Premise - Final character design - Diabetes monster



For my Diabetes monster I came up with three different character designs. Thumbnail 1 show the character with long legs, thumbnail 2 shows the character with very short legs and thumbnail 3 shows him with medium length legs.

I have been told that the stronger designs are thumbnails 1 and 3. This resulted in me selecting thumbnail 1 as my final design. Now I have officially chosen the design for the character, I will now look into how colour will play a part in showing his mood and character. I will also look at showing the texture on his outfit as sugar crystals which will increase in quantity the higher his blood sugar becomes and lower the lower it becomes. I will then also show his change in blood sugar through the gauge shown on the front of his outfit. 

Alan also suggested that as I have nicknamed my character 'Betes' he could also have a 'Tinkerbell like' companion called Dia who floats about above or beside him, causing mischief.

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.

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
