Week 2B

In class, we had began working on our visual narrative. The purpose of this assignment as to start looking for inspiration from other animations and getting a vague idea of how we would style ours. Right now, i'm just looking and playing around with a lot of different ideas. The only thing i'm really set on is using a lot of symbols for my animation. When reading the script, I had got a lot of symbolic imagery appear in my mind. During class, we had also received a refresher on how to use Adobe After Effects since it wasn't a program many of us had been using often. We were reintroduced to the interface, as well as going over elements of motion design such as Pause, Duration, Rhythm, Pace and others. This was a very valuable lecture, as I was somewhat unsure on ho to do some specific things in AAE.
