Our Group Presentation

This is a brief outline what we covered in our group presentation:

We answered these 8 Questions

1) TITLE
2) What will be the overall content and style, genre of the narrative?
3) Is this work similar to something that already exists, if so give an example and if not why not?
4) What are you intending to be the effect on the audience?
5) What are the key events that make up the narrative/story?
6) Provide justification that it is possible to produce the narrative/story on time with the resources allocated and available.
7) Explain the technical format you will use for your finished narrative.
8) Give a breakdown of the roles and tasks that individuals will undertake during the project.

Answers

1. Eternal Conflict

2. (see question 5)

3. Samurai Jack, The Mask, Sin City, A Scanner Darkly

4. We are hoping to provoke discussion on the themes of duality and interior conflict present in the main character. We are also hoping to entertain the audience with a distinctive visual style and an exciting action scene, we want to emphasise the aesthetics of the film with little sound.

5. The three key events are when the white character looks in the mirror and sees the darker side of himself. The battle that ensues as the two elements jostle for supremacy and the final scene where the white element is revealed to be hollow and the black element takes the fallen elements mask and places it on himself. He becomes a fusion of the two elements and balance is restored. the story will be linear and have a traditional three act structure. It is influences by the noir genre and the fight will be styled like Japanese animé.

6. We have members of our group who have experiance in both film and animation, the visual style is primarily film, traced over with contrasting black and white in flash. This is a very straightforward, yet time consuming method. Because of its simplicity all members of the group can be taught this technique. Backgrounds will be made from still photos heavily edited in photoshop. This eliminates the need for props as they can be drawn in.

7. The technical format will likely be a flash file exported as quicktime.
