Sets And Characters

Throughout our advert we originally was going to have a black set with a mask as the head. But this didnt  turn our as we wanted as the mask was to flimsy and would of held the mass of clay and due to various other material factors. So Brendan the technician then showed us a mannequin that would work and have a much more realistic affect to it. So after I'd already made our black box set we discovered it was useless because the mannequin was to big to fit into the box so we had to have a different plan. We decided on having just a black background from a sheet. The only worry with was the lighting, if we had it to high or in the wrong angle you could see all the creases and imperfections so we were limited there but it turned out really well and worked. Whilst me and group member Rebecca were working on creating our model Keiran was sorting out all the images for our 2D animation. It took us about 2 days to complete our model and extra mouths and hair for when she transforms and ages. We were very pleased with ourselves and the finished model. We called her Margaret!




Above is me creating our master piece. I really enjoyed it, seeing the start and then getting it to the standard she is now, watching the process was brilliant and it felt good accomplishing her.

We had trouble with the soundtrack, we originally wanted an older more mature voice but was unable to arrange a suitable date for someone to come into to record. So then we had second thoughts and wouldn't mind a younger audio as it's supposed to be a younger women aging fast, so we recorded Rebecca's voice after a few attempts. We had to go into a really quite room and shut the door because the dictaphone picked up on all the smallest noices.
