In this exercise I experimented with various poses for the already rigged model. I tried out various poses from mostly sports while still trying to remain varied to even a knight duel for further experimentation. I had pose not just the limbs but also fingers to add details to the character, adjust the neck, tilt their head to detail the posture and act. Make it seem more lifely. I also chose the poses because I felt there was some ambiguity to the expression and action of the character. Is he running and excising or running in fear?
Hey Ted,
ReplyDeleteOkay - so this looks pretty solid to me; a couple of things: in terms of your plot synopsis, focus on the best way to give the outline while also setting up the essay. For example, if the framing device 'doesn't' become part of your analysis later on or doesn't preface your idea about 'anti-authority' then consider if this bit needs to be in your synopsis. The synopsis much achieve two specific things: 1) outline the film to the reader who has never seen it and 2) focus the reader on the elements of the film that your essay will explore in more detail. There's no point giving lots of story detail in a plot synopsis if that detail isn't setting up the emphasis of the essay that follows.
Just a note too: you look to be referring to Freudian ideas as part of your analysis - if so, you'll need to ensure that you include a definition of those ideas within the text, as opposed to assuming your reader will be already familiar with them. I'm not suggesting you write a mini-essay on Freud, I just mean you need to ensure your reader has the means within the assignment to understand any key terms you're analysis is relying on.
Just in terms of your conclusion, you never need to write a closing line like 'It has been thoroughly examined by...' The reader knows this - the conclusion is a summing up of your findings, not a reassurance of the writer to the reader that they've been a good student.
