Fantastic Voyage

Chosen Bio-Scientific Scenario

The chosen life cycle for the animation that I shall
create is the Slime Mold life cycle. After looking at
some initial ideas, the life cycle of the slime mold is a
very interesting one, that can be displayed in an
animation well. The cycle is very fascinating, and it
matches the intended audience well.

Chosen Audience/Market Research

The market audience for the animation is Key Stage 2 children. The
primary reason is in Key Stage 2 science it is then when children
begin to learn about cells and life cycles. Obviously, it's not the advanced
learning of GCSE level, but the animation should/will be easy to understand
for younger children. It will give all the necessary information that is
required but will be demonstrated in a simple manner. The animation use
of bright colours will appeal to said audience and will develop their
understanding of cells, life cycles and slime molds.

Influence Maps
These are two of the influence maps
that Ive created. The Forest will be
very bright and colourful, as it should
be a safe environment for the young
boy. I was thinking about the idea of
the boy being animated in 2D, with the
rest of the animation being in 3D. This
would be a style that would interest
and look fun to the intended audience
of young children. The boy, himself,
with have a original boy scout design,
but will look cute and innocent, as we
should feel a connection with him.
