Survey

I took a survey through my uni and people who don't specifically know about film that were in the age range that e4 were trying to target, and asked them firstly if they had seen the yellow submarine film, about what images came to mind and what was iconic for them about the film.

What I found was that the majority of people my age had not seen the film entirely, but everyone was aware of the yellow submarine and what it looked like. About half recognised the references that were mentioned to them - The things that were mentioned to them were: the Sea of Holes, the Blue meanies, random characters running in and out of doors, Snapping Turks, monsters eating each other and Glove.

Creating the Look:

The look of the animation is very important, as it will make the subject matter even more recognisable. I have done a few designs of the yellow submarine and it's characters to try and work out what medium to do it in.

Animation Tests:

Motion Tweening - I have been experimenting with motion tweening and how it works, and after taking a tutorial I have used it to create this bouncy ball. By manipulating the angle in which the bouncy ball is turned when it bounces and by squashing and stretching it in certain ways, I have been able to get a realistic bouncy squash and stretch effect. At first it didn't look quite right, but I figured out that you need to keep the ball in a similar place when it hits the ground for the movement to be smooth.
