Animation

 21st January 2021

L/O: Explore ideas in response to a given brief

Task 1

The Simpsons









Task 2

At first Bart is seen writing on a blackboard before leaving school on his skateboard. Homer is then seen leaving his job at the nuclear power plant. It then cuts to a scene of Marge shopping for groceries with Maggie. Another shot shows Lisa in her music class before she leaves as well. They are then all seen returning home via various memes before sitting down on the sofa to watch TV as a family.

The animation is unrealistic but simple, it is digital animation.

The whole opening sequence is about a minute and a half long.

Task 3

Main character - Nova - Heir to the throne of hell and one of the two twins, she's a young adult and can be arrogant at times, though cares about her brother.

Secondary character  - Corvo - The other of the Elia twins, he tends to pay attention to things more than Nova and doesn't lose his temper easily.

Storyboard

Task 1

Create a mind map that explores potential ideas for the storyboard.

  • Scene 1 - It opens on a scene of hell's gates, then zooms in on a title. 
  • Scene 2 - Nova is introduced playing a guitar on a mini throne of hell, Corvo is introduced reading on a seat next to her
  • Scene 3 - The camera would zoom in behind Nova and Corvo into the sky, revealing the title of "Twin Paths" burning into the shot.
  • Scene 4 - The camera shoots down across Hell to the ground showing the episode title.

Create a storyboard that details direction and dialogue for the title sequence using your best ideas from the mind map. 

  • No voiceover, maybe an opening narration that introduces the setting
  • I'm not great at music so theme tune I have no idea
