Presentation Planning

For Tuesdays presentation, i was given the topic of Defining Character.

I've laid out some bullet points to start me on my way.

• What is Character? Defining? Why is that important?

• Live action clip – Lord of the rings, Gandalf confronts Bilbo.

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5yTB__AYHc&feature=fvsr

  - Gandalfs Rhythm, two halves, caring friend, powerful wizard.

  - Power centre, camera angle, lighting, etc.

  - What do we learn about Gandalf in this clip?

• Animated Clip – Beauty and the beast. Beast scares belle

  - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qPFLcpkKZs

  - Beasts rhythm. Two halves, monster, unsure child.

  - Power centre, camera angle, lighting, etc.

  - What do we learn about Beast in this clip.

• Defining moments

  “Actions Define characters” - Ed hooks

  Carlos Baena on power centres

  Relationship between power centres and rhythm – Ed Hooks

• Comparisons between the clips.

  - Rhythm accelerations, rising power centres, then sudden drops.

  - similar scene composition

Difference between Live action and Animation? Both similar scenes, therefore approached very much in the same way. Animation has slightly more over gesturing, but it's in context. I.e, beast vs Gandalf, Monster vs old man.
