'What if?' Metropolis - Thumbnails 91 - 108 and reference silhouettes 

Here is a reference for organic shapes that I created in Photoshop. Working in this way has allowed for me to be productive and create new building shapes at a quicker rate with a variety of different outcomes.



Here are my 91 - 108 thumbnails. I believe that working with silhouettes as enabled me to create more organically shaped buildings.

    Great stuff, Tia - so I think you should try using a few more methods now - so maybe think about combining some of your more complex shapes into new forms - so consider thinking about making 'tower' style silhouettes by stacking your shapes one on top of the other in a sort of 'lego brick' way - and also thinking about building more symmetrical versions - so in Photoshop under 'edit' go down to 'transform' and use all the options there to flip, rotate and skew duplicates of your shapes to create some more elaborate/mirrored versions. Then - when you've got another nice set of shapes, start creating thumbnails in which you layer up your 'building' silhouettes into landscape thumbnails as you've done with Jordan in class a while back - using good range of tonal values to create foreground, midground, background layerings of your assets until you start to 'feel' your cityscape appear. When you've got some compositions you're excited about, you can then start to working into those silhouettes in regard to getting the colour back in :) Onwards, Tia - some good stuff is getting started here!

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

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
