- narration
- story telling
- cameras allow for the scene to pan out
- panning out slowly reveals more and more detail
- scenes can be heavily layered to reflect all that is going on at once, in daily life in this case
- a solid colour is used to change the busy scene on to the progression of the next.
Firstly, the art was needed for the animation. It was recommended to keep this quiet simplistic, and in doing this just use one colour per layer. As this was going t be collaborated in to a group project at a later date, each class of students was given a different are to focus their digital illustration on. The first groups was the UK, secondly the north and lastly just huddersfield town. The sessions theme I was in keeping with was that of the North. As I am from Manchester I chose to use a photograph I had of the city, in a well known area of St.Anne's square. The musicians in the foreground alongside the monument and the christmas market in the background does reflect thoroughly what can be seen in many cities in the North.
While this first representation of this scene looks the most effective, as this was going to be edited in after effects, the background needed reducing in blue pigmentation, to incorporate with he other grey tones. As well as the sky and floor in the scene needed to be bigger, this was to make an allowance for the areas the camera in aftereffects will pan around. To support this the features were also reduce in size, and situated closer to the middle so the camera could explore each of these while the animation was running.
