Cartoon:

Cartoon animation is made by drawings. There are known as frames. There are 25 frames in a second. There are so many example of cartoon animation like the Simpsons, Tom and Jerry and many more.

Model:

Model animation is made by making models. These models can be made by Lego, plaster seen and lots more. Animations that are made by models are Wallace and Gromit, morph and lots more. Just like cartoon animation these can be made into movies as well. Just like Cartoon animation the quality has improved a lot more like you can hardly see that the characters were made out of plaster seen.

Factual programme/film and video: producing a film

The 4 steps to producing a film?
The 4 steps to producing a film is development, preproduction, production and post production.
Development:
This is the section where the producers find out what story they want to make into a film. This can come from a book, comic, video game or even a original idea. The development section is where they make an outline to the film. Creating what will happen in the film if it is a original idea or seeing what happens in the book, comic or video game to create a film. They do this by making screenplays of the film. Screen plays are scripts that are made by screenwriters to tell the actors what to do. They also finance the programme into a sought and greenlit.
Pre-production
In the Pre-production section, they prepare for the film like they pick the camera crew that will be filming the film. They will make sure they get the best crew at a cheap price so it doesn't cost them as much. They also start to build the set and book in the locations that they want to shoot at.
Production
This is where they film the main scenes of the movie.
Post production
This is where they look though the whole film and add in bits of effects, edits, sound and image effects are put into the film. Programmes like prelude and prior pro are used to help edit long films and not just small films.
How to use prelude?
Prelude is a timeline based video editing software thats is apart of the adobe creative cloud. It is used to edit videos such as adding comments, subclips and lots more. It comes in handy when you are working on big projects and makes it a lot easier to us as it lets you choose which cuts you want the work with and your not looking through the own movie to find the part you wanna edit. You can us wruth cuts to help you decide what you need to shoot again or edit more. You then send these wruth cuts to premiere pro to do the editing.

Firstly you press onto prelude and it will upload. Then click on new projects.  Then you have to click injest. It will come up with a box with your documents on it. Then you find there you find your clips and upload them onto prelude. Your clips will come onto the screen. Then you choose which clips you want to edit. You choose the clips by clicking on the square at the bottum right hand corner on the box which has your clip in. You can also use a shortcut by putting your cerser over the clip box and a yellow line will appear at the bottum. You then click I at the part where you wanna start and O for where you want it to end. Then you press ingest and the videos with tranfer onto a screen where you can edit them. You can only edit one clip at a time so you double click on the clip. At the bottum of the screen there with be tabs labled 1 to 5. If you click on each then you can edit it in the style. Then once you have finished editing you press file, then export as a rough cut. Then save it in my documents or somewhere you can find it. Finally it is really to open up in premier pro where you can edit it even more.
