being taught by 7-8year olds.

Yey todays session went realy well. Rachelle did a fatastic storyboard for us ans Tin and I began to make the backgrounds. Hopefully we will get everything ready on tues ready to film on Thurs. I can't wait to see the final product of our poem. Hopefully it will be something we can take into schools and will be able to show ur children if doing something similiar.
Whilst on my 2nd TP in the first year I saw didg blue being used in a year 4 class that I observed specifically as they were using ICT. They were telling the story of the spanish Armarda so I know what the children taught me.

• you must make small movements and must take several frames of the same shot. My group decided 7 was the best number.

I used this information to help Tin when the video she took of Rachelle and I moved at super speed. Gotta love the fact that 7-8 year olds taught me something, lol.

The final product of the classes work was fantastic and the various staes of the journey that they had filmed seperately fitted together superbly. They ;ater put a voice over and music. The children learnt alot and so did I!!

Animation

Yeah animation this week. Liz suggested a history group project of how to practice safe sex but... Hope Tin and I can produce something amazing.

We are of to the Barbican for fish and chips and then home to do my PE diary. Can't wait to do our digital animation in next weeks seminar. :) xxx

My First Blog

Hmm so never done one of these before.
Hope those who come and view it aren't too disappointed, doubt mine'll be as impressive of the likes of Krys who seems to know everything about the internet! IMDB-wtf.
I can see how this would be a really good idea in schools as long as all children and parents understand that it is a secure, safe space environment.
