19/11/2018 – 23/11/2018 Week 9

Research sources List:
Google: Googled reference images in order to create two moodboards for both me and Hannah to start executing work from.
Development
This week I developed moodboards for us both to base our work off, and to use in the future when it comes to finalising the storyboard, backgrounds and characters. I think both moodboards reflect exactly how we would envision both the different worlds to look like, in the sense of colour and texture. I also started researching more animations and games which can be used as inspiration as well as historical research on human atrocities which we are hoping to incorporate into our animation as quite a strong message.
Strengths
Even though there is only two of us we have quite a clear understanding on how we both would like this animation to look, especially now that it’s taken a darker turn, we want to make sure we are representing the historical references with a high quality animation and storyline.
Areas to Develop
We need to both get our designs for the characters refined and what they stand for so that I can start putting together a storyboard that we can both work from. I don’t see the point in attempting a storyboard with camera angles and backgrounds when one of the key components is how our main character interacts with the creatures so I need to be completely sure on which ones we are using and then I can adapt them into the story.
