Semester Conclusion

Semester Conclusion

 

this semester was semester was, if i may say, suprisingly good, i thought at first it's going to be booring and meaningless especially the writing classes, frankly i didn't adhere to it at the begining i thought that it's just a pert of time, why should we have to add so much explanations after all we are doing art, it should speak fo itself. But after doing the 20 words story and learning about the mind maping. This class i think will not help me only in writing but also in my profisional life,  even as a professionel artist you will always have to write, wether it is a preface for your artwork or a job proposal, writing will be present.

 

Digital storyboarding and illustration, this is a class that i hated, not because of the lecturer or anything of the kind, but because of my lack in matter of drawing. When i choosed to study animation i thought that it's going to be all about softwares and other digital solutions, but it seems that it's not the case. Still i think i learned a lot in this class, like learning how to do thumbnails sketches for my storyboard, which my drawing talent, if i can say so, are enough to realize.

 

Video production, a class that i loved since my first attendance, i just love being behind the camera shooting the scenes and directing the actors. I especially loved doing the short movie, even if it was harder than i have expected, the lack of equipment, the impossibility to controle the shooting environment, and adjusting the lightning...much much harder than it seems.

 

If i had the chance to study this semester again, i think i would get a better result, a more polished one. Now i know what i am lacking, specially the Digital storyboarding and ilusstration and Video production, in the second one for exemple, i would try to get more material for the lightning and try to find better sites for the shooting, and try other angles for the camera.

 

Now at the end of tis semester, i don't think that any of what i have learned was useless. Even if i didn't really like the Digital storyboarding and illustration classes, i know that the reason for that was my lack in matter of drawing, but i tried did my best to improve it and worked hard on my sketches and storyboard.

 

The combination of the three modules was exellent since the subjects studied where related, starting by writing your thoughts on a paper, giving them a form on your sketches and finaly making them alive in front of your camera.
