Feedback

To gain feedback to help develop my idea i created an ideas board. I included a synopsis over-viewing the idea, the target audience, facts, a range of objects i could use, and where my inspiration came from. The target audience i am aiming my animation at is 16-24 years old. Although it is an animation, that could be connected to younger audiences, i don't think its appealing for anyone younger. I would place my animation on BBC3, their target audience is the same age and their motto is 'never afraid to try new stuff', which fits well into this category as i want my animation to have a quirky feel.

My feedback sheet consisted of two questions, 'what other types of animation/objects can be used?' and 'what do you think of the idea?' 

For the first question, an answer was 'would be better without animation'. If i wasn't to do animation i wouldn't choose this overall idea as i think it would be quite boring. The reason why i decided on animation is because from other videos i watched, none of them told the story in a simple way. This is what i like about animation as you can have fun and use hidden connotations to tell the story.

For the second question answers i received were; covering all emotions could be shown very well through this i like it, sounds like a good idea for a series, could use human bodies the whole way through, sounds interesting but you will need to stick to a really dramatic or quite simple type of life.

I like the idea of using humans to tell the story, this clip here is an example of what i was thinking of. The camera is placed from the ceiling facing the floor, and the actor is laying down. All the objects surrounding him move, giving the illusion that he is moving. I would like to include this type of animation within my story, although maybe not the whole way through.
