Yr 1 Lydia Goldsmith Animation Journal

I will continue to post updates with this Label- for my daily tasks please see my Trello board above.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I BE DOING THIS? At least once a week... Don't save it all up till the day before hand in or you'll forget what you've done. HOW MUCH? EACH week, try to cover your Animation courses, your Personal Learning and your Brainfood. It doesn't need to be a huge amount of information, but it should be a good balance of text and image. Don't just give us a bunch of images without context or attribution. WHO WILL SEE THIS? At the moment it's just you, your fellow animation students, and your animation staff. Eventually these journals will be brought more into the public domain for your external assessor and potential employers to see. You can of course share the link with whoever you would like, but keep your content courteous and considerate. WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T DO THIS? Your work will suffer, you won't achieve the sort of grades that you hope for, and your lack of willingness to do what we ask of you will be noted by us, your colleagues, and...

HOW TO USE THIS JOURNAL There are THREE main areas that we want you to document here: Your work towards completing your animation courses, i.e. ANIMATION 1A INTRODUCTION in Semester 1 and ANIMATION 1B PRINCIPLES in Semester 2. This is where you provide evidence of all your work and thinking about your animation courses and projects that you will be assessed upon. Your PERSONAL LEARNING, this is where you will document all of the animation related work that you are doing above and beyond your assessed courses. This section is very important to your development as an animator, it is where you define the type of animator that you are, and the sort of films you want to make. It is not assessed directly, but it will have an enormous positive impact upon your ability and your confidence, which will in turn affect your assessed work. It's not optional... BRAINFOOD, this is where you document the experiences and thinking that you encounter that will inform and inspire your film making. The...

Introduction To This Journal Part 1 This is a template for an online journal to be used by ECA Animation students. The purpose in provodong a template is to make clear to students what the base level of information we require each week is. At the moment new journals will be boringly, but usefully similar in layout. Once base levels of information have been established we fully expect to see greater individualism shown in nature, if not quantity of content and presentation. The format of these journals (blogs) uses "labels" to organise posts. Posts can be entered from any page, or directly from the blog editor, it is also possible to mail entries to the blog. Posts will appear on the frot page in the order in which they are published, using the section tabs across the top of the area where posts appear, or the labels widget at screen right will take you to a filtered view showing only the posts with the label selected. This becomes a more powerful tool for organisation when yo...
