For my stop motion I have decided that I would create an armature
and make it re-enact some of the most iconic moments in movies. The armature
would start of in the form of an Oscar and then it would go on to transform
into different positions such as platoon death scene or the titanic scene when
they spread their hands out at the edge of the boat. Each of the clips would be
5 seconds each. My armature would be painted fully gold like the actual Oscars
trophy and would have a spotlight facing it. I may have to create some extra
props in order to help me re-enact the moments. For the sound I would be using
I was thinking that I would use the music that was used in the actual clip and
fade them into the next song. I would use the music from the clip I would
create. An example is if I was to create the pulp fiction dance scene, I would use
the actual music used so that people could understand what the movie is.
The target audience for my animation would be aimed at people aged
17 and up. The reason I set the age range from 18 up is because most of the movies
I am recreating are aimed for ages 18 up such as the godfather. Although I set
the age 18 up most likely people above ages 35 and up would understand more as
they are most likely to have watched the movies as most of the movies are from
the 1980s and 1990s so they would be able to understand it more. It would be
mainly for people who often watch movies and know a lot about them as the whole
animation is referencing movies so if you don’t watch movies you would not understand
anything that is going on.
The gender of the people who would be watching would be for both
male and female audiences. Some of the movies that I would be referencing would
appeal to women such as titanic and king Kong as they are romantic films and
some of the movies which I would be referencing would be Godfather and Pulp
Fiction which appeals more too male than female due to their gangster crime
features.
My audience would people who have a good interest in movies so
people who are studying media and media teachers would really enjoy watching
the animation as it gives them the challenges of trying to figure out what
movies are in my animation.
To make my animation I would be using an armature which most
likely would be an armature which I would create. The reason I would use an
armature to create my animation is because rather than using clay the armature
would be easier for me to move around and the movements would be more crisp and
clear. For the set I was thinking to use a plain black background as I wanted
all the focus to be on the armature so that people watching would not get
distracted and wouldn't miss anything which the armature would be doing.
