Period, location, specific buildings, etc. <span style="color:#cc0000;">Bring in images from magazines, books or images printed from the internet.<br /><br /></span>3. <strong>Reasearch images of: </strong><br /><strong><br /></strong>a. Costumes<br />b. Props<br />c. Hairstyles<br />d. Anything that is relevant to the character.<br /><br />4. <strong>Begin to develop the character and his world, through rough sketches.</strong> (<em>In your sketchbooks.)<br /><br /></em>a. How does the character look?<br />b. What does he wear?<br />c. Any Props?<br />d. How does he move in the world?<br />e. Facial Expressions?<br />f. What is the world location?<br /><br />Good places to find images besides the internet are libraries and museum collections, or magazines like National Geographic. <em>(Great places would be to sketch/photograph from life on location.)</em><br /><br />If you are doing online research, remember to try various keyword combinations when searching Google images, you may also want to try sites like Deviant Art.Anthony Accardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11356256922178664023noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833048900758695095.post-778179739733829312011-01-30T12:26:00.000-08:002011-01-30T12:37:51.592-08:00Lecture 1<strong><span style="color:#003300;">The Story Development<br /></span></strong><br />I. The <span style="color:#993300;">IDEA</span>:<br /><br />a. Fairy Tales: ex. Beauty and the Beast; Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs; Cinderella.<br /><br />b. Book Adaption: ex. Tarzan; Bambi; Pinocchio.<br /><br />c. Original Idea: ex. Lion King: Ratatouille; Nightmare Before Christmas<br /><br /><br />II. The <span style="color:#993300;">CREATIVES</span>:<br /><br />a. In Publishing (Graphic Novel & Children’s Books): Writer, Illustrator, Editor & Art Director.<br /><br />b. In Animation: Writers, Artists, led by a Director and a producer.<br /><br /><br />III. The <span style="color:#993300;">CONCEPT EXPLORATION</span>:<br /><br />a. Who; What; Where; When; Why; How?<br /><br /><br />IV. The <span style="color:#993300;">CONCEPT</span>:<br /><br />a. Good concepts are rooted in a very simple core idea.<br /><br />Ex. Lions, Pirates, Cars, Bugs<br /><br />b. These ideas come with built-in audience recognition. It is then up to the writer and artist to blow-away those preconceptions.<br /><br /><br />V. The <span style="color:#993300;">STORY BASICS</span>:<br /><br />a. After establishing a strong story concept, the write and illustrator develop strong characters with unique personalities.<br /><br />b. Story is about those characters and the emotional journey they take.<br /><br />c. The audience has to relate to the characters, and see themselves in the characters hopes, dreams, insecurities and desires.<br /><br />d. UNDERLYING THEMES:<br /><br />Ex. “Don’t judge a book by its cover”- (Beauty and the Beast)<br /><br />“Good things come to those who wait”- (Cinderella)<br /><br />e. Protagonist must have a basic action (motivation).<br /><br />Ex. Snow White; STOP THE SPELL<br /><br />Cinderella; GET THE PRINCE<br /><br />101 Dalmatians; SAVE THE PUPPIES<br /><br />The Odyssey; GET HOME<br /><br />f. Simplicity and Clarity are really important in storytelling. What does the guy want? Why can’t he have it?<br /><br /><br />VI. <span style="color:#993300;">STORY STRUCTURE</span>: (3 parts like an opera)<br /><br />a. Part one introduces the characters and their world, and gets into the characters dilemma. Part one should end with a problem.<br /><br />Ex. Belles father is lost and captured by the Beast. Belle rescues father by taking his place.<br /><br />b. Part two develops the plot and reveals the motives of the main characters and the depth of their relationship. Part two ends in a completely unsolvable problem for the hero. And all seems lost!<br /><br />Ex. Belle goes from seeing the Beast as a monster to seeing him as a loving friend.<br /><br />c. Act three is all about the resolution. The characters begin the act in a hopeless situation. Protagonist’s courage is revealed in the face of insurmountable odds, and often includes the undoing of evil, and the triumph of good, and the arrival “home” to a new psychological place.<br /><br />d. The three-act structure is only a guideline. It’s important to be completely free with the story and let it be told in its own unique way.Anthony Accardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11356256922178664023noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833048900758695095.post-79625789466242977252011-01-30T10:32:00.000-08:002011-01-30T10:34:09.841-08:00Materials List<strong>Needed for Every class:<br /></strong><br />1.
