After having spoken with my tutor in this weeks workshop, my goal for the rest of this week is to test out the three animation softwares, Character Animator, After Effects and Adobe Animate so that I can decided which will be the most beneficial to use for my project. These tests will take the form of short animations that will allow me enough time to experiment and learn the basics of each software, and should hopefully not take too much time away from other areas of research and development within this project.
I was also begin to form the narrative that my animations will take, and how I plan on talking about mental health to key stage 2 children. This will involve thinking about animation style, sound design and if I want the animations to be more narrative based or more like a self-help animation. I will also attempt by next week to have a rough storyboard which details the narrative of my animations. By achieving this, I will be able to focus on finalising my animation narrative and storyboard next week and then I will be able to begin developing the animations.
