 My role on the production🎥🖉



Over the course of the past few weeks, I have explored the different ways commercial walking simulators entertain, communicate and market their audience as well as how I could use these techniques within my project. Well, today I will be rounding up with my last blog discussing more about my own project.

 

My last question is: 🌟 What are you producing in your environmental storytelling project and how will your work enhance the final project as well as your Spec work and how you will improve your techniques.

 

My initial role in my environmental storytelling project is to work on crafting the storyboards and drawing one of the backgrounds for the project. However, I also worked a lot on managing and working in unreal such as blocking out the layout and sourcing and adding in the assets. So far, I have produced story beats, storyboards, a synopsis and beat by beat breakdown, block out, asset implementation and a drawn background with some background drafts.  I plan that I will enhance the final project by doing whatever needs to be done to the best of my ability so that the final project will be finished and presentable. 

Next is my specialisation.

 

For my specialisation, I am working towards becoming a storyboard artist. I likewise, have been dabbling with illustration, cinematography, composition, storytelling and film language. As for my involvement in the project I used my specialisation to help with creating story beats of our project and how it would roughly play out. I also, expanded on this and created various storyboards outlining both the animations for the memories and the gameplay in-between. Another thing I worked on was the environments in the project including drawing them and adding assets into unreal. Working on the environments still relates to my specialisation as it uses my illustration and composing skills.

 

I plan to improve my techniques by using the project as an opportunity to practice and experiment with my storyboarding skills, workflow, problem solving and management.

While working on the storyboard I had the opportunity to do various versions to adjust to feedback and fix stuff up. This helped in knowing what was working like the actions or composition and what wasn't working like the shots or story.

 

 It also was the first time I experimented with using story beats as a way to visually communicate the key points in the narrative and how they work together.  I first learnt of story beats from the video "tips for making a story portfolio for feature and TV animation"  (Tonika Pantoja, 2018)  while working on my specialisation. I feel this was a good way to help me understand what we are trying to portray in the story, and I would definitely use it again.

 

The other techniques I got to improve on was my workflow, problem solving and management. As I was slightly unfamiliar with unreal engine, I had to do a lot of research and problem solving to do things like adding in the backgrounds or working with blueprints. It, likewise, also helped me understand the workflow from blocking out to implementation. Furthermore, I also did a lot of management like working on my teams Gantt chart, communicating on discord and organising our drive.

 

Workflow, problem solving, and management also work to improve my specialisation as storyboards are usually done in a short amount of time so I need to be able to be efficient in my work and fix any problems that may occur like needing to redraw scenes or program issues.

Give a detailed response as to how you plan to take your role project output and have it be an effective means of self-promotion for your specialist practice

Project Promotion💬   (Built in, n.d.) “Digital marketing offers a more affordable way to reach a broad target audience. It gives marketers data-driven insights on their target audience and their buying behavior” (Mishra, 2020, p.2). Similarly, the question of the week is: ⭐How do I plan to take my project output and self-promote it?  Just like Digital marketing for a business, a person's success in the creative industry can heavily rely on the way they market themselves. Self-promotion is important as it allows an outside audience to acknowledge and consider your work. This opens up opportunities in the workforce as people will know about you and the quality of your work and skills.      For me, I plan to promote my work using my portfolio. I plan to publish my final specialization output on sites like Artsation and Rookies. Both Artstation and Rookies are sites where you can display your work to the public and add information about yourself for employers. However, Artsation is mo

Who is my Target audience and how I plan to target them with my project.

Target Audience👫 (Teamly, n.d.) This Trimester I plan to continue with my story artist role. To do this I will be working towards creating a fleshed out animatic. Likewise, I want to explore my storytelling abilities by creating a story with a deeper character narrative, message, and mood than my past animatics. Henceforth , to make my final project effective I must first consider my audience.   Likewise, this week I will be investing: 🌟 Who is my Target audience and how I plan to target them with my project.   So, then what makes a target audience and why is it important? Well, often when " Movie Makers start creating a new movie [they start by] targeting a specific audience group or groups. Audience age is one of the essential criteria for the target audience . Some movies are created by targeting the junior audience group. Some movies target teenage audiences, [some] target the mid-age and senior audience group, and some movies are for all. Suppose we could predic
