Research:
Stop motion is a technique that makes objects appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence.
When looking trough different stop-motion videos online for inspiration, me and Jess stumbled upon this... PHARAOH LONDON ADVERT.
We found this video really creative and interesting to watch, I really like how everything in the video has been made from cut-outs eg. Some of the letteres have been taken from magazines to create words when put together.
When speaking about this video we said that it looks good, and isn't really that difficult to make; more time consuming than anything. So then we decided that for our short stop motion video we would create something similar to this.
We went out with the camera to take some images that we could use in our stop-motion, we took the images on burst mode, we used this because this captures images in a successive motion. (This would usually be used in sports photography) This will then capture movement over several different images, so when they are played one after another with some speed, it creates the illusion of movement.

Once we where back from shooting and we had uploaded our photos, we then had to print them and cut them out so that we could photograph them for our stop-motion.

We had now taken all the images we needed to create our Stop Motion Video, now all we had to do was upload them on to the computer and edit them together. To edit them together we had to use Premier Pro. The final touch to this Motion Video was adding a feel good upbeat song into the background, so there's something nice to listen to as well as watch.
This is our overall finished Stop Motion.
Overall I'm really pleased with the way our Stop Motion ened up. Especially for saying I had never done anything like this before. I really like the part where it looks like I'm running across the page, using the burst setting on the camera really helped to make this work, although if i where to change this, I would have me running across the whole of the page instead of just a section of it. To improve it I would also have the images of me where its cropped at the waste on the edge of the page, so there aren't any gaps. I do really like the lettering at the beginning and end of the video, I think this idea worked really well, the letters are clear to read, and interesting to watch. I found this task relatively easy, defiantly enjoyable! But I think if you where trying to create a stop-motion any longer than 15 seconds it would be difficult because of how many different images you would have to take.
