Narrative

During the second and third quarters of the 2017-2018 school year, we had the Narrative unit. It focused on telling a compelling story through dialogue, and the projects were all based around the short story we wrote in English. In Animation, I created a 45-second animation based on my English story, and in Design, I created a movie poster advertising my animation.

 

My short story was based on a concept for a dystopian society I’ve had for quite a while. I chose to focus on exploring what kind of mental toll living in a world like that would take on people.

The movie poster was created to promote my animation. I chose to focus on the dystopian city, creating it with a mixture of Blender and Photoshop, because the setting of the story is the main driver of the conflict.

The largest project in the unit was my animation, which was based on my short story. I tried to play around with detailed backgrounds and gradual changes of color to add to the feel of the story.
