Week 7 - Final Animatic

This is the final rendition of my animatic storyboard. I didn't alter much of the second animatic storyboard for this final version. One of the changes i did make was to the scene in which the protagonist is knocked down by the antagonist. As the protagonist is getting up I changed the camera angle from being from the protagonist's perspective to being from the antagonist's perspective. Doing so made this part of the scene look much more fluent and gave better communication to the audience as to what is happening in the scene. The other problem I fixed was to do with some of the timing within the animatic. Within a few areas of the second animatic, there were some frames that were on screen for too long and others too short and so I went through the animatic in Adobe After Effects and located these off frames. This final version of my animatic storyboard involves, apart from some simple background scenery, everything I will need to have planned out in order to assist me in developing my final scene.

Pose of the Week (Week 7) - Weak

This is my attempt at week 7's pose of the week, that is, weak. I drew some of my inspiration from the two images below, one being Homer from the television show "The Simpsons" and the other being an exhausted marathon runner. Homer's facial expression is what I had aimed for for my pose. Half shut, blankly staring eyes with a relaxed, drooping lower lip give the face a very exausted look. To get the body language of a weak pose right I looked at the image of the exhausted marathon runner. Having the character weak at the knees is a very expressive way of getting a weak pose across to an audience and so an exhausted runner seemed to be an obvious figure to draw inspiration from.
