Sketches
I have completed earlier sketches and these helped me form ideas for the animation. I haven’t completed as many sketches as usual and this is because my time has been taken up researching. However the research is now changing and forming my new sketches.
Also through research I have realised that my sketches are somewhat childlike so this is something I want to change and develop. I still want the animation to be pleasing and entertaining to children but I also want a firm message to be given to an adult audience.
Our Choice
This is a very interesting animation. It tells the story of water pollution in a basic but very informative way and this is how I would like my animation perceived. I feel that this is interesting because it gives an animated map of the world and I would like to use an animated view of Northern Ireland. I like the relaxing, calming background music and the colours used throughout. Also the character of the Turtle was endearing. At this stage I haven’t decided on the format which I will use but I have been working on the development of my sketches.

Project
My project is going to specifically concentrate on water population in Northern Ireland, more specifically Derry/L/Derry. I would like this to be a visual piece that will aid or stop water pollution.
As part of the research for this I have concentrated on Northern Ireland Waters and the issues located within these. As a result of this I have made arrangements to meet with the Green Party, Derry City Council, Loughs Agency and the Northern Ireland Wild Life Trust to get their aims and objectives around water pollution. I will also endeavour to meet with all political parties within Northern Ireland to gain an overview of their position on this issue.
I propose my project will specifically look at the use of plastic bags and the fact that they are not bio-degradable. This was a major issue in Southern Ireland and so the charge for bags was imposed. Since no such charge exists in Northern Ireland where are these bags going? Ultimately they will end up in the ocean. It is my objective through this project to reduce the amount of plastic bags circulating in this city.
