Saturday 12th October 2008 (5.30-8.30am)
Since my tutorial and peer discussion I have been reviewing and improving my PGD phase presentation. This week I have clocked up approximately 15 hours on peer discussions, thinking and amending the presentation. Having culled the slides from (approx) 40 to 20 I continued to sharply focus on major influences, minor influences and cut out any grey areas. I have amended the way the PowerPoint looks (deleted my original photographic background images and simplified the work significantly. I have made a concerted effort to show how I have been reflective, especially from one animation to the next.
Today I changed the overall Font - from Rockwell to Goudy. The position of the text blocks and type sizes have been altered for consistency throughout. All copy has been edited to fit (any repetition has been deleted). I have also added in the ‘next step’ at the base of relevant slides to show reflective thinking, organization and continuity of the project.
Reflecting on the work I have produced this year has been interesting. When I look through the tests and experiments I am surprised by how many varied responses I had (in the early phase of the MA). It is clear that I was creatively restricted at the beginning and then a significant release happened! I was not able to harness some of this raw material at the time. I hope to go back to that vital work and bring it into the final phase of the animation.
Writing about the work when it appears in a static format, has also been helpful.
It will be prudent to create ‘still’ material for the show and for the International students to explore word stress and intonation ‘schemes’. This work can be research based on other practitioners methods, i.e. linguists, writers, designers and my own concepts will be presented within this context. This outcome, might be printed literature or a set of posters and will be discussed at tutorials and with peers.
Next phase (powerpoint)
Scan in Overseas students sketch of the English language waveform
Import image of international student/TAS interview
Complete slide with stills (Delyse) and critical reflection
Complete slide with research information
Complete slide ‘now then and beyond’.
Re read, amend, check for continuity, discuss with tutors and peers.
The work will be presented to animation students as a useful
‘dry run’, this will be helpful to review timing (15 minutes)
Final amendments
