Why this why now
Having previously created static digital images pupils now progress to producing dynamic, narrative-based media. This unit introduces stop-frame animation as a way to combine creativity with technical skills. Pupils will manage more complex sequences of tasks which improve their planning, precision, and attention to detail. They begin to see how different digital elements work together to tell a story. This enables them to appreciate how to use and combine a variety of software as part of increasing complex multimedia projects.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils can use digital devices to find and store digital artefacts.
- Pupils have created digital images using software tools.
- Pupils understand that digital devices can be combined to achieve goals that a single device might not be able to do.

Stop-frame animation
In this unit pupils will explore a range of techniques to create a stop-frame animation. They will have the opportunity to apply their skills by creating a story-based animation. Pupils will extend their animations by adding other types of media to their animation, such as music and text.
