Filming Project

Towards the end of November, we were given our next brief which is to do with film. Inspired by the Stansa Stones project, young writers have been attending workshops executed by Simon Armitage himself and have started to create their own poems. Within this film project, we will be taking some poems from these young writers and creating a 2 minute piece of either film or animation.

Before he holidays we gathered our ideas and made this mood board together but since then our idea has changed.

After a very wobbly start, my group has finally come together and discussed the new plan in light of the lack of progress made during the Christmas Holidays. After simplifying the initial idea we've decided to create an animation inspired by the opening of the game Okami and ultimately, the idea of using shadows/silhouettes which was one of two contingency plans. 

For those of you who haven't seen the opening, here it is, enjoy :)

We're sticking to our original storyboard and have taken on the idea of using static images with silhouettes over the top. The background images have been split up into sections and will be done by myself, Jess and Finn while the characters and silhouettes will be done by Robyn. The static images are going to be done on digitially on A3 in greyscale but this may change because we're wanting to experiment with colour too.
