Animated Narrative week 9- Yiran Pan s3829794

Concepts and discuss

This week, I finished the draft of character and storyboard.

For the dog, now I just want to show how scary this shadow is, and the real dog was friendly and cute. When the kids see the “monster” was a puppy, they will feel surprised and breathed a sigh of relief. Now I didn’t finished whole thinking of this character.

And for the kids, Because for the background of this story, it was happened in a village. I decide to make they look more like a wild kids, they will playing in the field every day.

Reference:

I study with some work has this kind of kids, like “Gravity Falls”(Disney,2012), and some real photo of kids who looks like naughty. They cloth could show their personality in some way. Like Mabel(a character from “gravity falls”), she is a outgoing and active girl, so you can see the pattern and color of her cloth always change.  

Reflection:

In this week, I rethinking with character design. I think “characteristic” and “clear” was more important for the character who was from a 2D animate.  For the storyboard draft, now this draft only have some key scenes, but I think it still have some place need to improve. When I finished it, I think I could add some scene to show why kids did not choose leave this house.
