iDent - Week One

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
Research into existing professional standard iDents relevant to the brief providing annotation on the style and techniques used. Research will be done by looking at existing examples on the iDent library on the E4 website and various other commercial animation websites. I will also research into various illustrative and character-based concept art that will inform the creation of my own characters, again commenting on the styles and techniques used and why I would like the apply them in my own character.	I will start to think of various concepts for my short animation; I will produce a range of ideas so as not to rely on one idea in the early stages of development. I will link the concepts back to the brief and the other aspects mentioned in the proposal and the treatment.	Writing up the proposal and the treatment for my own production. The documents will explain the theory and context of the work as well as the concept and how they relate to the brief given. They will outline such aspects as how I will like the animation to look, what techniques and programs I may use, the intended audience and the concept. It will also concentrate on how I will carry out the evaluation process.	Once I have produced these parts of the pre-production work I will begin work on rough character concepts and rough storyboards of the narrative, commenting on the shot type, movement etc.	Once I have finalized my rough storyboards, I will produce a set of polished images in color to show what the final concept will look like. I will also begin work on my PowerPoint presentation for the following week, the presentation will include all research, video clips and concepts, which I have produced and will be presented to the group for feedback.
