Premise - Set layout

I have decided to create the set for my animation using just one elongated 'room'. This is, as shown in the animatic, the diabetes monster walks to and is placed down into different parts of the set. In doing this it will be easier to navigate the camera around to the different mini sets within the 'room' and it will also be easier to place the character into the different mini sets. I have also decided on creating a surface shader in Maya for the scene that is completely white. In doing this I will be able to make it seem as though the monster is in an infinite space without the need to actually make it infinite. 

 The image below shows the scene with a grey lambert, I did this to show how the scene looks before the surface shader was applied.

The image below shows the scene as it would look in the animation with the surface shader applied.

The image below show how the scene will be split into sections. Some of the plain sections, such as section one, will be used multiple times throughout the animation as there are no props that need to be fixed into them. 

Once I have completed creating all of the props, they will be placed into their sections and used in a pre-viz of the animation.

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
