Honour's Project: The 4th year at University

The final year at university has arrived, this year I've been given creative freedom to choose what I want to do as my honers project.

For this I've chosen two routes to go down. These two project revolve around animation,

Idea one will involve creating a showreel which demonstrates character acting and performance. For this I plan to research into animators to learn theories and techniques they use to create a convincing character performance. For my final submission I plan to create a demoreel which demonstrates my practices and lessons in animation. By creating a showreel not only will it be a stepping stone into animation but I will have something to showcase my skills.

Idea two is creating an animated short. The aim is to design and create a short film which uses visual narratives to convey a story over to the viewer; this will be made using animations software. 

For research I plan to look into directors both film and animation, from the research gathered I hope to have a knowledge and understand of film techniques and theories on visual narratives to create a short film.
