Animation

We met the artist Liam Nunn and he taught us about how to do digital animation in Adobe After Effects. Before to create our small video we had to practiced moving a square. We took a look at how keyframes are placedand we exprienced. We had the opportunity to create a short animation of 5-10 seconds, thanks to the little character Liam Nunn had already created. In the whole 5-10 seconds animation we could make the character do funny face expressions, put stickers that disappeared after a few seconds, change the colours and make every part of her face move.

Storyboard

We were ask to develop our group project into a storyboard so that it will provides us a clear plan ahead of what we wish to make onour 30 sec film. We had to included details of individual scenes in our storyboard like shot sizes, the mise-en-scene, the  location, props, people, lighting, sound etc.

Storyboard

The term storyboard is used to visually explain and stage a story. This term is used in the world of advertising, cinema and animation. It allows you to cut a temporal sequence or sequence plane by synthesizing the main keyframes and planes that compose it.

Our storyboard

Here is our storyboard, with my group have drawn how our 30 sec video will develop. Then what our project is about feminization decided to cut our video into three parts. Three parts for three different decades on the history of feminism. In group had decided that it could be rather interesting if we link the three decades with doors. Basically every time the model opens a door it opens the door to a better future it was a metaphor. But because of some technical problems we did not involve the doors. We still managed to find another idea to get the messages across in a better and simpler way and it’s what we did in the video.
