Camera
I researched some camera techniques. I like the 'dolly zoom' or vertigo effect. I think this could be a really cool effect to use in my animation is it creates an uneasy, dramatic effect.
- This effect is created by zooming in whilst moving the camera backwards on a dolly
- Although mostly used in live action, it was also used in other animated films such as Ratatouille
- I tried recreating this effect on my phone's camera
- Not too sure how effective this would look within animation
Sound
I researched which movies had the best scores. I shortlisted the following films:
- Moonlight
- La La Land
- The Shining
I think I like classical music for my piece
Feedback
Showed my mum what I have done so far with my project
Her advice:
- Change the colour of the padlocks on the bridge as they blend together too much
- Add some more life to the second scene - mayb a boat going past on the bridge
- Spider diagram for title ideas
- Better sound quality - perhaps shattering glass in the disaster scene
Viewing log
As I was starting to feel quite uninspired by my project, I decided to watch something to reignite my imagination. I chose to watch the tv series Black Mirror is it deals with conspiracy. The pilot episode just so happened to be very relevant to my idea. The idea is centred on the Prime Minister's daughter being kidnapped and having the news go to the press. *Spoiler alert* the deeper message of the episode is that the public get so caught up in what's in the media that they lose sight of what's happening in reality. This is really interesting to me, as I want to convey a similar message within my own project.
Key ideas:
- Social media vs Mainstream news
- Checking news on TV, laptop etc
- Breaking news
- Rising pace
- Scrolling through Twitter
