Katie: Balloon update and asset descriptions

I've added 2 more features to my script so that the balloons appear at random times, within a given range, and they are now set a random colour from a list of given values. The next step will be to replace the spheres with balloons and a string; I will use nHair to generate the strings so that they realistically follow the balloon's movement.

Additionally this week I made a list of reasons for each asset and wrote out the girl's personality to help us keep on track throughout the production:
Reasons for each asset:
Girl- Main character identifies with target audience. Children symbolise curiosity and imagination.

fox- playful+fun, a common animal used in children's motifs, tv and games (fantastic mr fox), introduces us to the scene.

giraffe- another common animal used in children's motifs, tv and games. Height creates variety in the scene.

plane - A common aspect used in children's motifs, films and games. Size/movement style creates variety. Used as a cinematic tool for the camera to follow.

robot - A common aspect used in children's motifs, films and games. Size/movement style creates variety. Used to create interest in the background of shots and enhance 'busy' atmosphere

balloons- A common aspect used in children's motifs, films and games (children's parties). Creates interest in the sky, so that the action is not only focused in one area of the shot.

houses- Creates the setting for the bump. Common suburbian street style than many children will identify with. The transition to wacky houses will feel reminiscent of the cartoons that children watch, familiar and likable.

yoyo- A common children's toy (often used only when children are bored). Used to trigger the transition from grey to colour.

smoke- A mysterious substance often seen in fantasy/magical films, tv and games. Used to represent the force changing the street from grey to colour.

The girl's personality:
A happy and charismatic child who can always think up some game to play. She is very curious and imaginative; when she grows up she wants to leave her small town to travel across the whole world, discovering new places and finding lost treasures.
