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 ...

Lion King : Archetypes

Film Review: Lion King Hero: Simba is the hero of our story and fits the archetype of a hero so well when thinking about the hero's journey. Shadow: Scar is the shadow in the lion king sowing ill will and deception in the start of the movie to set up the events of the film. Herald: Rafiki calls Simba to action and shows him a way to get in contact with his father. He helps the hero find there way and shows Simba the path when he's lost. The Threshold Guardian: I think the threshold guardians are the hyenas in the lion king. i think this is because they are present and the threat when Simba and Nala go into the darklands, crossing the threshold into defiance against Mufasa. Trickster: Timon as he plan's to use Simba for safety as he is a lion and can scare off other predators. Mentor/father: Mufasa if Simba's father and mentor, a father figure who is teaching him to be king even after his death at the start of the movie. Allies: Timon, Pumba and Nala are the main all...
