here the actor wears it and a camera videos it and catches the movement of the actor and then the computer can be used to create the character. CGI can also be used to create a whole film or create parts of it, such as mythical creatures. However, my animation was a still shot and is relative to 'Aardman; animations productions, such as ‘Wallace and Gromit’ and ‘Morph’. The production only lasted around 30-45 minutes, or other films such as ‘Chicken Run’ lasting 1 hour or more. But behind the making of these productions, a lot of time is taken from pitching a story, scripting, voice recording, making the characters and settings, filming and editing. This is why Aardman normally takes around 1-2 years till a new film or production is out. This reflects on what I have done for my production, as I have spent 5-6 hours on filming/ taking pictures alone, and this was only done to create a 2 minute film opening. And this didn’t include the time taken on the planning, story board, script, voice recording or editing.My media production represents gender mostly, as women have domination over men. I have chosen 
this so that it would reflect on the characters original backgrounds. Such as the character of Tifa has a background of being tough and not being pushed around easily. The way that I have used this in my production is by using dialogue, tone and actions. ‘Do you want an arm taken off?!’ This shows that’s she has domination from the dialogue and tone used and posture of the figure. The human also has more domination over all the figures, as she can control them in how they move and what happens. This is shown when she enters the room and moves the figure to where she wants it. This point also reflects on me and how I made them, as I had the most domination as I was controlling how and where the figures were throughout the filming of the production.

instituted and distributed by ‘Aardman’, ‘DreamWorks’ and ‘Pathe’, as they all have a background of working with animations and getting a good variety of audience. I chose ‘Aardman’, as they create still shot animations and would be useful towards my production. I have chosen ‘DreamWorks’ and ‘Pathe’ because they have worked with the animations made by ‘Aardman’ and together, they have made a success in the world. ‘DreamWorks’ have also distributed other films such as ‘Shrek’ and other motion pictures such as ‘Sinbad’ and many more.

grounds. The games and etc. made from ‘Square Enix’, where the figures are from, are rated 12+, meaning I would have to include this in my audience. However, my production is a comedy and adventure and is suitable for the whole family. And is based around the stories of ‘Toy Story’, and ‘Small Soldiers’, meaning that my production is family friendly. And from the feedback received from the viewers, I have come to a final decision that my film will have the target audience of 8+, meaning that my production would be a ‘PG’ if rated.

hat do you think?! I feel like a doll’. This was used and was a play on words as they figures are dolls, yet they don’t want to admit it. This combines well with the type of film I have decided to make. I have also made it so that it would want the audience to know what happens on the adventure that the figures take. This was by making it slightly unclear at the start and making it slightly obvious at the end that the film was going to continue, this was because of the slight cliff-hanger, as the figures were about the leave for the adventure. Possible questions that the audience could ask themselves. Is the adventure successful? What do they encounter?

What do they encounter?In the making of my film opening, I have used ‘IMovie’, with which I have been able to put all the photos I have taken for my film onto this and create them into a film, so that they run smoothly. This was simply done by minimising the amount of time that the photos would be shown to about 5 seconds minimum of each photo. This was an ideal time, as it would allow enough time for the picture to be seen and the next picture to combine and move consecutively enough with the previous. With the spacing done, I was able to record the voice overs by using the Mac to record the voices and editing them by using the pitcher tool, which allowed me to edit the voice by making it sound more female or male. When this was done, I had to split and cut the voice to the exact parts wanted and then had to fit the pictures around the voices, this was either by making then bigger or smaller in time. I had also been able to include simple transitions for the titles which move to the sides slightly to make it visible and different, I also decided to do the titles on a black screen so that they are visible and don’t block any of the film.
From the preliminary, I have learnt how to create an animation using still shot, which is very time consuming but very much worth it at the end. I have also learnt how to create a film using IMovie and put audio with the film, not when it was filmed but in the classroom and using the Mac to record the audio, so that it would be clearly heard.
