Chapter 2: Explorations

Inferences: 1. Animation: The result lacked smooth movements and appeal. 2. Timing: There was no concept of timing, speed, pause etc. 3. Technology: Using the tripod helped achieving more stable shots. However, the tripod itself was not secured to the ground causing displacement No new software was used or tried out. Also there was no idea about the appropriate image resolution and quality. 4. Lighting: There was no thought given to using lighting in filming. 5. Narration: There was no particular narrative or story line. These inferences helped to identify areas of formal learning. The following stage was dedicated to addressing the challenges of this stage, step by step.
