OUIL504 Illustration 1: Process & Production

STUDIO BRIEF 2 PROJECT PROPOSAL: Moving Pictures

I intend to produce ……

a) A thirty to sixty-second sting to advertise a forthcoming documentary programme about your chosen author’s life and works. ‘the imagination of Lewis Carroll’ using physical objects with relevance to lewis carroll and using dragon frame/stop motion to capture the objects changing into something else to show he’s imagination and nonsense nature. I will show the change in object through illustrating onto paper around the object. To make sure the image sequence are understood and theme appreciated, the objects will change one by one. On dragon frame I will add shapes digitally which will be moving in the background constantly to connote Lewis’s link to math’s and geometry. Duration: Animation process: stop frame (dragon frame) so the object can move on and off the screen and I can capture each motion in steps. Action Plan: Collect empyema with relevance to Lewis Carroll (Tuesday) Play around with drawing around the object from imagination without taking pictures (Tuesday night) Book session in dragon frame to play around with this animation technique on one or more objects Take images into after effects – use key frames to position, move, change scale of geometric shapes.

The content will focus on (identify 3 specific themes, texts or concepts)

1.imagination- concentrating on how your/Lewis Carroll’s imagination (might of) worked I.e seeing a basic object/shape/thing and your imagination turning it into something else.  Nonsense 2.using objects which have relevance to Lewis Carroll/his literature/he’s life pocket watches chess piece-( he’s love of logic) Turing into a into crown (queen victoria) child –turning into animal book turning into visual illustrations and coming alive key (to link to Alice and wonderland theme and his struggle with identity) turning into fly –(keys to doors in he’s life always flying away from him i.e. childhood)

I will be aiming to communicate (identify 3 specific messages, ideas, moods etc.)

1.fun, intriguing interesting imaginative 2.from experimenting and playing around with stop frame process and adding the drawings around it to turn it into something different, I will know weather the objects I have chosen can be created into something else of relevance to Lewis Carroll- this way I can communicate different aspects of him. 3.i can play around with adding textures and burst of appropriate colour on after effects to communicate mood.

To an audience of ….. (name 3 characteristics)

1.children- as simple to understand, visually interesting and will hopefully retain interest 2.young adults – people who like to be intrigued and see things in a different way -   3. fans of he’s nonsense literature style.
