BSA225/BSA226 3D Story Draft

A city looms out of the darkness. It is dark, silent and appears apocalyptic.
Vox arrives at the end of a dark alleyway, he surveys the alley ahead of him before he limps over to a dead flower. He bends down to examine it sadly.
He reaches out and heals the flower, it goes from being dull and shriveled to brightly coloured and alive.
A new scar opens up on vox's face as the flower grows. Vox staggers as he stands up, it is obvious that he has just used a lot of his power. He looks around himself with determination, before taking a deep, bracing breath. He begins to move along the alleyway touching every shoot, piece of moss and flower in his reach.
Everything that he touches becomes bright and alive as he touches it, vines grow up the walls.
Vox is getting obviously more and more tired as he "heals" everything. His pace slows, becoming a stumbling shuffle and the scars on his face continue to grow while also getting more and more pronounced.
The alleyway behind Vox is colourful, vibrant and alive. There is only one small flower shoot to touch before the entire alleyway is alive, however, just before he can reach it, Vox stumbles and falls.
His breathing comes in ragged gasps and he is too exhausted to get back onto his feet.
The small shoot is not far from him. He stretches his fingers out towards it but they come up short. Vox tries to wriggle closer on his belly. He is in a lot of pain and finds it hard to do so.
Finally, after stretching out his fingers a bit more, Vox manages to touch the shoot.
Sparks come from his finger tips as they connect with the shoot. The shoot appears to shiver as if it felt the connection.
The scar that grew on Vox's face cracks further. Vox watches the flower grow as he finally dies.
The flower that Vox last touched grows larger and larger above his body, it's petals open out revealing the most colourful plant in the whole alleyway.
The alleyway is now filled with life and colour and is almost unrecognizable when compared to how it started.

Vox's face appears peaceful as he lays dead on the ground, the flower's petals reflect their colour off his skin.

BSA106 German Expressionism.

German Expressionism in film came about after WW1, after Germany lost the war. Germany wanted to revitalise the film industry and to create a better impression for the country. The German government subsidised the UFA (Universum-film AG), whose studios were the largest and best equipped in Europe. This became Germans golden age of cinema. German Expressionist film lasted from 1919 to 1933 when Adolf Hitler came into power. Unlike other Western films of that period that focused more so on creating realism, German Expressionism distorts reality to create an emotional effect. Expressionism films employed stylised set design, elaborate costuming, shadowy lighting that emphasises bold contrasts of dark and bright highlights and unnatural make-up. The settings are typically distorted and exaggerated, with key themes being madness, criminality and fracturing of identity. German Expressionism was a huge influence in developing the horror genre. They began to tell the story

BSA126 Animation Character - Tim Lockwood, Cloudy with a Chance of meatballs.

Tim Lockwood Tim Lockwood is Flint's father in 'Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs'. I picked him because I think he is interesting because he doesn't have any eyes that we can see but the animators are able to show us his emotions purely by his eyebrow movements. Structurally, Tim's face is made up of very simple shapes, His eyebrows are a simple rectangle shape that has been given a hair-like texture design to show they are very bushy. His nose is also a rectangular shape with little realistic design apart from the flat rectangular shape. His mustache is similar to his eyebrows, only a slight curve to show gravity and to make his face seem more realistic. It also doubles as a mouth shape in many ways, similar to how his uni-brow doubles as eyes. The head shape itself is basically a conical shape with curving lines which indicates a chin. Tim Lockwood's personality is quite bland and conventional. Therefore, the shirt he wears is a pale, greyish b
