Innovative - Change in Idea

Bethany and I have decided to do the project together. We both wanted to do something similar to Osbert Parker style and Bethany showed me the video below where the town is made out of cardboard and the people are made from paper silhouettes and we decided we wanted to create a town similar to this.

We thought that if we worked together we would get a better result and we can build a better town, as it was going to be a big project. It would be more like what we wanted it to be like if we both helped to make it.We also have similar ideas and work well together.

We first started to brainstorm ideas. We knew we wanted it to be similar to the one above, Osbert Parker and Lotte Reiniger with the use of silhouttes. We wanted to cut out a scene from a movie but not have the details in the people and just have them outlined. We wanted the main focus of the animation to be about the atmosphere and the story and not of the details of the people.


Our idea was to have something creepy and almost scary so we could play with the lighting and sound to intensify the creepy atmosphere. We immediatley thought of something that was Jack the Ripper based so the man could be wearing a cape and you would know he would be villan and the woman, we wanted to be wearing an old style victorian dress so she would be recognisable.

To give them contrast we wanted the woman to be in grey card the man to be in black card. He is the dark villan and so black card would suit him and we wanted her to be a different colour to show she was an innocent victim but we didnt want something that would stand out like pink as, it was a dark creepy setting.

For next week we want to have picked a scene froma creepy movie to keep with the Osbert Parker styel and edit together the scene. We also want to have a plan of how we will construct it so we can manage our workflow.
