Week 6: Workshop and Practical

Workshop
I asked Mary for some feedback on my shot list and she said that it was fine and was easy to follow

Strengths
I feel  a lot more on track with my work than I did before. I find it really useful to have the shot list as I can clearly check off each shot as I go along.

What I can improve
I could try to speed up the process as it seems to take me many hours just to improve one shot.

Practical
I showed Paul the background images that I've created so far. He suggested that I could add a few more shadows, for example around the bed in shot 29. Also he suggested that for shot 38, I should slow down  the background layer and use less contrast. I should then make the building in the front layer darker.

I continued to edit one of my establishing shots for the opening scene. I used the same illustrator file that I'd used in the animatic.


To make the scene look a bit more realistic, I wanted to add some trees. 




Firstly, I tried to sketch these on paper, and then I would trace it on Illustrator. However I wasn't very happy with the way they looked.

I searched Google for a tutorial on how to draw trees on Illustrator. Instead of a tutorial, I found a 'script' which I downloaded from this website:
https://design.tutsplus.com/articles/20-free-and-useful-adobe-illustrator-scripts--vector-3849



This script randomly generates different shaped trees, which I think looks really cool. I would like to use this on a few different shots to make the scenery look more realistic.
