FMP story

Story: My story will consist of the main character (stickman) finding a pencil and drawing his way to a female stick person in a picture frame.

Start: in the bedroom with me (human) at the desk drawing a stickman when he is distracted and has to leave the room. When he leaves, the character will come to life and walk around for a bit. after about 5 seconds, he looks up at the room and sees a woman in a picture on the wall. As he look around to use to get to her.

Middle: The character looks to the desk and finds a pencil. He jumps up to grab it and misses a couple of times but finally gets it. He starts to draw some objects which don't really get him anywhere because he has only been alive for less than 5 minutes. He draws himself a brain and puts it in his head, resulting in him getting smarter and making more useful objects to achieve his goal. After a long period of drawing random and sometimes useful objects, he is finally able to reach the woman on the wall.

End. As the two characters meet, they fall in love and live happily ever after. Then when the human comes back, he sees that things have moved and the pencil has disappeared. When he sees that the stick woman has got into the other piece of paper, he rubs out the pencil and draws a family around the 2 characters. 

Survey Responses

I feel that the survey responses have been really good and I like some of the responses that were given.

1. Would you watch this stick mans adventure in real life

Yes: 6

No: 2

Other: 0

Here I don't remember why I put other but it extends the amount of options I suppose. I understand why people would say no which is why I should have had a "Why" question following
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. What should the plot be?

He gets a girlfriend

Lintching

N/A

Him waking up to a bad day full of failed events

He meets a girl and dies

what ever you want

goes maccies

he could the hero of the world

if you know you know

I like most of these ideas like getting a girlfriend and be the hero of the world. Although being hero of the world seems like a great idea, I feel that him getting a girlfriend is more adventurous. For some of these answers I wouldn't put unhelpful but just "out there" ideas
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. If the stick-drawing came to life, what should it do?

Eat KFC

Fall It got no balance

N/A

fail at life

Explore with world and all its wonders

vlog

order a burger

make hime explore the world

pro-create

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Do you think that the idea of a drawing coming to life is a good idea?

Yes: 6

No: 2

Depends on the situation: 2


5. Why?

I didn't want another roy situation

just depends

Because its unique

Cuz it totally wicked

i think it will look cool

sounds like good bants

because its more interesting to watch

WHy would it have been dead in the first place if it's possible for such magic to be alive

These are great responses because it is what people think about my idea and that they are all positive. Even though I have no clue what the first response is trying to say, I'm just happy the rest are mostly positive
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. What should I call the stick figure?

Dave: 1

Alan: 3

Will: 1

Daryl: 2

Other: 3

"Other" options:
WILL WORKMAN

macs

I am actually disappointed in this one because I was hoping to call him Dave, but I expect I should listen to the audiences responses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. What music should I have in the background?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mUfOs-CTCw I would watch if the music was this

pff anything

Rock

I like the fact there are 2 actual songs in these responses and 3 saying I should choose.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. How long would you plan to watch this animation?

30 seconds: 1
1-3 minutes: 3 
3-5 minutes: 2
5-10 minutes: 2
>10 minutes:0
Other: 2
"other" option: 1 hour
only last 3 minutes

Here I feel the responses are reasonable even though my questions are not great. I have got 2 options for 3 minutes and 2 options for 5 minutes.

Looking at this, I will try and make the animation around 3 minutes long.

fmp feedback

My feedback

The feedback I got from my lecturers during my presentation was mainly positive. The main point was that I did not have a plot to my story which is a big problem regarding that all I have noted is just me at my desk drawing a stick person and leaves the room. then the camera moves to the desk, over the paper and the animation begins. I have been given some ideas such as have the character see a picture of a female stick person and have him try and use the pencil to create things he thinks will help him get to her. Or, have Dave run around my room and move things so when I get back I would look confused in why things have moved or disappeared.

Besides that, I was told this was an interesting idea and to keep it simple.

mindmap ideas

Here is my mind map with my basic animation ideas. It was enjoyable just coming up with these ideas even though I may not be able to use any of them just because I don't have the skills required to create something like a first person view of going to work, although it would be easier than 3rd person I still couldn't do that. My 4 main topics are Humans, animals, apocalypse and personifying objects. I figured that my idea would probably meet the human topic and in 3rd person. I think my idea would be just be a clash between real life and a drawing, such as a view of my room and the camera zoom into a drawing on my desk. From there the drawing moves across the paper and creates some sort of story.

emojis

In todays lesson, we were told to make Emoji's.  When we started I was

Once we started and I realised my emoji's didn't turn out great I was














Because I couldn't make a good looking emoji I was
















Then my colours didn't work like they should have and I sat there








Then finally I finished my emojis. I was
















When I looked round and everyones looked great, I sat there













Looking back, I realised I should have changed the tones of the colours (shade). So Im there

Mini Research Project

In this mini project, we were told to go out and ask people how they manage their time whilst working. During this, I have learnt that only a small number of people use time management apps where as 11 people said they never use time management apps. From the people who said that they use apps, they told us that they used reminders/ calendars on their phones to tell them what they need to do and how long they have to do it. Even though people 11 people meet their deadline "most of the time," 13 people find they use they sometimes use their time effectively. I think that the 3 people who Use their time effectively "all the time" are the people who always meet their deadline. This means from the 13 who "sometimes" use their time effectively, only 11 meet their deadline and 2 either never or rarely meet it. This shows that they are either distracted or do not use time management apps. This is where I can say that not many people have caught onto the idea of time management apps. From this, I think I should use some time management apps whilst I do college work at home just to make sure I get more work done.
