Rough Tumb Nails

1. Writing/thumbnailing

I start with a story goal in mind, a short written outline, and a loose series of plot points that I write out on a plot diagram. Since I’m very much a visual thinker, the meat of my writing process involves thumbnailing out small sequences of images. I create scenes organically as I let the pictures lead my thought process on where a scene is going. I fill many pages with scenes and snippets of scenes. Then I go through them all and refine and combine these small scenes into thumbnailed pages as the story fits together in sections. This is a lengthy push and pull process, and I find this method helps me stumble upon a lot of interesting scenes and sequences I may not have thought of if I was writing words with the more logical side of my brain. As I thumbnail I also jot down little bits of dialogue in the margins, but sometimes the visuals will give me a good indication of the story at this point without getting overly detailed about dialogue. In the end, I eventually end up with a rough story pieced together from these small thumbnailed pages. At this stage I do a lot of moving of pages/scenes around, adding dialogue, and adjusting things until I’m happy with the story.

SHOTS

Scene (filmmaking), a part of action in a single location in a TV or movie, composed of a series of shots






An establishing shot is usually the first shot of a new scene, designed to show the audience where the action is taking place. It is usually a very wide shot or extreme wide shot.

CITATION:
    Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Dir. Chris Columbus. Perf. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson. Warner Bros. 2001. Film.

EXPLANATION: In this scene, the audience watches the first year Hogwarts students sail to the school. Using the Extreme Long Shot technique is effective because the viewer sees the boats and then gets first their view of the castle, lit up and beautiful at night. with the music and setting it makes the viewer feel like they are really there. 

 

Over-The-Shoulder Shot

A shot where the camera is positioned behind one subject's shoulder, usually during a conversation. It implies a connection between the speakers as opposed to the single shot that suggests distance.

 

Low Angle Shot

A shot looking up at a character or subject often making them look bigger in the frame. It can make everyone look heroic and/or dominant. Also good for making cities look empty.

High Angle Shot

A shot looking down on a character or subject often isolating them in the frame. Nothing says Billy No Mates like a good old high angle shot.

POV shot

A shot that depicts the point of view of a character so that we see exactly what they see. Often used in Horror cinema to see the world through a killer's eyes.

 

Zootopia references for cities

Rhea,

Pay attention to time of the day. time of the season .

Sunset, evening and winter are more unicolor ( similar tones). 

Day time is more contrast and shows various building's own colors. 

When the sun hits, the window are more reflective and when lights are dark, the windows glow with room lights. 

Or you could go crazy and have fun with your  unrealistic imaginativecolors. 

 Please Have fun!

Top down view of city

Hi Rhea,
This is for your perceptive project.
Think about ...

 time of the day when you color.

  early morning when it is foggy and everything is pastel tone?

 middle of hot day when top of the building are the brightest?

 early sunset? when the sun hits the tallest building?

sunset when every thing is purple and orange?

      late evening when windows lights  are on? or middle of night when the roads are brighter than buildings and the city looks like Christmas lights.
