Although I had a fairly clear concept regarding the final animation, the discussion following the crit made it more refined. It allowed me to begin finalising my design direction and decide how I will now progress.
Strengths
Good body of research
Clear direction of brief
Areas for improvement
Decide what imagery will be included
Considerations
Move onto vectoring some elements to see what they look like
WIll there be type?
Any quotes of the films?
Action Plan
- Decide what imagery to use - Although I have various iconic imagery from the top ten films, these need to be more refined as to avoid designing unnecessary content
- Start translating imagery into Illustrator - This is so I can then begin preliminary animations / storyboards
- Source sound and sound effects - The sound has a major impact on the final graphic as it can completely change the tone and pace. The sound needs to be in keeping with the animation and enhance it rather than distracting the viewer.
General notes
- Devise a more defined statement (for tomorrow)
- Define your target audience (for tomorrow)
- When will the idents and the programme be shown?
- How will it translate into print? (DVD / Sleeve)
- Some typefaces don't work well with motion
- Check legibility - get people to review your work
- The sound has a major impact on your graphic
Progress crit next wednesday - Have storyboards, solid ideas and possibly preliminary animations
