Design Production for Digital//Silent Movie//Workshop Notes.


Notes from Tuesday 13th December's workshops (apologies for the delay...) discussing designed timelines and storyboards for our 'Silent Movie' outcomes- the pros and cons of working with our 60cm timelines for a 5 second duration in just 5 key frames, and how considering the length and spacing of our timelines is easier for designing our motion graphics pieces.

Working/brainstorming in  a group with:

Liam Rushfirth
Beth Yates
Alex Slippens
Chris Van Niekerk
Lisa Whitaker
Myself

PRO

- Considering pace: helps to realise time
- Helps you to become very organised- don't have difficult "back tracking" on software programme (Adobe After Effects, for this module)
- Helping to establish colour through visual communication
- Systematic and logical
- Helps to structure design, don't feel daunted when you put designs into software
- Allows you to be creative, not restricted- but open to existing and new software knowledge
- Allows you to consider external software and what is appropriate to use (Illustrator/Photoshop, etc)

CON

- Hard to establish visual communication through only 5 frames
- Difficult to achieve perspective
- 1 second is a longer time than you may think...
- Not enough frames to establish key frames/movement (5)
- Slightly dull process repeating drawing frames- not as fluid as you may like/
create template of designs-vectors?
