Today is my deadline for my second unit which included two briefs. One on cyber bullying and one live brief on rasing awareness in schools about bullying.
For my cyber bullying brief I made two posters and a zine. I am not happy with the quality of content I produced and if given more time I would have restarted it all. The cyber bullying bleed into my live brief, I used one of the characters I had made in the first project as the main protagonist in my animatic/animation. I was much happier with the outcomes in this project, I feel project 1 just got turned into part of the process of project 3 (the anti bullying brief). This could have been avoided if I had chosen a none bullying related subject for project 1.
There is several things I wanted to include in my unit hand in but I may not have the time.
1. A booklet full of helplines an what each one deals with.
2. A page on Lucy (my main protagonist) to help the kid empathise/sympathise with her.
3. Some talking points for the cadets to expand on during their presentation.
4. To have more finished animation.
I felt very strongly about both briefs because I have faced both regular and cyber bullying. I always wanted to find a way to share my stories and have them benefit others. What concerns me about bullying is that a lot of adults view it as character building, severe bullying is not character building it is character destroying. I really wanted to make that clear to parents.
