54402 Studio: Foundations in Animation Design

Description

This subject advances students’ knowledge and skills in the development of both narrative and non-narrative forms of animation. Students build on their experience with a continuing emphasis on primary research through direct observation, photography, film and sound. Studio-based projects focus on the production of animation sequences as final outcomes, and there is a strong emphasis on experimentation and risk-taking throughout. The subject also expands on themes around building narratives for animation through the making and analysis of analogue and digital sequences. Students develop sophisticated visualisation skills in a wide range of hand-made and digital media. Issues such as composition, colour theory, camera framing and movement, visual space and hierarchy are also explored in greater depth.
