Before we could create our film we had to make our credits. For the credits we cut out all the letters in white so they would be seen on our black background, we had this black background for when we didn't want the jungle background. We then spent the rest of the time glueing together our characters and set up the stomach for where the woman would be eaten. We cut out around the trees with a stanley knife this was to give it a clean cut so we didn't have any white edges. We did this so our tiger could go through the trees to show more depth and movement in our piece. We had our tiger exit out behind the trees so it would lead onto the next scene neatly. We set up the camera on a rostrum which gave us a high angle and we also didn't have to adjust the camera every time for a new frame. On the bottom of the rostrum is a raised plate from where we could set up each frame, then looking down the camera we could see what would be shown. We linked the laptop up with the camera so we could shoot our frames we used the softwear Istopmotion to capture the frames and then using final cut to edit it all together and finally adding our audio. When in final cut Scott had already recorded his voice over, he imported the clips and the audio and started to edit it together. He extended some of the credits so they were easier to read and our names were on screen longer,he also had to slow and pause the audio at times so it kept to speed with the animation. 
Here is our final piece on the Limerick....
Looking back at our video I think it worked well all the animation fits with the Limerick. However if we had more time I would have tried to have some frames of the rection of being eaten by the tiger and more detial in the stomach scene, for example making a background for the scene. Another thing we could of improved was making sure all the things in the frame are in the right place before taking the shot. Throughout the piece there are a few mistakes on the animation, at one point a hand comes into the screen and also when the tiger is going through the jungle he clips through the tree one moment he is behind them then infront. Apart from these I think we have learnt more about being careful when taking each frame and to think more about what the audince will see and understand. Next time we would just need to work more on the editing and make sure the audio sound is clearer. Overall I think the main design and crafting of the anaimation has made the piece stand out and become a well animated limerick.
