We had started our first week back. With our modules for our final year recapped by our lecturers and what we will be learning this year especially for the major project.

They explained that we will be put into groups and we working on our main project which would be worked on over the two semesters this year with one idea in mind. We had seen examples from the previous years work’s, must say they were astonishing and gave us some ideas for our projects. They informed us that we would be having a pitch presentation on Tuesday 10th October which would showcase our work towards our major project such character designs, storyboards, references-inspirations, art style of animation, environment, concept art, colour scheme, software we would be using for the project and the theme. 

By the end of the intro we quickly formed groups which should only be between 2 to 5 people in the group. I formed a group with Dylan Short and Sarah Elliott.  We came around an idea which follows the theme ‘horror’ which follows a little boy in a cabin in the middle of the woods waiting for his parent to be back with the fire wood however, he’s the only one in the woods when a mysterious figure is lurking around the house in the shadows, for this boy finds out this isn’t a person but a monster from his deepest nightmares that any child is afraid of becoming real. 

By our first week we took things slow but were able to come up with ideas for the plot, the setting and location and what kind of creature the character is dealing with. For this week we decided to think only on the plot before our second week.
