Frame numbers
You will need to label your images as frames
The first 24 frames will be written as;
0_1
0_2 etc etc

The following 24 will be

1_1
1_2
1_3
Ensure your clips are labeled as such. Screen shot the folder your clips are in, and
copy the image underneath.

Dope sheets
A dope sheet is an animation tool which helps an animator organise the animation
shot-by-shot.
This gives the camera operator instructions on each shot type and how many frames
this will be used for.
A dope sheet is usually split into 5 different sections.

To indicate what action occurs on which frame number

To see what action is happening in this shot.
To see what dialogue used in this scene.
To show what level of animation is happening.
To give camera instructions (angle).

For example;

Because you will be working with video, you will be using 30fps. You will need to
complete a dope sheet for EVERY SECOND of your animation.

i.e, if you make a 30 second animation, you will need to complete 30 dope sheets.
This will be a time-consuming task, but it will help you understand what will need to
happen in each of the shots you take. The higher marks will come from a detailed
and careful collection of dope sheets. For example, if your characters speaks, you
will need to show the mouth forming every shape in order to look effective.
