BSA203 Southsure and Flicks

Week 6 
I was put into the sub-committees for Promotion and Evaluation. I was made the leader of the Evaluation sub-committee. We discussed what we were going to be doing in class in each of the committees. Sam asked me if I would be able to deal with the entry queries that people might have once we begin to organise entries, which I said I could do. Vy agreed that she would be able to take photos for when it comes to the evaluation at the end. In the promotion sub-committee we agreed that we would wait for the poster and all of the details before we would go around classes to let people know about the event and begin promoting things on Facebook and other media.

Week 7
I set up a bunch of folders on the temp drive each of the sub-committees for them to drop their notes from their own meetings and any other things that are relevant in. I am currently organising a time for the Evaluation committee to meet weekly, I'm just waiting for a time from the visual arts students in the group because I'm not sure when they are free yet. I've agreed to be the one who is given as the contact for Southshore with regards to entries for the event, I also agreed to be the one who would email people who haven't picked up their work after the event to let them know they have to collect it.

Week 8
I'm trying to organise a time for the evaluation committee to meet this week.
When we met, we just vaguely discussed what when need to start to think about as the evaluation committee. We said we would read through the worksheets that were given out to us for how to evaluate projects and think about how that related to Southshore.

Week 9
I caught the flu and spent most of the week feeling like death.

Week 10 
We had a meeting and I wrote up a few things for the evaluation sub-committee.
We discussed things like; How we plan to document and collect evidence, how we will survey people and who we will survey, how we will judge the event is a success (and in relation to this, how will we count the audience attendance so we can collect some quantitative data in extension to the qualitative data that we will collect via a survey on the night) and some other little details.
I made up a planning table thing that was in the handout booklet. We also have to brainstorm questions for the audience survey on the night which I plan to type up a few by next weeks meeting so we can present them to the committee.

Week 11
I'm helping write the sponsorship letters with the others. We have also been having subcommittee meetings for evaluation, promotion and technical also. The evaluation sub-committee is trying to come up with and plan how we are going to evaluate the event. We are coming up with surveys for
various groups.

Week 12-14 
We completed the first survey for the committee members, and have been continuing to have sub-committee meetings every week. I think we are on track mostly, although we need to have a quick look at the 2016 Evaluation folder to double check that we aren't missing something.

BSA126 Gump walks.

Gump Side Walk The side walk for Gump. I tried to make him seem as if he is a bit of a sloucher-almost as if he drags himself along the ground a bit. He's a bit of a lonely sad guy so I didn't want him looking too perky and happy.  Gump three quarter walk I tried to do the same slouchy, sad walk for the 3/4 walk animation, his head is bowed and I hope he doesn't look too happy. Gump front walk I tried to experiment a bit more with the front walk. My initial idea for Gump would be that although he walks upright, he resorts to a four legged walk at times because he is ment to be a bit primitive in his actions and appearance. I wasn't entirely happy with how the walk turned out and it could definitely do with a few tweaks but I'm happy in the sense that his four-legged walking style gives him a bit of personality.  I'm still not fully satisfied with the character design of Gump but I am getting closer to figuring out what I want and what ...

BSA126 Bird, Cat, Dog, Horse.

Exporting in quicktime stopped working again because the videos export with a black background for some reason and this ment that you couldn't see the animations as they are drawn in black.  Bird My bird flight featured a flying seal, I'm not sure why. I enjoyed making the bird fly, although I had to do it twice because the first time I animated him flying backwards-or something weird.  Dog I used a reference to animate the dog walk before adding hair which made him look more homeless and mongrel-like. Then I felt a bit bad for the poor dog, it's probably a good thing that uploading it as an animation didn't work out, it's too sad.  Horse The Horse was fun to do because I like horses. I animated the walk first and then added in a cart because I had some extra time. The man on the cart was done a bit lazily and he sort of shrinks and grows with each frame, but it's not really about him anyway so I don't mind. The horse himself...

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 ...
