January 5th:
On january the 5th we started to do a recap of making a clay animation video for our assignment. We got our assignment today, what we have to do in our assignment is too create a model made of clay and to create a video with these clay models. I will have to make the clay models next week to do my videoing and if I have time I will have to make a background for my clay animation video. Once I have done those objects I will have to start filming my clay animation video and at the end of the assignment I will have to do a review on the animation video by discussing the animation and the themes and the ideas for my video.

6th January: What I have been doing today is been planning my animation story and whats its going to be all about and what its going to be a clay animation or a cartoon film.

13th January:What I have done today for my animation assignment is doing a power point on what the story is going to be all about, what type of genre it is  and who is this film is aimed at.

20th January: Today I have been finishing off my powerpoint to explain my animation film and telling the people what equipment that I need to create my film for example I will need a camera. Here is my power point that explains my animation film.

27th January: Today I have started to create my models for my animation video.

3rd February: What I have done today is creating more models for my animation video for my assignment.

10th February: What I have done today is that I have finished my models and now all I need to do next time is to print off my background posters for my film. Then I can start filming my animation.

24th February: Today I have been looking for my backgrounds that I am going to use for my animation video and I have found my background that is a boxing ring for my animated video.

3rd March:What I have done today is printing off my background for my animate video. My background is a boxing arena image.Here is an image of the background that I
am going to use for my animate video.

10th March: What I have done today is starting filming my animation video for my assignment and I have done about 5 seconds of the animation film so that means I have another 15 seconds to finish off the film.

17th March:What i have done today is started to edit my animation video and I have started to add titles and credits into the animation film. I have been doing the editing on imovie and here is an example of the editing that I have been doing.

Here's an example of my video where I did the editing. I did the editing on adobe premier. On adobe premier you do all the video editing for your short films or TV adverts. What edit in my video was adding a title to the short film, I cut out pieces of the audio and the video that I didn't like or want and I added audio in from free sound effects where I can download free sound effects for free.

This is my finished video that I have edited, filmed and made the models and the background. The title of my video is called Mohammed Ali vs Wallace. I did this film by myself with no person or people.

Strengths
The strengths that I had during this project was creating the animation models for my video and also planning the video on what the story is going to be all about and what tools I will need to create my video. The other strengths was adding audio to the film from YouTube and free sound effects.

Weaknesses
The stuff that I struggled with were trying to make the film 30 seconds long. I didn't know how to make the film longer so I had to slow the video down to make the film 30 seconds long. The other weaknesses were that I had to move the models very slowly while taking pictures of it to make it into a short film.

The equipment that I used for my animation film was a apple mac to do the film editing and the audio download and to use the stop motion camera to take picture of the models and then add the film onto imovie. I was going to use adobe premier but then imovie was better for animation films for editing.

Evaluation
I think i did very well in this animation video as I have planned what this story is going to be all about, I have planned my animation models on what they are going to look like and what type of audio and background I will be using for my animation video. I did very well with this animation video because I got the work done in time and completing the video in time and getting comments from people on how they feel about my animation video.
