Your first design task is to produce 2+ pages of thumbnail sketches. these could be quick character designs, ideas of scenes or shots in your film or basically any idea that you have on how you might make your film.
Its important that you arent focusing on one idea too much at the moment, as I want you to produce 3 different ideas or versions of your idea as your final peice for unit 1.
Making your thumbnails look good!
While thumbnailing and the genral roughing out of initial ideas is always going to look a bit scruffy, I still have high expectations of what I want your sketchbooks to look like. I want every page to reflect your creativity and imagination.
To help you make nice looking thumbnails I've sketched out some roughs for a design job I'm currently working on. Ive drawn all the roughs in biro (its my prefered choice for scribbling down ideas) and then taken them into photoshop to add a few greys to them and arrange them in a way so I can add notes next to them.
Ive added the images to this blog for you can have a look see at what I want your thumbnails to look like.
I will run through the process of adding the greys and preparing your sketches in todays lessons.
You task
2+ pages of annotated thumbnail sketches for your initial ideas.
