Superhero Stop-Motion Project

A few months ago, we were given a project in which we would complete in Art and Design &Technology and just a bit in English. In this project we had to first decide if we were in pairs or not and if we were, we had to ask the person you wanted to be with if they wanted to be with you. Then, we had to design and think about our character and the villain (if we had one) his powers and abilities, his motivation, his clothing, his symbol, the link to their name and the colour scheme. Then we drew them on A4 pieces of paper and labeled him. After that we had to think about the storyboard and what the dialog would be for the storyboard. We did this task in English. In Art after we designed our background, we started to draw it with blue koki. Then we painted our background in which took a few lessons. Then in Technology, we all sat down at one table and talked about the do's and dont's of the making of the character. We would be making our character out of Plasticine but we weren't allowed to make the villain or anything else with their Plasticine. After a few lessons of that, we finished and we started to record in the stop- motion app. We are still recording but when we do finish, we have one more thing to do, Voice-Overs. This is were the dialogue comes into play. Our "Hand in of Final Stop-Motion" is on the 11th of August, 2017, different classes have different due days. But just because it seems very far away doesn't doesn't mean that we have loads of time. We have 2 hours a week because we have Art for an hour and Technology for an hour. We do have English a lot, but the English part of the project is done so we only have Tech and Art to do it.
