During the class, we learnt about what makes a good film. I was introduced to the storyline graph movies usually follow and how to keep the audience interested throughout the story.

Reflection from class:
I completely forgot how to draw legs like I was taught last week so it took me a while to process what I need to focus on until towards the end of the class when I picked it up again.
Unlike last week, this week has been tough because of the body type that I’m not familiar with causing me to spend a while figuring out the ’beans’.
Still, I had a lot of fun although I felt really challenged by the class.
Storytelling workshop (27th of Feb):
During the class, we learnt about different archetypes in different stories and how one may have more than one archetype.
We were then asked to team up to write our own story based on the archetype.

My friend and I wrote a story of a princess (Maiden/Villain) and a random forest man (Crone/Hero).
The princess wanted to fill the world with horniness and went on a journey, tricking a random forest man to take her to the wishing well. When the devil showed up, the random forest man who intended to steal the princess’ money fought for them and died. The whole world then was ruled by the princess who crowned herself as the Horny Queen who rides the devil.
Reflection from class:
I have never had a proper class on archetypes but have learnt about it through media a while ago. It wasn’t as effective as I had hoped it would since I didn’t really learn anything new.
However, the class brought out a lot of creativity in me and inspired me to always be open to odd stories.

Reflection from class:
I have gained my ability and knowledge on drawing legs and since I spent the last class focusing on the ’beans’, I felt like class went perfectly smoothly for me.
My only regret is that I don’t really know how to draw hands and they all came out looking so out of proportion.
Overall reflection week 17 & 18:
With the approaching deadline, I feel like the two weeks’ lectures have been unnecessary since I have learnt all of it online or during my BA animation days.
Still, I think it is not a lost to be reminded of important components to make good animation along with good storylines.
