Animation project evaluation

 We produced a 1 minute long stop motion following the story of a pair of shoes who lost their partner shoe. To begin with we started by writing out our story in a group and identifying who our main character was and what the object of their desires was. in our case it was the matching shoe. We then had to pitch our ideas to the group. After this we had to come up with a storyboard and moodpboard for our animation. Making a moodpboard is a useful way of comping research we did ours as a collage of images found on the internet and pictures of props that we already had and wanted to use. I think on my next project I would like to spend more time on the mood board as it’s a very good way of visually laying out ideas and I was surprised to see the kinds of connections you are able to make when things are laid out in front of you. For example in our mood board we had a picture of a puddle but weren’t sure where we would be able to find a similar setting we could shoot in. After search...

Sound Design Day 1 + Battle of Algiers

Today we started looking at Sound design and what we'll be doing over the next few weeks. We started off by talking about the importance of sound in films and the different layers that soundtracks are comprised of such as the atmospheric layer and foley and spot sounds. We are working towards creating either a soundtrack for an existing film scene, a photo or a sound journey. We are also not to use any non-diagetic sound. We were shown this video about foley sound as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrbgY6ajTgo One of the activities we started off with was to go off and record 'atmospheric' sounds. I decided to record inside the lift and then various points around the O2 and outside of the building although I did find a lot of the sounds I recorded sounded quite similar. I have attached below the sound file I took from the lift. We then went off to record some spot sounds and consider if they could be used to represent different sounds on screen. For example I...
