Health & Safety Information
This information has been compiled for your Health & Safety and should be read carefully. It is intended to provide you with a reference device to enable you to carry out your projects safely.
Health and safety is not just about avoiding accidents. Neither is it solely about taking care of yourself. Awareness of Health and Safety means acting responsibly and in a professional manner. Essentially, it is about being aware of dangerous situations by possessing respect for your environment.
Everyday we use materials that may cause accidents or hazards, they can range from paper cuts, to an accident in a workshop. The majority of these accidents are caused through an over familiarity when using equipment or materials.
The basic rules are:
• If you are unsure of a procedure or material test which you want to carry out for your project then consult a technician or lecturer.
Risk = A source of danger ;a possibility of incurring loss or misfortune;
Hazard = Dangerous, perilous, uncertain.
“drinking alcohol is a health hazard’.
You Should make a list of potential things that may have the potential to cause harm i.e. electricity, hazardous substances, work at height etc.
Here is a simple test you can carry out to assess a risk or hazard;
1. How severe is any injury or health effect likely to be?
Tick one box
|
Minor o
1
|
Moderate o
2
|
Major/Fatal o
3
|
2. How is exposure to the hazard for you or someone else likely to be bad?
Tick one box
|
Unlikely o
1
|
Likely o
2
|
Very Likely o

3. Calculate the risk score by multiplying the 2 scores in Q1 & Q2
|
Low o
1-2
|
Medium o
3-4
|
High o
6-9
|
Risk category (including supervision) tick box:
HIGH Work must not be started without consultation with your Pathway tutors or Technicians. Direct supervision by one of your pathway lecturers or technician must be arranged.
MEDIUM Work must not be started without the advice and approval of those named above.
LOW Work may proceed because there are no significant risks and no special supervision is required.

Section 1- Review of progress and achievements through part 1&2 of the course
I've Gained collection of aesthetic skills and gaining more Knowledge while studying this particular course which I didn't think I had.This experience has been outstanding and recommend it others to try it as it will change there life in every way possible.I believe that my work has improved and progressed further through different stages of the course for example At the Very start of the course it was interesting having to go through all Art & Design subjects out there and see how different they were from each other and see which one was your strongest point. I enjoyed all those units as they gave me better understanding of how to create great work and content. .I choose the Media Pathway as I am interested in Animation part of it as I found it the most enjoyable compared to the others. I also choose it as I want to be and Animator /Illustrator/comic book artist and work specifically in that industry as my huge aspirations is to become a free lance artist/animating career working with great and big companies work with companies such as Cartoon Network, Disney, Pixar ,Marvel and DC comics also there is one particular Direction/artist(singer) that has inspired me into becoming an animator and that is Tim Burton and Gerard Way. For my FMP I've decided to make an animation about a puppet show and in order to for it to be successful and for me to achieve this goal I've planned to learn and experiment with different techniques, software and draw a lot more on how to make a great animation. My Puppet show animation is related to the very first unit being creatures as I feel that puppets are like creature and can behave they are actually animate even thought people say they just inanimate objects i fell as they can actually move and talk when you least expect it or when you not watching them. Furthermore I felt I have matured and learnt to be more patient through this time of the course I feel as my work has progressed hugely and become organised and successful. Overall one thing I would like to change is to talk to my tutors more frequently and meet deadlines faster.
Section 2: Project Concept
My Final Major project I will be be creating a puppet show animation based upon my love for toys and puppets. I've already started working on a script and storyboard, how every scene is going to look like and how the characters will look like. I've also decide to use music already existing on YouTube. The music I will be using will be Jim Croce Time in a bottle linked with other spooky creepy music.The reason I used this particular artist as I recently watched X-Men Days of our Future Past with the slow motion scene including the X-Men characters Particularly quicksilvers character and fell in love with the song straight away as it felt it best suited my Project.
The Main Influences in the creation of my Puppets show was inspired by my top 6
favourite movies of my all time two them being in the horror genre, And 3 of them being
from fantasy genre and starting with Coraline as the first one Hugo as the second, Toy Story as the third, Saw as the fourth and the fifth one being Chucky(childs play) and the last being The Muppet's
. I used these particular genres as they are my favourite and often always work well with each other. To help me further my project been researching on the internet, look at different books, looking on YouTube to find inspiration inspiring me referencing them along the way. One Two Particular book I've researched and has a huge role in my final major project is Brian Selznick book called Hugo Cabaret and both film and book Coraline by Neil Gaiman. Besides Books Music has also influence my work 5 artists in Particular that have done this are My Chemical Romance-Welcome to the Black Parade, Mcfly-Ballad of Paul K, Panic at the Disco- Ballad of Mona Lisa, Christina Aguliera-Hurt and Jim Croce-Time in a Bottle. Museums have also played a huge role in this Particularly The Museum Of Childhood as my whole story is based around toys and puppets which the Museum is known for showing both old and new. to explore and further my research how I will be doing this I have recently visited I looked at and photographed many different toys which I felt fit into my project . I am going to test out/use different editing software including illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, Flash, Premier Pro and Movie Maker to help me decide what is right for my final major project. Overall I hope to achieve all my goals and make a fantastic animation with all these references/research helping me along the way.
Section 3- Evaluation
In order for me to achieve my goals making sure my work is right, up to date and for me to have a perfect outcome I will Evaluate and reflect on my work by keeping a reflective diary besides me at all times to record my most successful and unsuccessful piece of work and how my ideas have changed/ adapted through the project.Also by making mini test pieces this will help me understand improve and correct my previous mistakes which I thought would work and will help me not do make the same mistakes when creating my
my final outcome. I will also be asking my tutors and peers for some advice and feedback
on how I could improve certain aspects on my work showing them a few clips and test pieces and asking their opinion on it if it was successful and unsuccessful and how I could improve to make it better so.I will use this information to help me achieve my goal and make a successful animation.
