Final task: Formatting for text and image

Storyboarding and Narration


In storyboarding, storyboards or visual illustrations are displayed in a sequence for the purpose of previsualization before producing a video, interactive media, comic, game and animation. This idea is developed by Walt Disney Studio during early 1930s to create scenes on sheets of paper and pinning on a bulletin board for the story sequence before animating it.  (Instructional design, 2015)

One advantage of storyboarding is it allows the designer to experiment and do changes whenever needed before production of real one. It also to show the clients with 'demo' so that they will be interested like a trailer or teaser. Disadvantages are the sketching on a paper might be change when transferred into the media so designer nowadays prefer rapid prototyping than storyboarding.
(Instructional design, 2015).

Narrative is a report of events presented to the readers or listeners in words in a sequence. Narrative will form a story. With narration, the narrator able to deliver a story and pass a message to the viewer. Different medias are used to express the stories nowadays and also to share the knowledge as well as to communicate visually with the people. Narratives are used to attract readership and entertain the readers.  (Literarydevices.net, 2016).

There are 6 major narrator type:
- first person view , Example: 'I'
-second person view, ' You'
-Limited third person , 'he' or 'she'
-Omniscient author, 'multiple characters'
-Unrelieable narrator, 'assumptions'
-Observer narrator, 'the witness'                                        (Now Novel, 2016)

Diorama refers to a 3 dimensional model of landscape, event, space, scene or room for exhibition purpose. It is also called prop set where a story or scene takes place in a small place/stage for the viewer. Sometimes stop motion animation can be taken at the small diorama.     (wikihow.com, 2016)

Experimentation

For my project, the researcher did some experimentation before proceed with real one. One of that is testing the led with the right battery. With 9 Volt Battery the LED completely burned out because of overcharged. So the researcher tried with 1.5 Volt. But the light was still dim. 3 Volt battery was worked excellently with LED.

For the pop up poster, it was made in a small paper first to see how it is going to look.

Task 3 and 4: Literature Review and Proposal

Click on this link for Proposal



From this task I learned how to write literature review as well as proposal for a project. This will help me a lot in future.

Ideas for Final Task (Proposal)

We were asked to come out with an artwork from any of the art movement that learned, by choosing and combining them.

 

5.0 The Finishing stage of Philosopher sculpture

Some metals are attached to the base to screw them tight to the base. The base of the sculpture will be made with wooden logs.

Figure 5.1: Attachments of metals

The site of the sculpture going to be fix is dug about 4 feet depth with a drott.

Figure 5.2: The dug site

Figure 5.3: The wooden logs for the base

The wooden logs will be cut equally and excess trunks or barks will be removed before placing inside the dug hole.

 Figure 5.4: Wooden logs placement in the hole.

 

Figure 5.5: Placement of logs inside the dug hole.

 

 

Figure 5.6: The 'Philosopher' which has been moved out. 

Lecturers and other coworkers are carrying the sculpture to be put on the wooden logs.

Figure 5.7: Placing the sculpture on wooden base.

 Figure 5.8: sculpture is placed on the wooden base.

The head of the sculpture was fixed after that.

Figure 5.10: Fixing the head.  

The work is still in progress. The further prediction for this sculpture will be adding more 250 kg of metals to the sculpture to increase the height. During this process, the probability of getting electric shock by the welding tool is higher especially during rainy days, so precaution needed to be taken. Avoid working during raining season. Furthermore, the heavy metal is placed on a wooden material below it. This can lead to sinking of the sculpture after a longer period. So, my suggestion is soak the wood in high quality synthetic resin water repellant and make sure all the edges are coated well. Other than that, add medium sand and also concrete in between the woods and cover the upper part with concrete. Furthermore, make small drainage channels at lower part to drain excess water into the main drainage.
