Task 2/2: Interpret your research to help develop your product (U10:LO1_AC1.

2)

Instructions:
1. Answer ALL of these questions. There are five in total.
2. Some are tasks which require collecting images together to form a MOOD BOARD.
3. PROVIDE EXAMPLES for each one of them in the form of URLS and/or images.
4. Explain WHY you have chosen each one (what you like/don’t like: reflection).
5. You will be expected to add small aspects of research to your weekly blog after doing
these sheets.

Question 1/5
Select three genres of ambient music you think your chosen audience could like. Pick your final choice and
say why you chose it.

Specific examples of music URLs (research):

1. https://youtu.be/0d8R1u4vj1Q?si=0nZkZZB8ZQJNESlb
2. https://youtu.be/Nd7e4SNjGBM?si=r71iYlfD20nAqMPF
3. https://www.youtube.com/live/jfKfPfyJRdk?si=6wlxYRvCuztao_wq

Reason why you like each one (reflection):

1. I like this ambience because it is from a game I use to play when I was little so it brings peaceful memories
and a sense of comfort with it that a believe many teens would appreciate even if they weren’t familiar with
the games.
2.Nature ambience is usually the first thing that springs to mind when thinking of calming atmospheres and I
do tend to personally listen to it and enjoy it in my spare time.
3. lo-fi has always been a popular kind of ambience music especially with all the big live channels that will play
lo-fi 24/7 for students studying.

Final choice and reason: Im choosing to use the undertale music because it to me is the most calming and
enjoyable out of the three as well as having nostalgic aspects and being well known from how popular the
game was and how equally popular the music came to be.

Question 2/5
Create a mood board of AT LEAST 3 environment based sets of backgrounds which you like by selecting several images
per setting. Say where you got them from and why you like them. They MUST be from 2d animations.

Environment 3 (research: add URL for each as well as name of artist or work and why you chose it)

Final choice and reason:

Question 3/5
Create a mood board of AT LEAST 3 character styles which you like by selecting several images per setting. Say where
you got them from and why you like them. They MUST be from 2d animations.

Character type 1 (research: add URL for each as well as name of artist or work and why you chose it)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howl%27s_Moving_Castle_(film)

I chose sophie because to match with my Ghibli style and howls moving castle bedroom it only felt right as she
was a magical character of sorts and was very soft spoken and overall a very sweet character.
Character type 2 (research: add URL for each as well as name of artist or work and why you chose it)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Witch_Academia
i chose diana because she is a witch and had the similar hair colour to the character I had envisioned and it
from one of my favourite shows that I use to calm down too and I know other do as well so I thought it would
be a suitable style of character.

Similarly too Diana Akko is the main character of the show I like, little witch acadmeny which inspired the
whole witch set up including her outfit being similar to the one I want my witch to wear.
Character type 3 (research: add URL for each as well as name of artist or work and why you chose it)
Final choice/style and reason:

Question 4/5
Create three mood boards of AT LEAST 3 colour schemes which you might use on your chosen environment/style.
Ideally these would be schemes with a minimum of five colours in each. Say why you like them.

Colour scheme 1 (insert image here)

What you like about this scheme: like the magical effect the colour palette has like the stars in the night sky.

What you don’t like about it: i dislike how dull the blue is in perspective, if I were to use this I would perhaps
change the shade.

Colour scheme 2 (insert image here)

What you like about this scheme: I love the gradient of the same colour

What you don’t like about it: I feel it would make things look to similar and nothing would stand out

Colour scheme 3 (insert image here)

What you like about this scheme: I like how similar it looks to howls bedroom in terms of the different colours
of his trinkets

What you don’t like about it: the shade of purple and green need to be slightly lighter.

Favourite potential choice for your animation and reason: Colour scheme 3,m I feel like it would work best
with the room I had envisioned with the difference in colours while still working with each other.

Question 5/5
Create a mood board of AT LEAST 3 post-animation effects which you like by selecting several images per setting. Say
where you got them from and why you like them.

Effect 1 (research: add URL for each as well as name of artist or work and why you chose it)

I chose this because I thought the rainbow effects looked nice and would suit my witch.

https://youtu.be/lpfs9dsS-CU?si=UKdDq8I3v7jq0Moo
I chose this because having the gold particles looked like magic and I thought it would enhance the vibe I had
going.
Effect 3 (research: add URL for each as well as name of artist or work and why you chose it)
Final potential choice for your animation and reason: I chose this one as I thought I could make a certain object
dissolve with magic to make the experience more immersive. if she was actually casting working spells.
Im choosing the First effect as it feels more magicall towards my style of animation and I think it would work
nicely.
