Reflective Statement

Reflective Statement

 I think that over the time given to me i did a reasonable job in executing the brief that was given to me. I managed to fulfil all the necessary criteria of the brief naturally while fulfilling the main aspect of the brief being the 3 digital paintings. I think my execution of the painting could have been better if i used more techniques i now know how to do throughout the whole process and not from the point i learnt them forward. I think my time thumb-nailing and researching the texts given gave me a better understanding of the initial creative process, however stubbornness and my own creative mind led me to creating the first images my brain came up with when given the brief.

To improve this project i would spend more time thumb-nailing all the cities in a looser and more creative way before picking the city i wanted to do. focusing more on elements of the city and less on the composition of the paintings. I think this would make the aspects of the cities more interesting and give me a better footing for when i start the digital painting process.

To improve I would work on the digital paintings in a more Matt painting style saving time and energy. However I think I would need to push myself to spend more time painting over the photo's I used as well as spending more time looking to keep the photo's in perspective and aligned accurately.

The Martian: 3 Act Structure

  Film Review: The Martian Finding how the Martian sits into the broader idea of a 3 Act structure was fairly easy, as its laid out narratively in 3 very clear acts. However deciding what part of the movies where what in terms of inciting incident, mid point and Climax where harder Distinctions. Exposition The First scenes of the movie are full of exposition showing the cast on mars taking samples and carrying out other various scientific experiments. The Title along with the design of the set shows this to be astronauts on mars and sets up the location for most of the movie going forward. Inciting Incident This would be where the rest of the astronauts leave our main character Mark Watney on mars after presuming him dead in a storm. He instead doesn't die and manages to make it to the relative safety of the space habitat where he stops himself from bleeding to death. Before the audience is told about marks plans on how to stay alive fighting the main problem he faces in the whole ...

Reflective statement 'What if Metropolis'

Reflective statement 'What if Metropolis' I found this project enjoyable however i feel that the changes to the start of this project, and the lack of artist research and visual development, made the start of the project slow and less enjoyable. I do like having choice of our concept art, because of this we have choices on if we wanted to make things easier or harder for ourselves depending on if we wanted to challenge ourselves. I felt the start of this project was slow however that may have been due to me having a clear image of the scene in my head and not needing to plan and figure out the scene i=on paper. To make my render better i would like to have used better materials in Maya,maybe using substance painter to create photo-realistic textures. In any case creating a better consistency between materials would be better, especially considering that the stage on my scene appears to be in a different style to the other materials in the scene. In the future i will need to...
