OUIL504- Study Task 5

Today's seminar with Fred was really useful. I feel like I was struggling with storyboarding and how to properly portray movement and mood through moving pictures, probably because I haven't really had any experience with animation whatsoever.

The first task we were set was to create a 6 frame storyboard based around the word 'pop', all without any prior explanation.



Fred then discussed how animation can be used really subtly to portray a word or theme, without huge amounts of motion. KEEP IT SIMPLE.

We were then asked to produce another storyboard around the word float; this time considering our use of frame and movement withing the frame, with Fred explaining the possibilities of using all of the space within and outside the frame.



Our third and final task was another storyboard around 'plummet and splat', this time using all of the information we have talked about.



I think the biggest thing I am going to take away from these tasks is about using space outside of the frame and using subtle movement. I will look to utilise these in my own skit.
