Induction task for 2017
For my poster design, typography is essential as it is a key item and certain words can bring attention from its boldness and style that links with the poster. It has its own individual art style.
In my design, I want the typography to be bold and catchy so that I have caught their attention. If there is not any design that I would like to input on my poster, I would draw the title myself but I do want to find the right typography whilst I am at it. The style should be italic and have a sense of quirkiness.
These are an example of typography that I may want to use for my poster designs.
Whilst we were editing, we show our teachers and presented a small teaser of our film. Our feedback was that it was good but it loses its momentum with some of the scenes and we needed to add an extra scene to boost our grades. This time, I was acting as the cameraman as the previous cameraman was busy on that day and we needed to get that footage as soon as possible. It was not going to take long to film the footage and apply the editing. When I was using the camera, I realise that I had to be careful with the surrounding and I had to ensure that the camera is still and the footage was clear to use.
These were the shots that were needed for the footage …
In my unit, I need to show my understand of what animation is and what I need to do in my project. I have been assigned to make my character participate in an obstacle course by showing a series of movement and the personality trait. When I am animating in Maya, I need to consider where limb needs to move in the keyframe and portray a sense of personality into my character so that it is not boring to look at. My character will only be showing simple movements rather than complex as it would be harder and it will take longer to produce in the animation.
The painting shows a series of bright colours brushstrokes which blend with the white brushstroke and brings a good contrast. When Heron was making this painting, he saw himself moving from representational art to abstraction and saw as a garden of painting. Heron uses oil paint to captivate the boldness of the painting. What made me really like the painting is that the way Heron uses colours to bring life to his drawing and the way he uses the brushstroke is very simple. If I were to change some things about the painting, I would make sure that I would advise the painter to create a complex shape that would bring an appealing appearance to Heron’s work.
Bacon wanted to create the horror of what has happened in World War 1. People did not want to remember what has happened to the war but Bacon did not want people to ignore what has happened. The painting has disturbing imagery which makes people unease viewing the painting and the use of colours set off a negative output. The use of red empathises the pain that the people have to suffer during the war. Bacon uses pastels and oil paint to use as a medium. If I were to change anything on this piece, I would make sure that blend the red with some extra colours to make it even more grotesque.
Blake uses oil painting to portray the man showing interests and achievements. His portrait shows good understanding of respect for historical tradition and modern popular culture. The painting shows a man standing outside in his garden, showing a blank expression and his interest. Even though what he likes may be interesting but the person itself might be boring. In my opinion, I like how the model is designed and how the colours are used, however, I do not like the background as I consider it to be blurry and very scruffy.
Hamilton uses to pop art and the material uses collages to be cultivated the media. In the 1950s, it can become an iconic art for the pop art industry. Hamilton has been trimming newspaper where that he includes celebrities, technologies and etc. In my opinion, it is very appealing to me and the college is put into place is very clever and it is effective.
During their work, they would like to involve themselves as they want to be part of the new world. Gilbert and George wanted to show the art industry that their art is “All for one” where the art is more open and that it shows expression to the art. In my opinion, I believe that it is very lazy and they could do even better by showing more complicated shapes or even something that can come to a fantasy world that represents East London.
Emin uses a monoprint style to portray the loneliness when she is visiting a foreign country. It shows a very blank expression of her in the shower as it is very dull and I believe that it does not interest other people but herself. In my opinion, I do not like this painting as it is very lazy and I could see that there was not enough effort and thought put into this painting.
Perry shows a large of variety of imagery and implemented onto the vase. Perry uses glazed ceramic to present technical complexity and he likes to play the effects of surprise and irritation. The vase values above all tolerance containing autobiographical references and details. In my opinion, the medium and the imagery that Perry bring an appealing effect towards the art and the way that he approaches this artwork will help expand art deco.
In the task, we are getting used to import our characters doing a certain movement. Firstly, I had to create a character in Autodesk Character Generator which has to resemble like me so that I have an illustration of myself and I know how to create myself and I know myself better than anyone.
After I have made my character, I would import my character to Mixamo which allows having a large variety of movements for your character to have. Once I am happy with the movement of the character, I put them in the Maya and see how my character would move in Maya.
Once I have imported the movement in Maya, the movement is already set and I can view the keyframes in the timeline to see what is happening. This will get me to have a good understanding of how I should do the movement in Maya if I were to create my own set of moves.
Whilst watching the video, it has got me thinking that I need to consider the entire body and not just one section of the body. This video has probably enhanced my understanding of observation on what I should do whilst I am animating in Maya.
Today, we were just going through the paper works that we need to do before we could actually film anything. This is a major part of the projects so that we are prepared to film and that we know what we are doing. We may add some additional stuff for the script and the storyboard as we all agree that the story is short and we need to add more scenes to it.
As I am the Killer for the trailer, I need to make sure that I have my props ready and I know that I have the jeans for it. For the boots, I felt confident that we were going to be using these as it is dark and suitable for the costume. Now, I am just waiting for the apron and my costume will be completed.
We have completed the majority of the paperwork and we may do some extra stuff on the paperwork but we will do that in class.
