In class today, we all viewed each other's projects in their current state and were given feedback.
My strengths:
- Visual style - including colour scheme, background and character design
Things to consider:
- Think more about sound
- Cut down on narrative as there may be too much to animate, and the story could be too complex
- Make the backgrounds move consistently, some move more than others
Practical
In this session I sought help from Paul on how to improve my storyline. I showed him what I'd written for the brochure, and he gave me some suggestions on how to amend this. I'd re-written my story so that rather than using terrorists as the antagonist, I would metaphorically represent them with aliens. When I pitched this idea to Paul he was very unsure of it (as was I to be fair). Instead he suggested that I focus more on the wider agenda, which would be to frame my narrative around media.
I thought back to an artist we'd looked at during second year who would be relevant to my work this year.
Mark Fiore
- American political cartoonist
- Uses humour and satire
- Summarises current events
Paul suggested I look at some other artists work:
Peter Howson
- Howson is a Scottish painter
- Worked as the official British war artist during the Bosnian Civil War in 1993
- The image above denotes a mixture between real life influences of war, and fantasy elements such as the mummy/zombie
- I think this is relevant to my own work as I'd like to combine fantasy elements, in a metaphorical sense
Fransisco Goya - The Black Paintings
- Paintings from around 1819 to 1823
- Quite dark and scary
