The De La Warr Pavilion were running a competition to design a short film showing what our idea of a pier was. I decided to base this project off of memories and both myself and my family and friend have great memories of visiting various piers as children. A lot of those memories were of Hastings pier so I decided to bas my project on that. After researching into the timeline of Hastings pier and visiting the museum, as well as taking photographs of the location so I could see what aspects could be incorporated into the environment I needed to create a storyboard. Using These photos I created a background sequence for which to animate onto. I think this worked well because it was clear what aspects were real and which ones were memories. Below is the final animation. Evaluation
I approached this project in a structured way, which enabled me to be able to develop a clear idea of the final theme quite early on, giving me more time to research and create my final outcome. I feel this approach is best for projects with a short time frame. However I do feel that using a bit more time to develop and refine my narrative could have been useful. If I had planned ahead with regards to the filming I may have been able to create the animation that I wanted to originally do, which is something that I will consider in future projects. Overall I am pleased with the outcome of this project. I think the animation is fitting to the brief and the narrative is engaging. One of the things that I was worried about with my storyboard was the ending. I wasn't quite sure how to bring the animation to an end. However I think that the fading out of the image as well as the music works well and brings the film nicely to an end.
