This week I have been producing more drawings, so that I can take photographs of them with the Copy Can so that I can see were improvements need to be made before I start shooting for the final film.
Over the next few weeks I am going to make three rough shorts with certain scenes from the story of the film. First one will be the darkness entering the town and school children trying to get away. This way I can watch the drawings on a screen and see how they appear.
This will encourage me to see what is working and how I need to make changes to other part of the process, which are not. The questions which I wlll need to be asking myself are: Is the image clear on the screen, could the person watching the film see all the detail in the image, otherwise they may miss out on the narrative.
Check that the drawings are in the right position each time I take a photograph or when the film is shown it will be jumpy and won’t look very good. Need to mark were the paper needs to go each time, and this can be prevented. Any writing I produce on the drawings needs to be clear on the film, or it won’t be readable. I can check this by viewing it through a projector, then if there is a problem with the size I can see how big it needs to be for further work.
I will be trying out lots of different ideas so that I can see what is working. I am sure this will give me more questions which I will need to answer in order to work towards completing my movie.
