second tutorial

Scene 1

Andy felt that l should try using real glasses to keep it in with the other photorealistic elements
Martins head is down too long - could try an intermediate shot and a blur
Work on the timing of the glass animation

Scene 2

Work on Jesses entrance at the canal, maybe use a blur or the predator effect
l am still unsure how to make the entrance for Jesse - Andy suggested looking at some surreal stuff

Scene 3

Based on the positioning of the camera, l might need to add a floor to the canal wall
Need to add depth of field to the back wall. (Actually it is a good thing that l am typing this up now because l forgot about this) It is needed. Could do this by adjusting the apperture
The yellow glow used as a transition from the passage to Athaleahs pad is not working at all. l need to look at the lense flare filter

Scene 4

Add depth of field to show distance between Jesse and the stainglass window (another one l forgot to look into, tut tut tut)
Need to adjust the angle of Jesse and Athaleah to show that they are different shots. Originally l had just adjusted the position of the trees in the background but Andy felt that this was not enough. l agree
Could try to have them both in the same
The part where Jesse days 'dreams' l could have his head up then down and then up again
Could make him blink
lower opacity slightly
Look into the line thickness of the characters including angry man. The angry man could blink and his eyebrows could move

Andy feels that the chess board colours should be changed to black and white (uhhhhm, not too sure about that. l have seen coloured chess boards. l am trying to get a woodeny effect) The scene as it stands looks as though the animations are taking place on a kitchen floor, this l agree with. Andy wasn't too sure about the chess board scene. l suppose it is the connotations and denotations that have to taken into account when using particular elements. The use of the model Gissele for instance, there are many other implications that come into play. Who she dates? What her belief system is? Her nationality? etc. The way she blurred across the chess board again was not executed exactly as l would like it to be- needs more work. The money, is the same wad and are dollars, is that a problem? is my market limited to the UK and therefore needs to have the Queens head on it? The house is suppose to represent wealth, l agree that it possibly looks like a house in Handsworth that has been converted into flats, but then l also feel again that this is subjective. One mans rubbish is another mans riches. Same goes for the car. The inclusion of the supers - the use of symbolism. The whole point of the Lion, bear, dragon and eagle being in the scene is that they apocolyptically represent the main powers that will be at the forefront of things in the end time according to the bible. l have put a link to a site called the book of revelation. l am going to have to go back and do some more tests on it.

Surrealism again could be incorporated -Dahli, Hitchcock, Andy mentioned the lawn mower man, Bas Lermain??(think l need to look this one up) Shakespeare. Could have things flying through the air.

Scene 5

Need to cut back on the zooms
try cutting to a close up
