Our first go at animation and investigating the power of a headline.

This is us watching a piece of Glen’s preivious work

We studied the layout that other people have used.

We animated our names.

Here we are started to make some animations with our names on card.

We used I motion apps to animate our names.

This is us  panning the animation.

Glen helped us use the animation app. It was really fun!!!

We are learning to work together as part of a team.

We edited our work. We noticed that our hands were in some of the frames, so we used part of the program to edit our animation. We all found this easy and it really improved our final design.

We made sure we recorded what we did because we are going to be teaching others how to use the app!!

We looked at the layout of newspapers. We considered the best designs and discussed the most interesting features.

We worked as ground to decide on the best type of headline. We talked about what made a good headline.

We looked for word play and alliteration. We wanted to know what made a headline ‘catchy’.

We made up our own headlines based on parts of the story of familiar fairytales.

This really made us think but we all created some ‘interesting’ headlines! We will keep practising ‘this!
