Summary:
- Class Task 1 – TEAM RECAP about the process of selecting our world (presented in front of class)
- Presenting in front of the class was intimidating but also very fun. I was made group speaker and I think I handled it competently and confidently.
Below are the questions and our answers:
POWERPOINT NOTES:
- We watched a Presentation on Composition and Perspective
- The Rule of Thirds + The Golden Ratio: Composition guidelines and GEOMETRY are used to:
- Direct the viewer’s eye
- Emphasis important aspects of the scene
- And overall create STRONG COMPOSITION
- Cinematography – Camera Shots & Angles:
- Power relations (UP/DOWN SHOTS)
- Character relationships “what’s the intensity or emotions here” (CLOSE-UP/WIDE-ANGLE SHOTS)
- Layout – Perspective:
- Linear (1,2,3-Point) Perspective
- Warped/Forced Perspective (Used rarely)
- Aerial Perspective (Used for drawing atmospheres and landscapes)
- The Rule of Thirds + The Golden Ratio: Composition guidelines and GEOMETRY are used to:
EXERCISES:
- EXERCISE 1: Rule of Thirds + Golden Ratio (Draw your world with these principles in mind)
- EXERCISE 2: Symmetry (Same as Exercise 1)
- EXERCISE 3: Geometry (Pick 3 Animation Frames from your favourite media and analyse their geometry)
- EXERCISE 4: Perspective (Drawing in 1 & 2-Point Perspective)
Overall, a really fun and interesting day! 🙂
