LAUAN403 - Task 2- Appeal and Staging.

Our objective in this study task was to create and design our own character and create background information, a model sheet and a turn-around sheet of the character we design. We began by sketching different facial features such as eyes and noses, and slowly constructed our own character with it's own personality traits and attitude, as well as background story.



Critical Analysis

Positives:    

• Interesting character design and concept.

• Well displayed examples of character's personality.

For the second part of Study Task 2, we were tasked with creating a scenario for our characters to experience and create a story board using photographs of photographic poses of ourselves and others. We were also instructed to create masks of our characters, however this was optional. On this story board, we had to describe each key scene briefly.
