Estings evaluation

I was going to make a short 2-D hand drawn animation, but unfortunately, due to time issues I ran out of time to make it so I have no animation to show. I also had a variety of character desings, showing different eyes to portray emotions, the cat as a small 'chibified' kitten, the back of the cat, how it's fur colouring was, from the front and different styles of eyes and mouth, as well as a short but very large storybaord, showing shot length and angles for each shot, with a hidden E4 logo in the picture hanging on the wall as well as the E4 hair ball sliding down the screen (but it went missing, I think it has been thrown away by someone from another class). Although I didn't like any of my ideas, but they were the only ideas I could think of. The cat idea isn't suitable for being an Esting let alone a animation in a lesson. I feel like it was a terrible idea and I shouldn't make it, I am ashamed that I even thought of it.

Audience mood board

Target Audience

My research shows that my target audience is, well, a little surprising, their sports choices (They actually have got sports they like) for teenagers is obviously football or none at all, but they have also chosen rugby and hockey as their favourite sports. Another surprising thing is the fact that they had difficulty choosing their favourite clothes brand, so I had to spend a while suggesting clothing brands, but it came to just being primark. Although the only unsurprising thing was their entainment choice, gaming. The main game styles chosen were; shooting games, fantasy and survival horror, which is very unsurprising for teenagers. Their foood choices were also very unsurprising, consisting mainly of fizzy drinks and unhealthy snack foods, also their main choices of film were comedy (Darker/Rock) which, for thier age group of 15-16. But my research was extremely biased as I only asked teenage boys, in the future I will definitely ask girls to have wider and far more accurate research.

How to gain employment in the media industry

To  get employemnt as an illustrator (Or any other jobs) you can look on websites such as the Media Guardian or Mandy.com and other specialist websites ands apply yourself, but another technique is to network and go out to talk to people working the a media agency. I looked at the Media guardian and gathered infomation.

Proposal

• Hairy hair balls
• 2D drawn (if it goes wrong it will be cut out)
• 10 seconds long
• On a video camera
• Through sound effects and maybe music
• No issues to confront
• 2D drawn/Cut out
• Amber Foyster, 16, I have made claymation and a 2D drawn animation in the past, doritos dinosaur live action film and a pimp my chair video

The one page synopsis must have:

The event which starts the story

The decisions and actions which the characters make to achieve a goal

The obstacles they encounter and how they overcome them

Whether they win or lose or achieve their goals

And the end of the films and where we leave the characters

You put this into your one page synopsis so when you are selling to directors or film makey people they want to make your film and give you money so you can make it. This gets them interested in your idea and choose yours over other films.

My idea

A cat cleans itself and then vomits up an E4 logo hair ball.




A dozy cat wakes up during the early afternoon to give himself a clean, licking his paws sleepily and mewing as he cleans his whiskers then yawns, but wretches suddenly and his eyes widen. Digging his claws into the purple cushion he was sleeping on his hair raises as he desperately tries to cough up his hair ball, but a slimy, hairy E4 logo hits the screen and slides down a little, smearing mucus and saliva on the screen. He smiles and curls up to sleep again.

Synopsis'

One sentence:
Two young girls are taken to a home in the country side with their father while their mother recovers from an illness in hospital, but they find forest spirits hidden around their home.




One paragraph:
Two sisters named Mei and Satsuki move into an old country house closer to their Mother, Yasuko, who is recovering from a long term illness in hospital with their Father. They find out that the house is inhabited by susuwatari which are small dark dust sprites which drift away, but in an attempt to follow them younger sister Mei runs into the forest surrounding the house. In which she finds a large cat like creature which she names Totoro. A few days later the sisters fight and Mei runs to the hospital which is miles away to give her Mother some corn she grew in an attempt to make her better faster, their neighbours manically try to look for them but Totoro brings her home. After returning home a few days later, while waiting for the bus to return with their Father on it in the rain, Totoro appears beside the two sisters and calls the many-legged cat bus which takes them to their mother's hospital, where they leave their home grown corn on her windowsill. And, to their joy, she does return.

Ideas for E4 animation

My first idea would be a chat show with a QI theme, perhaps bringing celebrities or guests onto the show, asking completely random questions and talking about completely stupid things, like watermelons.

Comment
'That's a cool idea. I would definitely listen to that.'
'that sounds funny, i would love to listen to that!'

My second idea would be a game, movie and TV show themed comedy show, making jokes about anything possible or reminiscing on the stupidity or inaccuracy of what goes on in them.

Comment
'This sounds hilarious. I think that it would be easy to start with but may possibly run out of jokes...'
''this sounds extremely hilarious. i would enjoy listening to that every day of my life'

My third idea would be when the public ring up and we have a few rounds of quick fire questions which no one would ever know, like 'WHY IS MY HEAD MADE OF MAYONNAISE?!' and generally scare everyone who rings up for an hour or two.

Comment
'I would definitely be up for that idea. To get people interested, you should give a prize to people that actually get a question right.'
'this idea seems interesting, i would enjoy listening to it and i would like to hear peoples reactions to the strange questions.'

