CREATING A STOP MOTION MOVIE



Shared by Blanca González: 

The objective of the activity I want to propose to my pupils is to create a story on images. The final work, depending on their possibilities, will be a comic or a stop motion short movie.


During this Easter holidays I asked them to read a comic, ‘Asterix in Spain’ as a way to introduce the next unit.

On first place we are going to analyse from page 5 to page 8. They have to summarize what happens as if it were a storyboard.

Afterwards I´ll explain the different types of shots in comic and in stop motion.

shots in comic:

shots in stop motion:

Next, they should classify the different frames that there are on the three previous pages analysed.

Then they must invent a story and make the storyboard.

Later, they will choose between a comic or a stop motion to carry out their creation, like these ones:



I’ll propose these applications they can use to create:

2. C for Content
This unit covers contents referred to the elements that make up the visual language.
The world around us is shown in colour. The things we see are not only differentiated by their shape, size, also by their colour .
Every time we observe nature or an urban landscape we can appreciate the amount of colours that are around us thanks to the light that affects the objects.
A fundamental element to build visual messages is colour.
The contents of this didactic unit are:
- Light and the perception of colour: how we see the things that surround us.
- The light colour and the pigment color. The mixtures.
- The chromatic circle: primary and secondary colours.
- The qualities of color: tone, value and saturation.
- Harmony and contrast.
- Dynamism and temperature of colours.
-The expressive values of color: meaning of colours. Psychology and symbolism of colour.
- How to use color: art and advertising.



6. Activities
Activity 1:
Discover the colours with a triangular structure (Goethe triangle).

Justification of the activity: students love to work manually on special watercolor paper with water techniques and brushes. The mixtures of colours discover the control and the measure.
The colour triangle allows to organize by primary, secondary and tertiary colours. The primary colours are placed at the points of the triangle: yellow, magenta and cyan blue.
A primary colour is mixed with another primary colour to obtain a secondary color and place it in the center.
Example: Yellow + Cyan blue= Green
The mixture of secondary and primary is a more dirty tertiary colour.
Example: Yellow+Green+red= warm brown
They form ranges of similar colour, which participate in each other.



-   Application of geometry: Draw an equilateral triangle of 12 centimeters on each side and divide it internally into 9 equilateral triangles.
-   Application of pictorial technique: painting with tempera.
-   Application of Goethe theory of colour: discover and transmit with colour a state of mind
- Activity 2


7. Tasks
-   Using the Goethe colour triangle, the students can identify and asses the power of colours.
-   This knowledge about emotions and colours will be applied in the analysis of pictures, fashion and advertising.
