During this weeks tutorial I discussed with my tutor what I have done since we last spoke, which included creating the title sequence and the subsequent four scenes that follow that sequence within After Effects. After this we then discussed what my next steps should be in the development of the project, that being to;
- Change the quote on the animation
- Having the quote in all capitals can be quite intimidating and someone who is already struggling with their mental health could find the text quite threatening so I should change it to lowercase and out it in a more friendly typeface
- Have a plan B for if I can’t finish all three animations
- Because I am unsure if I will be able to complete all three animation before the deadline I need to start coming up with a plan B. I need to make sure that I create at least two animations of good quality so I need to start thinking which animation I am going to prioritise after I have completed this first one. When deciding which to chose, I need to pick one that will contrast and is different content wise to the one I am already creating so that I am able to show my skills and how I deal with designing something that is so different.
- Then for the third animation maybe create the stills of the scene within Photoshop with the narration over the top – or show the storyboards with the narrations over the top or just the storyboard – depending on how much time I have. (Just make sure that I am able to demonstrate my visual style and design across all three animation.
- What I will try to achieve for next week
- Complete the first animation (sans the music and narration)
- Maybe try adding the animated character in to the first animation so that I can see how that works & possible some light music for the background so I can see how the whole thing will look.
- Begin creating the assets for the second animation
- Attempt to animate the second animation
