3 Rules and Statement of intent

3 Rules from this point on about my "What's a line brief"....

. No more stop motion for a few days! Focus on drawings and new Media
. Story bored and plan everything you do. So far there is not much logic to work apart from blog work. Now illustrate whilst progressing the themes
. Think about context more. Specify exactly what you want to get out of the brief as well as identifying what the problems is. This has to relate back to the body of research.


Statement of intent from this point on:

With just under a month now I need to finish developing the logic of my pieces. This I found is best done by story boards and basic sketching. I need to do this anyway as my drawing skills need to be vastly improved. I have found quick ways of going about this planning and logging of illustrative ideas, and this will help me to use basic methods for planning so I can now focus still on the video making side of it. My problem to this point is that I have too many short films now that are actually just made as part of my research process. Now I want to take time for this last one as a method of resolving all these problems I had with the first few films. Its all been trial and error to this point and there's a few different kinds of ways I have already gone about it, now with this break of making the films, I can take some time to actually analyze which ones worked and went well.
An idea I had was to do a survey interactively regarding the short animations I had made. Ask my fellow colleges which animations works the best and why!

Ideas I had for these final resolutions was to literally do sequences illustrating what happens when you "Cross a line" or in other words anger it. These are quite fun to do and fairly understandable when the element of a toy is brought in too.
