Review of week 4.

This week I have done a lot more in-depth research into my story and looked at possible ideas surrounding that. I firstly looked at why people fear death and the reasons behind that, and i also looked into what happens when we die and what different theories surround that. I watched the film The Lovely Bones as it related well to my current research as it shows one possible explanation for what happens when we die. I look at news reports and interviews of people who have had near death experiences and say they have seen what happens when we die. I then conducted a few interviews asking people if they fear death and what they think happens when we die, I got a few interesting results but it was mostly what i had already researched. I then started thinking about ideas and completed my first storyboard. After looking at that i realised i wanted to make a fun animation from quite a serious story so I looked at the campaign dumb ways to die this campaign has created a fun song out of a serious matter of death. I then drew my second storyboard which I really like incorporating animals into the story. I then looked at the Procrastination animation on vimeo, i really like this animation as it is very visual and takes the narration very literally , I then drew up another storyboard using this technique which i think worked really well. I then looked at tim burtons character design to get ideas for my own animation. And finally i went to the sundance film festival which i found very interesting and very useful.
