P3 Considerations (ask yourself)

  1. Hook: Is there a strong hook (emotional, surprising statistic, relevant question or quote, metaphor, story, provocative statement, incite curiosity, intriguing visual, “imagine” statement)? Ways to improve.
  2. Timing: Does the movement synchronize with music or voiceovers? Identity moments are out of sync or timed incorrectly.
  3. Transitions: Do any scenes enter/exit at the wrong time? Are there any transitions that seem out of place or lacking?
  4. Formal Considerations: Do the design choices connect with big idea? Does anything break the unity throughout?
  5. Concept in Motion: Do the objects move in a way that connects with the concept? Identify how their motion moves. Choose a descriptive word and discuss whether it aligns. https://dfsalvador.com/2011/08/16/51-useful-words-to-describe-motion/
Project 3 Schedule (100 pts)
  1. 11.11 – lecture: motion unconstrained / introduce p4 to start idea generation / studio for project 3
  2. 11.13 – final crit (30s) / ae demo: stop motion + time remapping
  3. 11.18 – due: P3 + e4 due (extended for the final time)

Due Next Class: 30s of P3 development for Final Critique

Due 11.20

  • P4: (IF you can start before Thursday—great. IF not, this work will be due next Thursday 11.21).
    • Ideate 3 events and brainstorm a list of 5 keywords for each event to describe the mood of each (i.e., tribal, ethereal, freedom, hipster, serenity, turmoil, dimensional, modular).
    • 2 comprehensive mood boards (1 for each event concept—include type, color, style, imagery, textures/illustration styles, 5 descriptive words)
    • 20 sketches to 2 events (10 per event)
    • post to Medium (no late-point deduction through 11.28)
