Week 06♥
Saturday, 28 May 2011 |22:49
Even though so many weeks have passed already, we're still encountering with the same problem for our whole production>
STORY!
The thing is not because we did not generate enough ideas but in fact, we had generated quite a handful number but they just do not seem to flow along with the idea we had in mind; and because of the change in the storyline, I had to often redo the environment layouts. D: But the whole of Monday was basically thinking up of more story plots which can flow better with the initial idea. Every member also continued with their own areas, such that I continue with my sketch of more ideas for the environment!
Mok Ling Ling arranged a Storytelling & Scripting lecture for us on Tuesday, telling us the nine important points to take note of & they are:
1. Logline
2. Character Biographies
3. Premise/Synopsis
4. Scene Beats / Outline à Draft
5. Screenplay Format
6. Writing Dialogue
7. Table Process
8. Final Script
9. Audio Recording
After which, our group also let her inspect our storyline, that was when she pointed to us our key highlights of the story as well as the areas to be improved on. We noted down, taking them into mind, we set off back to our discussion room to generate more improved plots.
We then had a character design lecture by Mr Philip the following day where he showed us various useful drawings of re-owned animated films such as "How to train a Dragon", "Prince of Egypt" and so on. He also mentioned to us the importance of silhouettes as they define the characters' gestures & personality; and that basic shapes are always the one to aid you in sketching out the rough idea of a simple character design. I created some design for the characters which will appear in our story~

Over the weekend, I have also done various new sketches for the environment inclusive of the furniture to be shown inside, as well as the floor-plan of the abandoned house.

Improvement made: More perspective skills are taken into consideration, whereby my drawings are not that flat or 2D-alike. ♥
