Pre-Production.
Planning.
Storyboards and Characters.
These storyboards show what shots will be used and the characters dialogue. In post-production however I had to edit some parts of it out due to time constraints. This also happened with the models. There were originally going to be four characters, the Alien, the Blue character, the Red Character and a Yellow character, the reason why I had to cut the Yellow character was because there was not enough space on the set. The Yellow character would react to the Red characters death with an over exaggerating tone.
The Red character would just be the person that drives the plot forward via his death. He has little to no interesting qualities as stated by the Blue character in the first scenes of the animation.
The Blue character is the main character that drives the animation. She is inspired by the people who run the YouTube channel 'Cinema Sins' who constantly point out errors and clichés in movies. I decided to give her a rather pessimistic attitude so that her pointing out flaws would seem like it would be something that she would do in everyday life.
The Alien is the antagonist who kills both characters at the end. I wanted him to be rather aggressive towards the two characters at the beginning and gives up his plan rather than just go through with it at the end thanks to the Blue character.

Production schedule.
This is my production schedule that I have used for my animation. For most of the days that I have been in I have worked on Pre-production. The storyboard took a while to create and focus on mainly because I did not know what to do for the ending. However once I had finished the storyboard it was easy for us to finish production.

Equipment, materials and personnel.
Here is a list of everything I need for my animation along with the amount of items and the rate per day. The total cost of the equipment and materials comes to just over £470. The personnel can be hired from www.Freelancer.com. The cost and skills of said personnel can very from person to person, thankfully the site supports client reviews so it can help narrow down my choice. What I need for my animation is an animator for the creation of the models set and creating the animation, a camera opperator to work on the shot positions and take pictures, an editor to edit the shots in Premiere Pro and to make sure that the animation runs smoothly and a sound editor to create the sound effects and music. Below are both the cost sheet for the equipment and the estimated cost for the personnel.

With this information and the information from the production schedule the total costs for the pre-production, production and post-production stages of the animation is to be estimated at over £685. I think that this money can be appropriately paid for via grant money. One such option to get said grant money would be from The Arts Council England, which give grants of upto £50,000.
