This week Sherrie and I discussed what my focus should be on my thesis. I showed here some character studies I did over intercession, or Lucy, Albert, and one of Eleanor. She liked some of them, but agreed with me when I said that I hadn't quite "found" of the characters yet. She recommended that I leave character design for a while, and focus my attention on finding the look of the film.
For this week, I'm going to be working on thumbnails for the entire film. Minimum, 100.
I'm gonna be working on composition, positive and negative shapes, working on how to best direct the eye to the focal points. I will also be applying value, focusing on atmospheric conditions, and lighting conditions.
I feel like this is the best move for me right now. I really need to have a better idea of how the story flows together, and doing thumbs of the story will really help me to literally visualize the film.
