For this exercise, we are tasked to film a short scene to capture our main actions and emotions from one of the four options of the scenario. After consideration, I have chosen the scene "The Godfather, by Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppolla". This is the short video clip that I have acted out for "The Godfather" scene.
"The Godfather"
"Without any warning, McCLUSKEY leans back and hits MICHAEL squarely on the jaw with all his weight and strength.
MICHAEL groans, and lifts his hand to his jaw.
He looks at McCLUSKEY; everything goes spinning, and he falls to the ground."
Key Poses:
Firstly, with me on the left and my friend hussain on the right. In this screenshot, it shows anticipation as my friend hussain is going to swing his arm and punch on me at the left side.
Next, my friend hussain gather all his force and swing his punch on my face after the anticipation has occur previously.
After I was hit in the face by hussain punch, I turn to the other side as the force of his punch push me away, as well as my hand on the jaw showing the pain that was dealt with by hussain punch.
Next, I immediately falls backwards in a clockwise direction due to the powerful force of hussain punch and grabbing the wall as a support while my hand is still place at my jaw.
Immerse in pain, I lean on the wall as a support for a second, before I could not take the pain anymore.
Finally I lost the strength and balance due to the immerse pain, thus my hands let go off the wall failing on the ground and curling myself up looking in pain.
Exercise 1b
In this individual exercise, I am suppose to choose one of the soundfile given and act out corresponding to the chosen soundfile by focusing more on the movements. After consideration, I have decided to choose the soundfile "Harry Potter - How dare you". Below is the short clip that I have acted out with the help of my friend to record the scene for me.
"How dare you defy your masters!"
Key Poses:
This is the starting pose, before saying the dialouge.
Next, my chest leans backwards and my left leg move forward, where anticipation occur as my hand in ready to move forward. Angriness starts to show up at this time while tension is building up at this stage. At this time, I was saying "How dare..." before pointing out of finger.
At this stage, my body move foward with my right hand all the way out and my finger is pointing out, as well as my body slanting a little to the left side. At this timing, you can all the angriness is enrage out as in scolding someone, saying "How dare you...".
After that, my hands start to go down, and my right leg advance foward to take a step, while my body starts to move back to the original position. At this point, my chest and whole body ready to move forward, once again a little bit of tension is building up before saying the last part, I am saying "How dare you defy your..." in an angry manner at this time.
Lastly, my whole body moves forward, both hands at the back, saying one last word before ending off. At the last stage all the angriness is again shown out, as in showing me myself as the master, yet very angry as in someone has defy me. The last part says "How dare you defy your masters!"
Exercise 2
For the last exercise, we are going to apply what we have done previously on the exercise in Maya. I have selected the same soundfile and scene from the previous Exercise 1b and will be doing on the key poses and focus more on the movements using the references that I have done in Exercise 1b. Below is a playblast of what I have done in Maya using Exercise 1b as reference.
Reflection:
For this whole exercise, I have take a step into more than just animation, but also short filming and camera angle and different key poses. We finally get to go out and film instead of staying in the lab everytime. I feel that this exercise is very helpful for our final project, as it is largely related to it the camera angle, key poses and etc. However, in the end we still need to put them all back into animation. The key poses helps us a lot to analyse all the different key movements and postures that is done in the filming. I certainly hope that I can apply all these knowledges that I have learnt from this previous and current exercises into my final project and score good grades for it!
