Criterion B: Developing Ideas.

Criterion B: Developing Ideas

In this stage you will;

        i.            develop a list of success criteria for the solution (Design Specification)

      ii.            present feasible design ideas, which can be correctly interpreted by others

    iii.            present the chosen design

    iv.            Create a planning drawing/diagram which outlines the main details for making the chosen solution.

i. Developing a list of success criteria for the solution

What are the main features (specs) you want to see in your final product (Animation).

List 6 of them.

Examples:

Animation should have an introduction showing the problem situation.

Animation should have at least 4 characters.

Animation should have background music.

Refer to

http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/features/illustration/12-rules-of-animation/ 

     ii.  present feasible design ideas, which can be correctly interpreted by others 

You will be required to design how you expect your Animation to look like. This will include the introduction explaining the problem. Look at the examples below.

Your task now will be to design two designs of how you foresee your animation to look like. You can draw the designs and scan them or use any online design software that can allow you to design the animation structure/layout.

Some resources that can be used.

       iii.. present the chosen design.

From the two designs (storyboards/templates) above; ( Write in paragraph form)

·         Which design will you chose for your final animation product?

·         Why do you choose that particular design? Justify

·         What improvements can you make to your chosen design? 

iv. Create a planning drawing/diagram which outlines the main details for making the chosen solution.

In this step you will show the steps you will take to complete your task. Use the design specification you mentioned in the first objectives.

Example: Production Plan.

Assessment Criteria

Achievement level	Level descriptor
0	The student does not reach a standard described by any of the descriptors below.
1–2	The student: i. states one basic success criterion for a solution ii. presents one design idea, which can be interpreted by others iii. creates an incomplete planning drawing/diagram.
3–4	The student: i. states a few success criteria for the solution ii. presents more than one design idea, using an appropriate medium(s) or labels key features, which can be interpreted by others iii. states the key features of the chosen design iv. creates a planning drawing/diagram or lists requirements for the creation of the chosen solution.
5–6	The student: i. develops a few success criteria for the solution ii. presents a few feasible design ideas, using an appropriate medium(s) and labels key features, which can be interpreted by others iii. presents the chosen design stating the key features iv. creates a planning drawing/diagram and lists the main details for the creation of the chosen solution.
7–8	The student: i. develops a list of success criteria for the solution ii. presents feasible design ideas, using an appropriate medium(s) and outlines the key features, which can be correctly interpreted by others iii. presents the chosen design describing the key features iv. creates a planning drawing/diagram, which outlines the main details for making the chosen solution.
