Gantt Project - Schedule


Today I Re-Planned out my schedule on Gantt Project. I prefer this plan because it is more realistic and easier to follow. It will help me to know where I am in the future during my film project.

Statement of intentions

For my project I am going to be doing a short animation film aimed for a wide variety of audience from children to parents. I would like to produce a moral story or a story with a confusing question that gets answers at the end with a twist.
I am going to be studying that makers of:
Kiwi

and Morph.
I am studying these makers because they use the same styles of animation i would like to try out. I am either going to use stop motion or flash animation. I am going to do a story about either an animal or a made up creature which is what both of these films have done. I also like the way the storyline includes a lot of narrative perspective to keep the audience intrigued with the films. Throughout the 'Kiwi' film there is restrictive narrative which keeps the audience guessing and wanting to know what the character is doing and why until the end. In the 'Morph' clips the audience can tell whats going to happen but the characters are completely oblivious to whats going on, this dramatic irony some humor to it.
I am going to use one of these narrative perspective techniques to base my storyline around so that I can help my audience understand the characters I create or portray an unusual view on everyday life.
