I have had quite a few ideas on what style I'm going to do for my animation. The animation will be aimed at year 6-7's which personally I think is too narrow an age group. I was bullied quite badly at school and I would say year 7-9 would be a better age group to target. I will probably bring this up with the police cadets.
Animation style ideas
-Stop motion
Drawing over the top of some of the photographs
Puppets/Shadow puppets
Claymation
-Mixed media (digital and traditional)
Photographic element cut up such as buildings or background images giving it a Dada feel.
Maybe include childrens drawings I could maybe get these from the police cadets so they are more age appropriate.
I could also used patterns in the back grounds or on the characters themselves like I have done in these examples.
I could drawing the scenes in sand or mud. But I don't think that may suit the style or audience I'm going for.
I want my animation to have a zany, gritty, cult, retro feel to it.
I also need to consider if I want my animation to be grayscale with key points in colour, monochrome or full colour.
Points I want to bring across in my animation
- I want to humanize the bully not demonize them, because they are suffering too.
- I want to get the audience involved, maybe by acting out some of the characters this will help make it more relatable and memorable.
- What support is out there, how to deal and cope with bullying.
- Let them know that bullying can happen at all ages.
- To include consequences of bullying.
