Tutorial

Today I had a tutorial with my tutor regarding my idea for my film this year. These are the notes. You’re working on a script. Have been working on a storyboard. We looked at the highly worked up pictures and you described the story. The characters and the action. You don't want to make direct parody but more the cliché present in a genre of film. Your brother is going to do the music. It's going to be stop frame, plasticine models with an aluminium wire frame. Tutors immediate feedback: Brilliant drawings and some really amusing characters. What stands out for is the drawing of the professor in goldfish bowl and the carrot. That has a sense of originality and depth to the humour. Whilst it's great to see the work involved in the drawings, it would be really good to work in a way that you can explore ideas in a more sketchy way. Get feedback and then work up when you’re at the final stages. Now you have a core of an idea. Write it up. Synopsis beginning, middle and end. What is the story? Target 1: Try and look more critically at images/works, and develop a critical vocabulary Target 2: Reading film/animation journals and magazines will help you to further develop your own writing Target 3: Update your statement of intent to reflect the progress made and more detailed intentions of the production.
