The Year 4's learned how to create their very own stop motion animations to enhance a creative writing piece they had been working on. Initially they learned the technical aspects of photography such as lighting, camera angles, the 6 lens shots and the rule of thirds. They were then guided through the aspects of stop motion animation photography such as story boarding for film, character development for film, lens stability, materials for character creation e.g. claymation, scene and frame transition effects and background design as outlined by the Australian Centre for Moving Image (ACMI). Students, then learned how to shoot and edit the hundreds of frames they created using the Stop Motion Studio app and were very creative shooting their movies with their scripts in hand. Finally, they learned how to finish their products by exporting their video's to iMovie to record and edit their voice overs and background music for their target audience. Throughout the project students had access to a number of resources specific to creating stop motion animations to reference at anytime via a QR code. The final products were impressive. Well done!
