Pre Production

Below I am going to list my ideas I have for each season, I might not use every one but having them in a list will mean I have choices.
For my production I am going to use a tree throughout the film, the tree will change with the seasons, growing leaves, buds, the buds turning into flowers, before the tree starts to wilt, icicles form on the tree, melt and the animation returns to its original state. In addition to this I will have further items to add to the animation, all the things will be related to the season I am trying to portray. Below I am going to list the ideas I have for each season.

Spring
I think I am going to include rabbits, and other animals related to spring, and possibly other plants growing.
Birdsong

Summer
For summer I believe I am going to use a beach sort of scene along with the tree, if this isn’t achievable I will try to include something else summer related, such as the sun.
Seagulls

Seaside

Autumn
Autumn will be full of brown and orange colours, I will possibly use a bonfire or rain effect, and maybe even fireworks, I feel this will probably be the most technical of the season and I may actually give it a slightly longer time on screen because of this.
Rain

Winter
I am going to use pale colours for winter, sticking with a theme of snow and ice, with snowmen, footprints in the snow and other things which people relate to winter.
Snowsteps

I want to use as many sound effects as possible to keep people interested in what is going on, on the screen, I may record some of my own sounds using a Marantz recorder or use sounds I find online, this will be determined by how long the animation takes to design. I may also use music in the film, depending on how effective the sound effects are; the music will not have lyrics and will be very subtle.
Another effect I’m going to add is a very slow zoom on the tree, this gives an effect of animation, this method is used in interviews just to keep the views interest as there is a slight amount of motion.
