TO day iv been looking at some development of my idea Lucky coin iv been think and look at different images and videos of slot machines I will post some picts and videos of what iv been looking at but to some it up iv been thinking that this idea will be relay good on account of time that i have for a film im pretty sure this would fit in to 1 min tops give or take 3o second for opining title and end credits
so one idea is to use found object iv been think of buying a little toy slot machine for this project or even build one out of metries as for the animation proses two things come to mind using stop-motion elements or after affects this could also have the elusion of motion graphics don with in after affects .

3) Lucky coin
i think this has more of a hummer to it so i would put it with in the adult of hummer
Idea of £1 coin going into gambling machine the person wins on it and one £1 coin rolls away unseen goes through peoples feet scuffled into dark corner un noticed cleaner notices it puts it in and plays and wins
audience

the style of witch i would do this is stop-motion pixillation of people
had a look at this viedo on you tube and i think i could use a style of after affects to achev what i want with this



the link below got me think about the sceen wen the con goes on its epc adventure through the pub crossong the flor and obstical of proles legs and feet and this sort of siuet pixaltion reely could do this film idea justic fro the coins jucter persion lookink toward and up

With regards to the dyslexia film iv spent some time narrowing down what i want to do with this film

2) Dyslexia public info film
Audience varied depending on who i target

People seen struggling with dyslexia have different way of learning visually ,pictures,moving imagery. im looking at different audiences primary schools collages and adults at uni different metrals for leering as some dyslexics are at disadvantage
I feel the style of the film would be interesting to use mixed collage almost like Dada movement found objects and stop-motion.

This video i found on you tube and its a dada movement sort of film i relay like the way how the text has ben animated and this is something smiler to what i would like to trie with my dyslexia film but with a little more mixed imagery

Today iv also spent some time thinking more about the my design proses wen it comes to animation style and what i want to use so iv written a little about each story idea i have and what i want to use to make it each story idea is a rough concept.

1)The scarecrow -trailer
Adult horror
Someone creating s.c. he is an evil person collecting peoples souls he is an evil musion he brings the s.c. to life by playing a serton metal song this activates the s.c while this is happening there is a crow sat on Hess shoulder as the s.c is brought to life the crow is struck an becomes part of the s.c. the crow is Hess evil sidekick the crow goes into the peoples eyes and helps steel the souls
Proses stop-motion animation
The type of mood i want to give the film is a dark era type with many textures and an interesting crueler pallet i want the scare crow to have a specify look almost like corps bride and nightmare before christmas style of armature iv also looked at the movie 9 for a couler pallet that iv found interesting theres also a good use of textures.
