Initial thoughts of Audio track

My audio is called "Excited" I can describe it in three ways: Pleasant sounding, Getting ready in the morning and Lively.

 Initially I couldn't get the word Excited out of my head and thought of Celebratory music. After listening to it a few times I really thought it reminded me of first thing in the morning, just after your alarm goes off and you get out of bed to get ready for the rest of the day.

Animation research

Hand drawn animation is the place to start, very simple but time consuming which i found out through the workshops.


Below is a very cleverly made animation, I would like to achieve something like this for my final piece, although I think I may me getting ahead of myself.


The animation below contains a similar story which I would like to have in my animation.
Beginning: Waking up to an alarm clock
Middle: getting ready
End: end of the day?

Brief:
We will be allocated a piece of music which we must familiarize ourselves with and then choose three descriptive words which are inspired by the soundtrack. The choice must be intuitive and based on our emotional response to the music. The research process will then take a visual form once the words have been chosen, and will be about making and doing. The final animation should be between 20 and 30 seconds long so we will have to edit the audio accordingly and select a shortened section that is the most inspiring and appropriate for your narrative.
