Major Assignment Proposal

My option will be number 2 so that I can make my animation fit to the major project.

I am interested in working with community groups and projects in the future to help them promote the work that they do and to maybe sow a seed in a child’s mind so that they can either say no or actually know what they are actually getting themselves into when a older.

Although my work to date has been ‘work in progress’, I feel as though I’d like to be involved in the making of the animation. I would tell the story of the fun activities that the ‘Fun and Freedom’ group enables the young carers to have. I believe that any future funders will be drawn to the fact that this group does an awful lot of good work for these young people, and future young people, and they’d be willing to support this good cause.  

I would either use Adobe Flash or drawn 2D animation for this project. It will start with live footage of a young carer drawing, it will then turn into an animation to show the fun and exciting things they do whilst there and then it will turn back to live footage.

My strengths in relation to this project are that I am pretty good at research and I have plenty of time to dedicate to the project. I’m getting a little better at planning and I will be dedicating at least 48 hours per week to the project. 

Unfortunately my weaknesses are a lack of confidence and self-esteem and I have difficulties in communicating problems as they arise to my tutors. These will be worked on throughout the project.
