hard at work.


working as a team.


As you can see if we stuck to our set jobs it would take a lot longer to get our process going so we stuck together getting a job done at a time, helping each other. Lydia took the photographs to evident our hard work.

The making of the Autumn number 2

The base of this number 2 is the same as the winter one, but instead we decorated this number 2 with leaves preferably red/orange ones to get the more Autumn feel. We used cotton wool  first to make it more bulky and thick and then we added the leaves on top.




We put it on the radiator to dry as we used a lot of glue to stick the leaves down as they were hard to work with.

The Winter number 2.

To create the winter 2 we used cotton wool and the 3 bases that had been stuck together.


we thought that snow would be best for winter, so we went out and bought some cotton wool as we thought that would look the best as snow.


Me and Dani helped assist Jodie by decorating one of the 2's with cotton wool by adding the first layer.



The first layer is finished and another layer of cotton wool is applied to make it look a lot thicker and a lot fluffier.



All the layers were then complete and it was looking a lot thicker and so fluffy. I decided it was my favourite.  Then all we needed to do was thick of decorating the background.



Coral designed and made the snowflakes for the background where they would be hung up on string against the black background so it looked like the night sky and the 2 stood out more.

The final idea.

Our final idea is to create a number 2 for each season being winter, summer, autumn and spring. Different types of media will be used like leaves, cotton wool, and a variety of objects which make the season obvious to others. We could use be using sound effects and music to also help with this.

We started of collecting the objects we need including leaves and cotton wool for a start while Jodie started cutting out the base for the number 2 which was foam card.


jodie drew round one of the previous number 2 models to get the size we need. Then she carefully cut round the 2 with a scalpel and a ruler making sure her fingers were out of the way of the blade.  Jodie hard to go over the same parts again and again until the blade had gone straight though the foam card. 


The metal 2 behind our 2 is the template we used, to make ours. 





To make it thick we put foam card on top of foam card, 3 on each except the summer one which has 4. 

Initial ideas.

-Water and food colouring: This would be done by using an open topped 3D structure of the number 2 it would have to be open top so water can be poured into it. The camera would be filming from above and different colours of food colouring will be dropped into the water to show the number 2 being created.

-Makeup: A stop frame idea for applying makeup onto the face making the number 2. Bright colours would be used to make the 2 stand out against the skin.

-Leaves: Could be stuck down in a number 2 underneath a whole pile of leaves which are then blown away by a fan revealing the number underneath.

-Fry up: Use sausages, eggs and bacon to make a number 2.

-2 shaped balloons: inflated and let off into the sky.

- Shave the number 2 into someone's hair.

-Bake a cake in the shape of a number 2 and decorate it with candles in the shape of a 2.
