Sec 1A1 : The FINAL look: Suitcase and 3D setting 03

3D setting and Suitcase Pic 1

Pic 2. Notice that the free-standing snake can be moved about.

Pic 3: Now the free-standing snake is in another position.

Close-Up of the suitcase

Your suitcase and 3D setting should show the character that your group has chosen from your novel.

My character is Miss Trunchbull and so the suitcase is rather dull - brown.

I am sending her to Africa for a Safari and so I have some animal pictures on the suitcase.

My 3D setting shows ONE activity that she will be doing (one out of 4). I will be using this setting for my interactive video so I have to have ONE free-standing animal that I will make her wrestle with :) for example. The snake is the free-standing animal. This means it is NOT stuck to anything and you can move it about.

You can choose any activity at all for the video. The video should last max 1 minute. remember to write a short script for it and put it in your suitcase.

On Tuesday you should already have the following:

1. Your fav character and place of holiday

2. The activities and Internet research for the holiday activities

3. A brochure (so you can create your own from this example)

4. Your box!

5. The materials you would need for your activity - Create the suitcase, the 3D setting and the brochure + activities. (Decide who is doing what on Tuesday so you can complete the whole activity in 2 weeks maximum.)

NB: Bring newspaper so you can cover your desks, construction paper, cardboard (any kind), scissors and glue or double-sided tape.

I did not create the things inside as I am sure you can do these things yourself in your group.

PS: 1E4, if you are reading my blog, you can do the same things too. Ask Miss Nisha for permission.

How to create a Suitcase 03

1. Get your box onto some wrapping paper.
2. Make sure your things are on newspaper so you can clean up easily.
3. Make sure your materials are also in boxes/plastic bags so you do not lose them when you are creating your suitacse.

4. My wrapping paper is brown because my character is not very colourful. She is very serious and does not have a sense of humour.


5. My suitcase is now wrapped up. I have cut out some pictures of animals to put on the suitacse
This is important as you need to tell me where your character has gone on holiday.

6. I write the name of my character clearly and paste it on my suitacse. This is so everyone knows who it is that is going on holiday.

7. I write out the name of the country and what she is going to do there. My character is going on safari. I say this as she is very active in the novel and always puts people in danger. Going on safari is rather exciting. I plan for her to have a very exciting adventure in safari too.

8. My final suitcae for Miss Trunchbull.

How to create a 3D setting 03

The 5 ways you can present your 3D Setting

Please click on the thumbnail for a bigger image.

Notice that my 3D setting is already pasted on the carboard. The stationary ones are 1. Zebra 2. Crocodile 3. Grass. I cannot move them as I had stuck them onto my cardboard with double-sided tape.

HOWEVER, I have ONE movable reptile - the snake. This is free-standing. This means I can move the snake into any position I want. This is important as in my video (which I will upload at a later date) Miss Trunchbull is going to have to fight the snake :) So it is important for me to make my snake move - look at Picture 2, 3, 4 and 5. The snake is in different positions.

How to create my 3D setting

01. Fold a piece of cardboard into 2. Draw 3 different lengths of rectangles at the same distance. The 3 different lengths are going to ensure that your cardboard cutout figures would be at 3 different distances. This would create a more interesting picture.

02. Fold out my different cutouts at right-angles.

03. Draw out a few pictures of long green grass and attach them to pieces of cardboard

04. Paste the cutouts on the right-angled cutouts. Paste apicture on the cardboard itself (the one that is standing) so you have apicture in your background.

How to make the 3D setting stand firmly for the video...

01. Get a box that you are not using for your suitcase.

02. Paste a piece of coloured paper on it. I have chosen yellow (to reprsent the sun) as Miss Trunchbull is in Africa and she is on safari. Paste your 3D setting on it.

03. Your 3D setting would look like Figure 3. It can now stand by itself.

04. This is optional. I thought you might like to see my cat sniffing at it. If it interests a cat, it should interest anyone :)

05. NOW its time to decide on your free-standing figure for the interactive video :)
