Pre-Production

Pre-production is the process of planning some of the elements involved in a film, television show, play, or other performance, as distinct from production and post-production. Pre-production ends when the planning ends and the content starts being produced. Pre-production is scriptwriting, storyboarding, casting, location scouting, and budgeting. It's all about planning and making sure everything is ready to go before the cameras start rolling. It's a crucial step in animation too, where you might create concept art, develop characters, and plan out scenes.

Software's I will use are: premier pro, after effects and stop motion

Mood board on my chosen topic:

Colour theory & Target audience:

Storyboarding:

For my storyboard I decided to base my story on littering and how its effecting pigeons. I wanted to create awareness for littering because I believe children from a young age should learn how to protect the world they live in by doing something simple as throwing rubbish in the bin. I decided to go from the perspective of the baby Pigeon and how littering is effecting his and his families life, hopefully making the viewer feel bad for them and want to help.

Script / Dialogue:

For my script I decided to create a name for my character called Percy. I wanted to give an easy and rememberable name as children are more drawn to alliterations. I wanted my characters speech to also resemble a child of the age of 7 so its more relatable in a way. I also didn't want to overly detail what happens to pigeons, just enough so they will feel sorry for them.
