Overall I am happy with my resubmission for encounter module. I have learnt and experienced valuable lessons in developing my work.

Through moments of reflection and evaluation of scenes and developments over the coming months I have found that it has greatly improved my Animation.

For example I found my initial Animation submission felt too rushed to the audience, and didn’t give them a chance to really absorb the information and message I was trying to get across. So one of my main goals for recreating my Animation was to slow down some parts and add pauses of reflection so the audience could engage with my work.

The other main thing I wanted to achieve with this re shoot and submission of my Animation was to add depth to my message, one of the ways I achieved this was by adding the audio narration. Having the narration added to the Animation made it more successful as it explained what was going on visually more and allows the audience to engage more with my Animation Work and appreciate my stylistic choices without having to concentrate on the subtitles to understand what my images are trying to convey.

alternative ending

continuing my thought process from my discussion with Amelia on making the documentary animation thought of in a positive way, or more so, leaving the viewer happy and well informed and not depressed about the topic. I have devided to end the animation showing a more symbolic illustration of how the episodes can be treated and comeinto sync mkaing individuals more leveled out.

script

while developing my animation, i need to write a new scrip which will accompany my animation in subtitles and in audio.

Basing it off of my previous script which was as follows:

Bipolar disorder affects millions of individuals worldwide, yet the condition remains surrounded by common misconceptions. Individuals with bipolar disorder experience episodes which are typically either manic or depressed. These episodes can be rapid switching or rapid cycling. this means an individuals mood state will switch more frequently. Or episodes can go on for a prolonged period of time. Most people with bipolar disorder can be treated with a combination of different treatment methods, talking therapies and medications are commonly used. the aim of treatment is to help maintain stable moods and reduce the severity of episodes.

It is important we rase awareness to bipolar disorder by making sure we are fully informed, for more information please go to bipolaruk.org

 

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide, yet the condition remains surrounded by common misconceptions.

Individuals with bipolar disorder experience episodes which are either manic or depressed.  and hypomanic which is a less severe type of manic episode.

website design/ branding

while continuing my work for my professional practice module i enjoyed delving into graphic design to create my own branding for my business cads/website,Creative CV etc.

 

i decided togo with this logo

i used this colour scheme as it was simple and effective. I also chos this geometric designas geometric and linework is something i often include in my persnal work, It alsolinks to some of my previous projects such as athletes where geometric shapes similar to the one designed in this logo was shown layered with ink drops and marbling techniques.

animation scene adaptions

 

After talking with Amelia in my tutorial and discussing how documentary animations aim to inform but not be doom and gloom and make the viewer leave feeling unhappy, I decided to make a few adaptions to my original story board/ animation.
