 * Stop Motion Narrative**

A Narrative story has a beginning which sets the scene and introduces the characters, a middle where there is a problem or conflict for the characters, and an ending which has a solution or outcome to the problem introduced in the middle of the story.
 * What is a Narrative?**

Stop motion animation is made by running a series of still pictures together where each has a small movement or change from the last. To do this you must set up a scene with characters and make each movement frame by frame and keep these in order. See the example below.

You will be assigned a fairytale to make a stop motion video of. You will need to write a script and set up your scenes. Use a tripod or something to position your camera. Do not move your camera or the props in big movements or you animations will not work. You need to put your things away so you can re-position them exactly the same the next time you work on this project. Careful planning will prevent many problems and difficulties in this process.
