ARCHITECTURE MOVIE

Making a movie for 12AOF or 13AOF assessments? 
The content of your movie will be the images, drawings & video you created when developing your animal pavilion project. Pick your best work to make a movie about your architecture using Adobe After Effects. 
Narrate your movie to describe your project.

Stick to the following order when creating your movie.
All your high quality full screen images should be on screen for 20 seconds each.
All the example images on this page are content from the SnakeTower animal pavilion example project.
www.architecture.school/snaketower---example-project

OPENING CREDITS: 22 seconds long > include your name, student #, date, name of your project, an image of your project. Use Keyframes in After Effects to animate the opening credits information of your movie.

DESIGN BRIEF. Write a 1 sentence description of your project & include it in your opening credits.
FOR EXAMPLE: "SnakeTower
 a multi-use tower for park rangers & tourists near a waterhole in Zakouma National Park, Chad, Africa".

INSPIRATIONAL ARCHITECTURE 
An image of each of the 4x architecture projects that inspired your animal pavilion project. Each image to be onscreen for 20 seconds. Write a 2 sentence description of why these buildings inspired you. You can narrate yourself saying these sentences & put the audio in your movie.


FOR EXAMPLE: These are the 4x buildings that inspired the SnakeTower animal pavilion project.

PROJECT INFORMATION, IMAGES & DRAWINGS
Add images + drawings of your project idea.  


FOR EXAMPLE: For the SnakeTower example project I researched different types of snakes, then did drawings of the snake that inspired SnakeTower animal pavilion project.

SITE LOCATION IMAGES & DRAWINGS
Where in the world is your site? Add images or drawings or videos of your site location. 
​
FOR EXAMPLE: This is a Google Earth screen recording video of the location of the SnakeTower project in Chad, Africa.

This video was created using Screencastify screen recorder.

DESIGN INSPIRATION BOARD IMAGE
Use images from the Internet to visualise the Shape, Geometry, Propostion, Space, Form, Texture, Colour, Material of your project idea.
​
FOR EXAMPLE: This is the design inspiration board image for SnakeTower. It shows a triangle drawing, gold & water textures, whanau colours, steel pipe material & design ideas that influence the design the SnakeTower project example. 
Picture

IDEA GENERATION
Do lots of drawings to explore the shape & design features of your animal pavilion architecture ideas. Use your best design drawings in your movie to show iterative improvement of your project design.  
​
FOR EXAMPLE: This is a design drawing of SnakeTower.
Picture

3D MODEL ANIMATION VIDEO
​3D model your project  using Sketchup or Minecraft or other 3D modelling software. Then use Screencastify to screen record a video of you moving around your animal pavilion model showing off your design. 


Your Sketchup or Minecraft animation video around your architecture must be at least 30 seconds long.
​
FOR EXAMPLE: This is a 4 minute video of how to use Google Maps site images in Sketchup. You can animate camera scenes in Sketchup or fly around your design in Minecraft. 

CONCEPT VISUALS OF YOUR ANIMAL PAVILION
Use Photoshop or Pixlr to create images of your 3D model project in the site location.


FOR EXAMPLE: This image was created using Photoshop to show a proposed design of SnakeTower near a waterhole in Zakouma National Park.

END CREDITS: If you have used text, images, videos or audio from the Internet in your move you need to include copyright attribution & web links in your end credits. 

MOVIE NARRATION: Once you have created your movie you need to narrate a description of your movie.
Use your phone to record your voice talking about the content of the movie. Make sure what your talking about relates to whats on the screen. 


As an option: if you dont want to speak in your movie you can use Artificial Intelligence Voice Cloning technology to say the narration of your video based on what you write in your script. www.naturalreaders.com/online

ASSESSMENT TITLE: your project idea
ASSESSMENT BRIEF: Make a movie to showcase your project idea

Definitions & clarification of what 'Digital Media' & 'Advanced Techniques' are for this assessment.
​The outcome is a combination of digital media that learners use to develop their project for an animal pavilion on a site they pick.
 

The 'digital media' applications learners use are: The Internet, Google Docs, Google Earth, Sketchpad, Navidia Guagan, Sketchup, Minecraft or Tinkercad, Photoshop or Pixlr, Google Drive, Digital cameras to take photos & Adobe After Effects.

- The Internet > research & saving images of architecture > using these images in assessment docs & writing about them. 
- Google Earth > explore sites > taking screenshots of project research > using the scribble tool to annotate screenshots.    
- Doing drawings to develop ideas > taking photos of these drawings > using these photos in assessment docs & writing about them.
- Sketchpad > doing drawings in-browser > saving these images > using these drawings in assessment docs & writing about them.
- Navidia Gaugan > doing AI drawings of landscapes > using these landscape images in assessment docs & writing about them.
- Making a physical model of ideas > taking photos of the model > using these photos to Google Docs & writing about them. 
- Sketchup, Minecraft or Tinkercad 3D modeling software > 3D model an animal pavilion from drawings & physical model ideas.
- Photoshop or Pixlr to edit images > create composite images > produce final outcome images of animal pavilion designs.
- Google Drive > used to organise files used during the project >  'data integrity'.
- The animal pavilion content your going to make your movie with is to be in your school My Documents S:Drive folder. 
- Adobe After Effects > use advanced techniques to create your animal pavilion movie.

'Advanced techniques' is using the digital media applications listed above & also the use of Adobe After Effects to create a movie about your project. After Effects advanced techniques include the use of:
- Content (images/text) transform animations > Position, Scale, Rotation, Opacity > Key frames
- Animation > Animate text > Character offset
- Text > Right click > Time > Time stretch (of 3D model animation movie)
- Effect > Text > Timecode  
- Effect > Generate > Lens flare
