 20 images for every second of
footage.
