This is my film submission, but I have not finished my film and so I will be continuing to work on it until the degree show which is my deadline for finishing it.
I know I could of organised my time better through this semester with the work experience but it was new to me working on a project for a client and I am happy that I was able to do. I do not mind if that has affected this project as I will finish my film no matter what before the degree show.
I have animated all of it, taking on the advice from Emily, but I was unable to animate the feet again in the memories section and the credits, but this will be done in the next week. I have also put in place holder bubbles, which will be coloured similar to my poster and place holder ink, when the tentacle appears which will also look similar to the poster. I also need to added the dates on the grave and make the grave more rounded like the others.
I am overall extremely happy with my project and feel it has really come along from the very beginning and hope it will continue to until the end.
I did not manage to add the sound effects as the ones I had recorded did not work and I didn't want to rush looking online for them. They will be added later.

Animation Production - Week 14 - Final Film Progress and Poster
This week we had a deadline for, which I then later found out I could still get them printed after the deadline.
It was not a waste of time though as after I created the poster I was able to use it below in the scene where she is floating up in the bubble.
Below is the link for the background paper texture I used and will be using in my final film.

Below is some links to the videos I used to create the poster and help with lighting and effects.
The first video is how to add particles as I wanted to add it as the particles you see in the ocean, but I didn't want it to be too much and so it is not as noticable in the image below.

The second link is how to add underwater lighting on photoshop, this was extrememly helpful as I wanted there to be light at the top going down to the drakness at the beottom where the tenatcale is.

Final Film Poster 'Sinking'
I also carried on with the animation changes Emily said about, this week.
I started with the tentacle at the end on top of the woman, Emily had suggested to make this more forceful and have the tentacle really push her down. Also to add more weight to it and her flopping to the floor and more power when she pushes the tentacle off.

I also needed to add more weight when she stood up and the push someone would have when trying to stand.

Below is the end scenes together.

I needed to add a few frames from when she got up and how she would get into the bubble. I didn't feel that the audience needed to see her exactly get into the bubble so I added her looking at the bubbles before she runs away from the tentacle moving as this would suggest her running towards the bubbles and getting into them.
I also changed the way she was in the bubble in the end, making her more squished into the bubble as she goes off.
I struggled with what to do in the end and asked my mum for advice. I had thought about repeating the foot and jumping up at the beginning, but after talking with my mum she suggested not too as it would give off the wrong perspective of depressions and this is something I definitely didn't want to do.

I next went onto the animating of the panning of her going up in the bubble, I was able to use the poster I had made and this made this easier.

This is the animation added all together, I still have some parts of the animation left to do but should hopefully be able to finish them in the next couple of days.

Animation Production - Week 13 - Final Film Progress
This week I finished off my evaluation so it is ready to be submitted next week.
Emily's Feedback -
Emily went through scene by scene and told me exactly everything I need to fix. One of the overall fixes was that I needed to make sure I kept to my own character design, which is something I have also ways found difficult to do and really need to work on. There was a big list of everything I need to change, some were small and some I needed to reanimated a lot, something that I didn't think I needed to do but i'm glad I am doing as I don't want a film I am not proud of.
I also took the animation advice from Emily last week and started to put in into my animation. Below I have made the pull down faster to make it more dramatic and i feel it makes it flow better, I also added a better bounce when she is smacked on the floor. I made it so her arm doesn't go through the floor and I feel It looks a lot better already from last week and they were not major changes.

I also went onto change the memory section again. I have had so much trouble with this section, but after an idea Emily gave me last week I feel it has finally got there. It is much better from the beginning and even though i wanted to give up on this section sometimes, I'm glad the changes each week has finally paid off and I am very happy with it.
I think the fact she is desperate comes across.
I showed it to my mum and she seemed happy with it and the feedback Sam suggested below.

Sam saw the new memory section and felt it looked a lot better than before, but she felt it would be more realistic if the grave of Dido (Ukrainian for grandad) had dates on it and was a similar shape to the rest of the grave stones. I think this is a good idea as it make it easier for the audience to understand and connect with that section, even if they don't know what Dido means.
