Studio Brief 2- A Tale in the Sting- Chosen Finalised Character Clips

Chosen Finalised Character Clips

Here are all of the scenes i used of me filming my character model, act out what i wanted, with him imagining something was near him or weighing him down in these different places. This task took me quite a while to do, not with the filming, but with planning out how long they needed to be to get the message across for each scene. As well as getting enough camera angles and interesting shots. I also needed to think about what exactly i was going to ask my model to do for each scene which was a different experience. This is becuase i had never done anything like this before so it was hard giving stage directions when it was rather difficult to imagine it all fully in my head.

I chose these scenes as they are the main places people tend to be day to day. This meant that when someone was watching the campaign for Samaritans. They would feel an emotional attachment to the character, as they can see that they felt similar in their own homes too. This would hopefully go towards helping more people, and touching more lives in getting Samaritans out there to help as many people as possible, and letting them feel comfortable enough to call in for help.

As i was basing my character on the build of this model, i needed him to do the scenes. This is why i have no green screen and had to cut out all of the scenes in a process. It wasn't just becuase i wanted that rough cut out look, but that i didn't have the equipment handy to do it another way. This meant the process took a long time with cutting out each frame. As overall i have cut out more than 1000 frames for all of the scenes.

This is the creature i have designed for the depression feeling. As i was told by peers that they may not think it is depression or understand it. I have shown the creature to have a purple hue as a form of negative energy that gets bigger as the creature does. This shows how the creature effects the person as time progresses.

I do think this was a good attempt as i had never drawn animals before, but i do think i could have designed it better, but i couldn't figure out how to get the anatomy correct when it was in certain positions and angles. So this is what i decided to do instead. But it does attract the attention of the viewer as it needs to have an effect, because people with depression feel it all the time and it is a threatening presence for them daily.
