 STORYBOARD AND NARRATIVE REVISION, CHARACTER DESIGN, PUPPET SKELETON MAKING

This week I started off revising my narrative as it was definitely realistic as a day-in-the-life story but it was boring. It was missing the heart so I decided to make my character go through an unsuccessful job hunt and at the end of the film he gets asked for an interview, creating hope. 

I also did some character designs, I think I might incorporate some hair into his design as well, just tufts on top. Once I understood my characters design I started to make my puppets skeleton. So far for materials I’ve used various types of wire to create frames and joints, epoxy putty that cures to a rock hard plastic for the bones and structure and tin foil for the base of the head. 

I’ve also exchanged skills with my peer Henry, he has been modelling a bus for me in exchange for compositing work later on. 

Going forward I have a meeting with Miriam Harris an expert in stop motion on Thursday and I will continue to create my puppets and props.

SFX, COLOURGRADING, EXPORTING, BREAKDOWN Busy week this week! Started it off with doing my sound, I found a track off of youtube I thought fit the vibe for my background song, for the majority of my SFX I sourced it from freesound.org and I also voiced any sounds that Gerry made and just pitched them to be a bit different. I did all of this sound mixing in premiere pro adjusting the decibles to make it sound balenced.  After I was happy with this I took it into Divinci Resolve to colour grading, the majority of my shots I warmed the tone, increased the saturation and upped the contreast slightly. I think I will have to create a seperate version with different colourgrading for the screening night as I've heard the projector increases the saturation and contrast a million percent and I don't want to blind anyone HAHA . Hopefully I'll get a chance next week to check my film on the projector before the screening. Here's a before and after! Exporting everthing was pretty st...

 EDITING AND RETIMING This week I took all my composited scenes and started splicing them together in Premiere pro and retiming a lot of them trying to fix the pacing. I also swapped around a couple scenes for example I switched my two scenes with Gerry in the bus because I realised that the following scene with the bus infront of the supermarket didn't have any passangers inside the bus so I wanted the passangers to match. I also had to go back and fix some of my graphics because the pacing was a bit off. Next step is SFX!
