Stop Animation Experiment 4

We decided to try out a different way to display the title of the song "Moon Song" on screen. We cut out lots of little shapes of leaves and placed them on the OHP so that they looked like they were hanging from the tree. Then we took continuous pictures whilst changing the positions of the leaves, making them fall off as if blown in the wind, then forming the title of the song by moving into position. Below is the video that came from the pictures we took, which we are very proud of.
We thought that this was quite effective as it fitted in with the theme of the woodland style that we are starting our music video with.



However, recently we have changed our plans on this, and will not be using this technique to display the name of the song, as it doesn't fit in well with the transition from black background to white (light) background that we need.
We have decided to try to make it look as though we have zoomed in after showing "The Wild Wolves" with the moon in the sky and the stars, and then when we zoom out, it shows the title of the song, also in star form so it looks continuous from the band name. It is however, going to be stars forming the words "Moon Song" but this will be on what looks like a parchment, held by birds, so when the shot zooms out, the sky is now the light, and the parchment and stars is made by the shadow. This creates a smooth transition that we will practice as if it is the final try, and if it goes well we will probably use it unless we can develop on it and make it better.

  1. I think you should carefully experiment with your 2nd idea and then see which is most effective. I do like the leaves but stars would also be effective.
    Don't forget to reference research to improve planning mark.