I  have sent out a questionnaire to a variety of people, which was my primary research done on a one to one basis to gain an overall idea of what people thought of Estings, but also in my questionnaire I had open questions to gain people's opinions and ideas on Estings but only done on a one to one basis. I found out from my questionnaire that my classmates would rather have Estings made purely from the imagination, no parodies or famous people in them, just something completely random and imaginative.

These statistical graphs are used for quantitive data only, as they are only concerning the numbers

Estings

*Something I forgot to mention, to do well I would have to include quite a bit of purple and the E4 logo, as it is being used for E4 to keep it successful

 

 

Comments from Youtubers

 

ImThinkingShhhh - I love this

 

Ushiku89 - Nope it's brilliant. When my gf showed me Amazing Horse, this was my response.I think we know which is the superior product.

 

jaygames19 - just amazing the horse at the end cracks me up :D

iDoogle3097 - If this ever goes off air I will cry

Dafydd Val Valient -          

I absolutely love this, I frowned so hard, and my bottom lip went wobbly. To get a reaction like that from something like this is truly worth a big thank you. I almost cried lol, poor Mr tescuphead, damned for all eternity, a no win mobius strip of a life, destined to repeat over and over. Maybe I read to much into these things. Thank you :)

Talixir -          

This is heart-wrenching. I love it. I want one. I also want a flying teapot, that would make mornings easier. :) lovely stuff

Paul Taylor -          

If he had a straw, he could drink tea forever, because as he drank it would constantly refill his head. Lucky man.

caremnhasvideos -

Then I shall build upon my compliment so you can appreciate it more! I saw this on the telly, laughed, said, "Awww how tragic!" (I was drinking tea at the time) and then told my dad about it later that day. He laughed at the mere concept and demanded I find it online so he could watch it too. Great work!

greenagoo -          

can I have the name of any drugs or medications you use on a regular basis? I want to live like you do.

DiscreteNerd -          

I never knew that the creator of this was so... so amazing!!

I have made two types of thaumatrope, both started with two images on two circles, one had the images connected (A bird and a cage) which were folded so they were back to back and then the two papers tabs had two holes punctured into them, two elastic bands fed through and tied to the tabs and then you span it around with enough force to give the illusion of a bird in a cage. The other was two images glued to a wooden stick, back to back and spun around to give the same effect.

RESEARCH TYYYPPPPEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

Primary Research

 

Primary research is when you go out and gather infomation by yourself, allowing you to choose what you reasearch and how. If you gather it yourself you can become more familiar with it, it will make more sense to you and you will gather the infomation you want. You can gather it by asking people questions and making observations of things or perhaps a survey/questionnaire, there are many benefits to this method but of course with benefits comes weaknesses, because you are collecting your own data you could collect incorrect or useless infomation. You could present primary infomation in many different ways, depending on wether it is qualititve or quantitive, so it could be a evaluation or presented in a graph of some form. So it could very useful in many situations as you could collect infomation and present it in any form. As an example a questionnaire can be sent out to find out what people think about Estings videos for E4.

 

Secondary Research

 

Secondary research is infomation that has been gather or based from other people's findings, so an instant weakness is that you have to gather data like they did, or their infomation could be wrong, which can be difficult. But a benefit is that all the work has been done for you so all you have to do is find it/research it. But it gives you more infomation than you could perhaps gather on your own, which is another advantage. But any infomation you found would have to be researched for its validity as it could be false. This can be helpful in many ways as all you have to do it find the infomation as it has all been done for you. Again depending on how the research has been collected it could either be in a graph or presented as an evaluation. For example you go onto the internet to find out about previous E4 Estings videos and who won before and what they look for.

 

Quantitive Research

 

Quantitive research is when data is analyised in a mathematical way to either approve or dissaprove of an idea, basically wanting quantity of data rather than ideas behind it. A upside to this is you can get numbers and a general idea of what people think in numbers so it can be easily made into a graph so the infomation can viewed and made sense of easily. Generally this form of research is done with closed questioned questionnaires or phone calls, just to get simple numbers for their research. This is helpful as you can get very straight forward infomation so you know what is working or what isn't. An example of this is when an advert says '98% of people said yes to this product' so you can get quick percentages to make things look better than competitors.

 

Qualitative Research

 

Qualitative research is based on opinion and open questions, wanting to know more about the individual and their thoughts and opinions on whatever you're asking them about. Based more on the quality of the answer given and not so absorbed in the numbers for research. A good way of doing this is with group discussions or open questioned questionnaires so all the answers have depth, menaing and no two will be the exact same answer. This is useful because you will know what every individual thinks is good/bad with what you are doing so you can work on your audience as a group to please everyone other than just being told numbers than don't conclude anything. It's difficult to to analyse this form of research but it's not impossible, the data has to be put into broad catergories and presented as an evaluation. An example of this is an interview with individuals and listening to their opinions or listening to a group's idea(s)
