170 Weekly Reflections

This class was an introductory to the unit, the overview given was comprehensive and gave me understanding of what is expected of the unit. During class we performed various drawing exercises in photoshop to have a general insight into the workings of photoshop. We discussed personal matters and how through reflection and appropriate application can be applied to productions. During the planning and conceptualising phase of making a character I've started with advice from a friend of mine. His method for creating a character would have him produce an environment first. The setting can help develop a characters aesthetic, any props they might use and even their mannerisms. I went deep into creating a fantasy world for my character and I found it was great help for the conceptualising of the characters themselves.

This week I learned the holistic assessment methods used to grade my works and progress. How to make and utilize a Learning Journal. The correct process for uploading assignments and how to use Google Drive.

I will need to find a way of creating 2D concept drawing of my characters. Think of the props they could use and clothing they would wear. Any battle scars they might have and their general expressions.
