P1

Student Name:                                     P1

Learners plan for an original short 2 to 3 minute animation, or section of an animated production:

a)          selection of form  For this unit, we will be creating a short for a Netflix Sci-Fi Show. This short will feature 3D elements alongside live action sequences and visual effects. Elements of 3D modelling include the mothership, alien heads, cockpit, fleet of spaceships and earth orbital defence system. The visual effect will include the mothership descending onto the earth. The live action will include an alien student fleeing the classroom after hearing the noise of the alien fleets.

b) selection of animation type  The primary animation type will be 3D CGI (Computer generated images). This will be produced in the softwares Maya and Adobe After Effects.  This type of animation will be applied to the alien spaceship fleet which destroys the Earth Orbital Defense System. There will also be a warp scene where the ships transport to the solar system, similar to films such as Star Wars.

c)            selection of genre/style  The short will be of the sci-fi genre. To fit the criteria of the genre we will be using some of the common tropes. Aliens, for instance, are a predominant feature in the sci-fi genre, which our film includes. It will be featuring the setting of space. The alien spaceship models will appear to be high tech, futuristic and bizarre, which many sci-fi films choose as a style to show how alien or otherworldly the alien race is.

d)         narrative and/or character development  The story begins in a classroom with several students dotted around a pair of students are talking to a teacher. The sounds of the students slowly muffle out as an odd beeping begins to take over the sound.  A student sits asleep in the corner of the class with his head on the desk. He’s wearing a black t-shirt and a pair of jeans as well as a pair of white trainers. The student has short hair and is rather tall. As more noise from the classroom fades out and the mysterious sound takes over the student wakes up and begins to look around the classroom he sees people speaking but can’t hear them. Deep space An alien ship is seen floating in space random planets appear in the background. In the cockpit of the ship an alien sits it begins to push buttons and turn dials each one making its own distinctive sound. The ship is seen floating in space once more but more ships slowly come into vision an entire fleet of spaceships is revealed with a mothership at the centre much larger and menacing than the others. Back in the cockpit the alien pushes one more lever and all the space around the ship begins to zoom past the ship specs of light zoom past the cockpit as the ship goes through warp drive. In earth's solar system the earth and the moon can be seen in space suddenly the entire alien fleet zooms into the solar system and begins to fly towards the earth.  An orbital defence system near the moon extends its panels and begins to move positioning itself towards the fleet. As the orbital defence system charges up the fleet get closer to the planet. The orbital defence system charges and fires a shot at the fleet one fighter ship is hit out of the many other ships the same ship takes no damage and fires back at the orbital defence system incinerating it in the blast. The ship continues its path towards earth. Classroom The student hears nothing but the deafening sound of the alien beeping. The student slowly becomes more distressed by the noise and runs out into the corridor. He then runs down the corridor cupping his hands over his ears to try and stop the sound going through him. He runs outside and onto a field the deafening noise stops.

Group P1 treatment for sci-fi scene

Narrative
The story begins in a classroom with several students dotted around a pair of students are
talking to a teacher. The sounds of the students slowly muffle out as an odd beeping begins
to take over the sound. A student sits asleep in the corner of the class with his head on the
desk. He’s wearing a black t-shirt and a pair of jeans as well as a pair of white trainers. The
student has short hair and is rather tall. As more noise from the classroom fades out and the
mysterious sound takes over the student wakes up and begins to look around the classroom
he sees people speaking but can’t hear them.

Deep space
An alien ship is seen floating in space random planets appear in the background. In the
cockpit of the ship an alien sits it begins to push buttons and turn dials each one making its
own distinctive sound. The ship is seen floating in space once more but more ships slowly
come into vision an entire fleet of spaceships is revealed with a mothership at the centre
much larger and menacing than the others.

Back in the cockpit the alien pushes one more lever and all the space around the ship begins
to zoom past the ship specs of light zoom past the cockpit as the ship goes through warp
drive. In earths solar system the earth and the moon can be seen in space suddenly the
entire alien fleet zooms into the solar system and begins to fly towards the earth.
An orbital defence system near the moon extends its panels and begins to move positioning
itself towards the fleet. As the orbital defence system charges up the fleet get closer to the
planet. The orbital defence system charges and fires a shot at the fleet one fighter ship is hit
out of the many other ships the same ship takes no damage and fires back at the orbital
defence system incinerating it in the blast. The ship continues its path towards earth.

Classroom
The student hears nothing but the deafening sound of the alien beeping. The student slowly
becomes more distressed by the noise and runs out into the corridor. He then runs down
the corridor cupping his hands over his ears to try and stop the sound going through him. He
runs outside and onto a field the deafening noise stops.

As the student looks up he sees the entire alien fleet descending from the sky straight
towards him

Health & Safety

Due to the winter environment; the exterior filming would be plagued with chilly british weather, which could present health and safety risks such as catching colds and mild hypothermia. To combat this, staff and actors will be encouraged to wear thick clothing. The tripod presents a health and safety issue on potentially snowy ground, as the slippery terrain might put the equipment at increased risk of falling over, breaking, and injuring people standing in its way. The potential of snow presents a risk of slipping.
