- Concept of theme and style
We determined that the project we want to do is the type of game promotional film, and then published our content on Padlet, hoping to find other students who are also interested in it. Soon, two students majoring in 2d contacted us and expressed interest and willingness to cooperate.
We discussed and watched a large number of videos of various game promotional films together, and we finally tended to produce short and exquisite game animation content. After we discussed and determined the Gothic style, we began to work together. After that, we began to search a lot of reference pictures about Gothic characters and scenes. Through these reference pictures, we can design our protagonists and scenes faster.
- Script
We initially wrote a more complex script and then drew the storyboard. We showed it to our tutor for advice and tutor helped us to analyse and understand the script in depth and felt that the content was too big and difficult to complete in the limited time available. This was a very helpful tutorial, which helped us a lot. And then We re-set the story script and re-drew the storyboard, and after taking it to our tutor again, we finally decided on the current storyboard.
A good script and story setting need to be constantly revised and improved by seeking the help and feedback from tutors.
- Why do we need story setting and storyboard?
Animation script story setting is the main body of expression of the theme of animation works. The most direct and main way to express the theme of animation works is the story content and plot narration. A good story setting is the source of attracting audiences, and a good storyboard will contain ways and methods that are suitable for telling a good story.
