Final
Personal Module Evaluation
People and places.
Firstly we were set the task of randomly choosing a location which then our project would be based on, so for this to happen we had to visit our location and obtain a good idea of what this area was like by the people and the artefacts around. In my group we visited the area individually and all obtained images before coming back together and producing our work in front of each other and what we found out, this way would have a better idea of what everyone saw and found out independently rather than going as a group and influencing views on each other. We decided that the final outcome would be for students as our location was based around the universities and colleges and creating a zine that would connect well with students. We then started off by researching example zines, a good artists we found for this was Sarah Silverwood who created a people and places zine and newspaper design. This way by creating a zine we could all be assigned a double page spread and show off our work and skills individually. Another idea we had which we was then going to follow was creating a timeline of our location and looking into the history. Firstly we decided to go to Birmingham library, unfortunately none of this happened due to the lack of communication in the group and team members not attending to group meetings, this then caused for the group to fall apart and everyone going off doing their own work.
I then focused on doing the project alone and as I have previously made an animation I thought about doing that again for this project and experiment more. I was inspired to do this after doing the graphics workshop and using Photoshop animation and also film and animation workshop. I did some research into artists who made animations similar to mine so that I could expand my knowledge on creating this. I looked into Lotte Reiniger as well as Kara Walker who created puppetry and silhouette figures in a style of a creepy fantasy look. As I ran out of time because of all the planning with the group and ideas not being developed, I didn’t have much time to create my animation and was left with 4 days to plan the animation, create the animation and also sort out my blog I also didn’t have the resources that I needed ready, because of this I chose to make my characters and make the stop motion animation on a white background so that these would be easier to cut out digitally and I could then superimpose them onto the backgrounds, which would be made up of my own work that was originally going to be used in the zine and my photographs which I had first taken.
After I had my characters cut out and took my pictures of the movements for my animation, It was a struggle obtaining these images as it was a dull day outside and I needed a steady lighting so that the images didn’t show a huge difference between each one, because this was an issue I had to play around with my camera settings and use the skills that I learnt from the photography workshop. I then transferred these onto Photoshop and made my animation that way. However during this I came through a lot of struggles as an error occurred about the scratch disks and the animation becoming a large file. To avoid this I had to separately place each image onto the backgrounds and save these as JPEG’s which I wanted to avoid but this was the only option left. I then transferred these images into adobe premiere and created my movie that way. I chose to use Adobe Premiere because I have experimented with this before and wanted to learn more and teach myself more on this software. This turned out to be a success and simpler than I thought, however I did come into trouble trying to find the right quality and video style to save my animation in as I wanted this to be clear but not too large of a file.
In this whole processes I came across a lot of downfalls and struggles to make this happen, so considering I am pleased with my outcome. I found this to be successful in the resources I had to use at home and without having any help and support through this. Nevertheless, now that I have my final outcome I do believe that I can improve this a lot more from the knowledge and experience that I gained throughout these past few weeks. I am disappointed in the time management because of all the stumbles we came across in the beginning as a group and the lack of communication that was shared, I feel that if as a team we pulled together I could’ve still made my animation but with a lot more time and with better resources from the university making this a better outcome overall. Yet for the time that I had I am pleased with what I produced bearing in mind that it was all done in a day with cutting out the characters, taking pictures and editing each individual image before putting them together in Adobe Premiere as well as teaching myself how to use Premiere. I also think I could’ve improved the sound by going back to my location and recording sounds from there rather than using the music that I did with the sounds that I had. After this experience I would like to try and work collaboratively again and hope to work more on my time management.
Here i have shown the sounds that i am adding to the video. The reason i wanted to go for a violin sound is because i found this to be very delicate with the style of the movie and it went really well with my first animation i created. I also added additional sound such as the ambulance so that this has a better connection with the video.
Another thing which i have shown is the use of effects in my video to get this to fade out at the end, i also used this in the sound.
Below i have posted the links of the sounds which i used.

Final animation.
I am still looking into different tunes and noises to use that will fit well with my animation. So far everything seems to be going fine.
Quick experiment for how i would like the animation to play
Images taken for the animation. i will edit these images individually and add the background in digitally. i used a white background so that the images would be easier to cut out and then edited on.
Here i have set up to make my animation, I have also shown each of the characters and objects needed for my animation which i cut out using black card.
Here i have shown the original image in the background of my linear drawings done on Photoshop. I have shown 2 different effects faded in, both which i really like. In the first one i like how just the lighter colours show through whereas in the second with the darker shades, it portrays horror and and makes the building look old.
here i have messed around with the original image in the background and tried out the different effects, this effect turned out to be one of my favourites because i like how only certain parts show up and you get the different textures in the building.
The inspiration from these 2 images came from Patrick Caufields work. i tried both techniques with the gradient and the 2 block colours. I found the gradient to work the best because i feel that the lines in my drawing stand out more over the 2 blocked colours. i picked the colours from the original image by using the eyedropper tool on Photoshop.
Final line outcome
As i like my first outcome of linear drawing on Photoshop, i decided to make another one, however this one involves greater detail than the last in the architecture. I found that i did the lines too lightly so to darker them up i simply duplicated the layers so that they came out thicker.
Final outcome wither superimposing parts of the original image, Inspired by Patrick Caufeild
Plan for my animation
Starts off with judge walking past the courts -> walks into the Aston university park and starts to transform into a student -> he panics and walks around -> shrugs it off and gets his phone out -> Not paying attention he walks into a pole and hits his head, falls then bumps his head again -> ambulance approaches and drives him to the children hospital -> helicopter comes down -> camera follow helicopter off to a view of the courts again.

These words show all type of emotion and expression, this can link to visual communication because when emotion is put into work you can create all types of things. We see this in movies, paintings, posters and all around us.
An Artists for example who use expression and emotions in there art is Jackson Pollock. His paintings are made up of all types of splashes, lines, dots from the movements he makes and from the emotion which he gives out when creating these. For example for someone who was angry you would gain harsher and bigger movements whereas someone who was more gentle and calm would create slower smoother marks. When creating these marks they also become irreversible and permanent.
Starting to bring in parts of the original image.
Here i have started to experiment with my drawings by bringing in the vivid colours that Patrick Caufeild does in his images. I chose these colours by using the eyedropper tool in Photoshop from the original image. I have shown the use of both the gradient and the blocked colours to see which worked well.
I have also experimented with the original image in the background. I liked the way in which certain textures were picked up then faded out. i also like the use of the tones and how the vivid colours come through.
