A: Form

This animation is a two-minute extract from the song Jenifa Taught Me by De La Soul. We are creating it as a Music Video for the song.

B: Animation Type

During the Music Video, there will be multiple types of animation which will blend together to give a unique style. There will be 3D animation using AutoDesk Maya. 2D animation using Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Animate. There will be some claymation and paper cut-outs stop-motion.

C: Genre

Due to the nature of the Music Video there will be some comedic elements. Most scenes will be depicting real life events that are relatable to the Target Audience.

D: Narrative/Character Development

As we are animating a music video there aren’t characters as such, apart from the music artists. Therefore, the story will follow the events as outlined in the lyrics of the song, with different characters in the scenes, or no characters at all.

E: Risk Assessment

F: Shooting Schedule
