Project Managment: Homework

From now on we will have to continue Production at home.
Should be okay.
I am capable of helping out with small bits until I get a computer that can handle the programs I need Smoothly

Research: Redoing the thing

so far

How can I effectively represent the close relationship 

I have with my mother through an animated short film, 

using flashbacks as a plot device?

(Due 27/3/20)

Body

   Proposal of six arguments to support project questioning.

My own relationship with my mum (looking into what it is)

Mother Daughter Relation types

Motherhood

Flashbacks (method)

Narration (method)

If I add in, doing a mixture of 2D and 3D
I could go into that, 

·  Short explanation e.g. one to two sentences explaining how argument supports project questioning


.

My own relationship with my mum (looking into what it is)
- Given my story is based on my own relationship, I believe analyzing my own relationship will give me more insight on how to write the characters and story.

Mother Daughter Relation types
Looking into more than one type of Mother?Daughter relationship type will expend what I know and can give me more insight to my own relationship and what type is is, comparing it to others.

Motherhood



Flashbacks 
Flashback are going to be used in my project to drive the story, looking into how other stories use flashback to push their Story further and add to the emotion, could help me understand how to use this method better


  Narration:

·    Proposed references/examples to support each argument and their relevance

My own relationship with my mum 

My own Relationship

 I believe this one is self explanatory, observing the type of relationship I have with my own mother, I can have insight onto the topic of that type of family bond. Given that it is also from my perspective it will help me through my research.

Mother Daughter Relation types

Motherhood

Flashbacks 

- Late Afternoon
- Inside Out

Both of these refrence use flashback as a plot point, as memories to drive the story further, I can use these two to research into how they use them effectively and draw in their audience.

Weekly Film:
MadMan: Your Name

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Your_Name

At first I had no intention of watching this film, but as I got into it, as we watched it in class, I found it to be a good, film it is still not a favorite of mine but I can't deny it was a good movie,
It had a great mixture of tense situations and comedy and in the end had a decent ending.

I do honestly wish they did remember the events of what had happened during the movie but I'm happy they at least got to be together in the end.

The diffrent time or diffrent years was quite the plot twist, it was something that I was not expecting and I found it quite intriging about how it all worked, though it got sad when they started forgetting all that had happened, and eventualy forgot. Wish they could have remembered.

Story

Story Base 1:
Martha tells the sweet story of how she and Nova met,

Story two:
Random stories, of her and Nova getting into trouble


Story: (Treatment)

Ezaru is flying through the sky, crying, bound for her childhood home, she reaches her house, and flops down at the doorway sobbing.
From further in the House Martha Notices the unexpected presence, and approaches, gently reconciling the form,
She asks whats wrong seeing her daughter is upset.
Ezaru fully breaks down, and explain she had a bad fight with Ace, (what was it?)
and she needed to just get away for a while,

Talking

Concept Art:

Like I said further up, I want to create animated concept Art, I intend to do this by creating all the assets required for the image in Photoshop and animating it in either, premiere, aftereffects (iff possible) or Toon boom harmony.

I have used different colours in the early stage to separate what assets I will need to create for the concept art.

Project Managment: Update

So I haven't updated in a while
so far this is what I have been doing in terms of the production.
 Im not sure how much I can say so im keeping things vague

- Concept Art
-Story-boarding

Research: Wednesday One on One

Seeing as I am having a bit of trouble I am meeting with Kathryn Wednesday at 4pm
to help me with the question.

Animation Project: WHAT ON EARTH AM I DOING

Meh

Okay so
Originally I wanted to create a short film of Martha's Origin Story, of Her and Nova meeting, making it a sweet romance story of the two dragons bonding

HOWEVER, I have no idea how this happened but somehow the topic of a mother/daughter relationship got thrown in, and it evolved into Martha telling Ezaru how they met, which is where I am at now, and this is causing my story to clash,

With Ezaru coming to see her mother, I can't find a smooth
way of getting into why Martha is going into explaining why she and her father met.

The point of Martha using past stories is to calm Ezaru down,
comfort her after she has had a tough time     



What I love about the mother/daughter and why I liked it in the first place, is the fluffy feeling I get when I am spending time with my mum.
I don't want to copy and paste our relationship but mimic the emotion I feel,
The characters are going to be only loosely based on real life,

mainly
because I have issues with liking myself and hate connecting myself to characters I love (Dumb I know)           

What I think is possibly veering away from Martha and Noctus meeting, and more focusing on events that happened on their travels, funny stories and challenges,
to cheer up Ezaru and make her laugh.


For the question, I still am expecting this to evolve, and I still want to look into family dynamics, Im just not too sure how
 (also that group feedback thing only succeeded in making me panic because LARGE GROUP LOOKING AT ME)
