Week 1 and 2

Week 1

In week 1 we was told what to expect from this module and how the module was set out, we were shown our module handbook and out tutor went through the requirements that were needed to pass this module. We were told that the assignment 1 was to create a scene from a movie either on your own or with another person and assignment 2 was to keep an up to date blog of progress.

I decided to work with Danny Bannister and we decided on doing the film Children of men. For the second week we were told to get a presentation ready for the next lesson which explained what movie we were doing, how we researched the movie and the time plan we had set out to complete the assignment.

We decided on which scene we were doing and we both decided it was a great scene to do because it contained vechiles which Danny wanted to, assets which i was intrested in and the environment which we were both intrested in. The video below is the scene we will be doing.

Week 2

In week 2 me and Danny started putting our presentation together, and started researching different kinds of factors for our scene. Danny concentrated on real life reference e.g. Bosnian war and the Chechen war, where as i was researching the other kind of films and games that had a similar feel to the scene we were doing, e.g. Fallout, gears of war and uncharted 2. While I put all of the presentation together Danny created a rough block out of the scene to let the audience get a  idea of the scene we were doing. Also in the presentation there was information on how we would use our time to get everything done efficiently and also there was mood boards of props and environments.

On the day we presented the presentation we explained everything really well and at the end of the presentation there were no questions asked, so I assumed the idea was clear and everyone agreed it was a good scene to do.

In week 3 we are going start modelling some of the environment and some of the props, Danny will start modelling the rubble and other assets, were as I am going to be focusing more on the buildings. We hope by the end of week 3 we can start to see some good development in our work and see the scene coming together.
