Day 46 - Tuesday 11.20.2012

Graphics 1 - This week we will head into full on PHOTO MANIPULATION. You are going to create an AVATAR version of yourself. You should use your WEBCAM to take a photo of yourself (FACE ONLY). Right-CLICK that photo and choose OPEN WITH > PHOTOSHOP. From here you can SKIP TO STEP 3 since we are not using the photo from the tutorial.  (When they say use a shortcut involving CTRL, on a MAC it is CMD.)

Graphics 2 - Work on your GAMEBOY. Click HERE.  If you have finished, you're next project requires you to use the same techniques to recreate a CAR.  You may choose  any car that is pre-1995.  Use the same method.  Outline the car using the PEN TOOL for precision.  Use SHADING, HIGHLIGHTS, and GRADIENTS.  It is recommended to do the line work in ILLUSTRATOR, but if you choose to do all of it in PEN TOOL, make sure you make it 17"x11" @ 300 resolution.

Multimedia 1 - Every movie and story can roughly be explained using 3 ACT STRUCTURE.  Today, I want you to focus on writing the first page of your script in PROPER FORMAT!!!

You need to tell me about your character and their world in 1 PAGE (ACT1).  Everything that was on your CHARACTER SKETCH needs to be presented by the end of page one.  If you look at the graphic below you will see that by the end of page 1 (ACT 1) you need to have a your character face a MAJOR CONFLICT (PLOT POINT.)  Here's a SAMPLE based on my CHARACTER SKETCH from yesterday.
