Research into Animation.

There are different types of styles and methods included in Animation. Each individual style tends to be filmed using different methods to create different effects, and create a certain atmosphere.
For these different types of animations, you could use different materials.
E.g. Clay, Cut-Out, shadow/Silhouette, 2D Drawing and more. 
For my Animation, i am going to use Modelling Clay. I have made this decision because i think it will be good to be able to create something out of Modelling Clay.
       

Research into Media.

There are different types of Film and Animation. You can get Clay Animation (ClayMation), cut-out, 3D, cellular, and more. With film the only different types are really just different styles of filming. Different types of filming, this creates different effects for the audience. If you want to create a suspenseful moment or scene, you would film with certain technique to allow that effect to get across to the audience.

Some of the biggest and most well known Clay Animations are shows like Wallace and Gromit, and Morph. Both made by Aardman Studios, these are both animations filmed using clay, and Stop-Motion Techniques. Stop-Motion is a form of animation and can be used almost anywhere. Whether you are filming clay, card cut-outs or real people, stop motion can work incredibly well.

                         
Today in my blog i have begun research into film and animation, talking about different techniques of filming and animating. And have gone through my previous post 'Challenge and Action Plan.'
