Date: 11/02/2019 Hours: 8:30am-12pm, 1pm-2:30pm, 3pm-4pm, 6pm -8pm (8 hours) What I did: Today I focused less on sketches and more on re-creating a character for the animation. Why I had to re-create a character was because the animation didn't feel very inclusion so a recommendation was to get rid of Todd and turn the child into a girl. I m happy to be working on a female character and why is because I have never really drawn or designed a female character before and it has been something that I've wanted to do for some time. I started off by making some designs for possible hairstyles then based on feedback I would use the one people liked the most. The bottom left style was chosen, in these designs I also wanted to add some hair dye. Why was because it is an aspect that hasn't been touched on in my designs before. I then went onto creating turnaround for the character, so they could be modelled afterwards. I made sure to use what I have learnt in masterclass with...

Date: 10/02/2019 Hours: 8am-10:30am, 10:31am- 2:01pm (6 hours) What I did: Today I focused on watching two more films and then doing more possible sketches for the storyboard. I started off watching "The Revenant", first thing I noticed was how the camera focuses on the character's faces to the point they are talking about at least half of the screen. Why I felt this was worthy of being pointed is due to the fact I haven't had the camera get that close to Charlie's face, so I will try this out. I will also be a good opportunity to show his facial expression too. In certain scenes the film the music rises to the point the voices of the character are almost completely drowned out or there is no music and the only sound of the forest and the character's breathe. I will consult my team with my different ideas to how music and sound could be approached in the animation. Why is because it could perhaps give them ideas of their own and then there's more room ...

Date: 9/02/2019 Hours: 8:26am-11:09am, 11:10am-14:27pm (6 hours) What I did: Today I focused on watching two films and then creating some sketches based on what I learned and was inspired by. I started off by watching "Terminator 2: Judgement Day". I picked up on the fact that two character's faces get quite close to each other, why I picked up on this was because I've mainly focused on Charlie and death either being in different shots or in the same, but at a distance. Making it so that death is in Charlie's face could make the shot feel more claustrophobic and then I can experiment with Charlie's facial expression during that scene, would he be scared, intimidated or interested? I also noticed that in some parts of the film Sarah Connor starts to narrate over the film talking about John Connor, this isn't related to the storyboard. However, why I felt that it was worth pointing out was because death could perhaps narrate over the animation, perhaps a...

Date: 7/02/2019 Hours: 8:30am-10:30am, 11am-2:30pm, 3pm-4pm (6 hours 30 minutes) What I did: Today I focused on doing more research for my journal and thumbnails for the storyboard. Why I focused on doing more research was so that I could add more quotes to my journal, this would be so that I can external quotes to explain why something is important or describe something I'm using or going to use. This is so I can either back up what I have said and also make sure that it doesn't look like I'm making anything up whilst I go along with the journal. We are reaching the of visualising how the animation will act out, me and my teammate focused on adding some thumbnails between other thumbnails. The reason why was to help explain more was is happening, thumbnails that I drew were shots of Charlie's dishes. Why dishes was to show that time has passed, so these dishes would be stacked, dirty and not been cleaned for some time, also a shot of a cereal bowl with milk still...

Date: 6/02/2019 Hours: 8:30am-12pm, 1pm-2:30pm, 3pm-4pm, 6:15pm-8:15pm (8 hours) What I did: Today I focused on finalising the thumbnails for the storyboard. Before starting any drawings I looked into some more people that suffered through adversity and still made an impact. I looked at Ludwig van Beethoven, the reason why is because he fits the theme of the animation very well since in his life his hearing started to fade. However, that did not stop him from composing and playing in public. I also looked into Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks who were both activists in the civil rights movement. Rosa Parks was famous for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on the bus, which was pivotal in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Martin Luther King Jr. led the boycott, he was also very famous for combating racial inequality through nonviolent resistance. The reason why I wanted to look at these two is because of the work they have done in the past despite the time and still m...
