BA1b - Introduction

This week we were introduced to our project 'Animated Expression' where we have been asked to research into representations of the key emotional states (how are they expressed and symbolised). We need to develop a scenario for a short animation conveying a change in emotion, Eg joy to sadness, frustration to acceptance. I can either choose to focus on facial expression or body language/gesture, the animation can be self-portraiture, character based or symbolic/abstract in context.

This project will run alongside other for the whole of next term, to give us more basics of different animation techniques to create the style of the film,

In summary I will create a short 10-15 second animation which conveys a change of emotion.

For pre- production we need to start to:

• Research examples
• 3 Ideas/ rough storyboards
• Develop board for final ideas
• Try out and experiment with techniques 

I MUST PRODUCE:

• Animated change in mood/ expression of between 10 and 15 seconds and rendered as QuickTime Movie 
• Research Portfolio reflecting on the results of the iterative process used to develop your character and narrative concepts 
• Evaluation of 250 words on the project and achieved outcomes

We can look at paintings, sculptures, illustrations. film and animation etc.
