Digital painting - Production design



In our digital painting lesson we were told to choose a piece of paper from one box, which was to do with an everyday object, and another box that was to do with either an animal or plant. From the boxes I selected 'lizard' and 'wardrobe' which meant that I needed to create a wardrobe inspired by a lizard. For this I chose to research into horned lizards, because of their interesting shaped horns, and antique wardrobes, due to their style and the materials used to construct them. I then created an influence map from the images that I found.

Influence map
After creating the influence map, I then looked into the wood material of the wardrobe and the texture on the lizard. From this, I then creating drawings. 



From then I then started to create thumbnail sketches of different wardrobe ideas that were inspired by a lizard.



I then selected thumbnail number 2 and progressed it further by adding colour and texture to the design. I linked this wardrobe to a horned lizard by incorporating horn shapes into the top of the wardrobe and the wardrobe doors. I also added spikes onto the drawer handles and blood to be secreting from the top of the wardrobe doors, the wardrobe door handles and the top of the drawers at the bottom of the wardrobe. I did this as to prevent anybody from opening the wardrobe as horned lizards are known to squirt blood from their eyes into the eyes or mouth of their predators as a prevention of being eaten. This caused for me to believe that this would also prevent somebody from trying to access the wardrobe.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (2004) - Non-linear storytelling

Image
Figure 1. Movie poster (2004) Non-linear methods: Chronicle (Linear storytelling)  - The film starts off  with a non-linear storytelling method. This is as the audience are unaware as to where they are, who the characters are and what they are doing. The scenes also change suddenly and time shifts backwards and forwards. The story then becomes linear once Joel starts to get his memories of Clementine removed. This is as he is in a dream state trying to stop his memories of her from leaving him.  Figure 2. Joel and Clementine meeting Retrograde (Events in reverse order)  - This is shown throughout the movie without the audience realising until they are nearing the end of the film. At the start of the film the audience understand that Joel and Clementine have only just met and that Joel and Clementine's feelings towards each other grow, but towards the end of the film it is made clear that not only did Clementine and Joel know each other previously, they were also

Film review: A Knight's Tale (2001) - A Hero's journey

During today's lecture we looked into depth on Joseph Campbell's monomyth theory on the 17 stages of 'A Hero's Journey' and how the stages are very evident in films such as Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) and The Matrix (1999). The theory has 3 acts which come together to form the 17 different stages in A Hero's Journey.  Below is a diagram to explain Campbell's theory: Figure 1. Joseph Campell - 17 Stage Monomyth - A Hero's Journey (1949) The film that I am using to help prove this theory is A Knight's Tale (2001). Figure 2. Original Movie Poster (2001) Stage 1 - The call to adventure: The Knight that William (Heath Ledger), the knight's servant, works for, dies, meaning that William, along with all of the Knight's over servants, are left without a job. As the servants worry what to do next and panic as they haven't eaten in three days, one of the King's servants come over on a horse and explains that the Knig
