Our task is to create a stop motion video demonstrating the 5 ecological cycles necessary for survival in a biosphere on Mars and how they work to help life survive.

a/ What the heck is STOPMOTION?

Stop motion is a series of photos taken repetitively, one after another. The photos end up being put together and it flows smoothly like a video. Since the photos are individually taken and are similar, in a video it makes it look like it is moving.

b/ Name what app & equipment your team will use?

We used paper and coloured pens to draw out all of our images and write all of our descriptions, and scissors to cut them out. One of our teammates phone. We used a ring stand to place the phone to take the photos. The app we used is called Stop Motion Studio.

i/ Who is on your team?

Me, Maya, Zayd, Katya, and Calum.

ii/ What is each members task?

Each member researched an individual cycle and shared their information to the group. They also had to job to draw and cut out images and information on their cycle. We all set up our own cycles and took photos of them, with the help of our other group members.
