Week 2 - Blocking

Exercise 1a

The movie scene that our group chose was 'Dawn of the Dead'.

Brief description of what we were supposed to do:
The zombie clutches at the woman. It bites at her neck and arm. She screams with terror. She tries to pull away, but the creature holds her. It bites again. A trooper comes up from behind and tries to wrestle the creature away.

The first key pose was the girl walking alone and looking out for zombies.
She was looking all around her to ensure that there are no zombies approaching her.

Second key pose was when she realized that there was a zombie
approaching towards her so she turned her head slightly to the right
and look with the corner of her eyes.

When she saw someone in blue approaching her, she turned her head fully
and shout as she was shocked to see the zombie behind her.
The movement of the hair to shows that she tried running away
but was not able to as the zombie was too fast.

The zombie caught her and and grabbed her by the neck.
She could not move as she was to shock and weak.
The zombie then attacked her and bite her neck.
She struggled to avoid being bitten.

A trooper came running from behind and pulled the zombie away from the woman.

Exercise 1b

The sound file that I chose for this exercise is 'Harry Potter- No' and this the reference video that I made.

Exercise 2



Reflection:
This is the final outcome of Exercise 2. With the help of Mr. Douglas, I realised the mistakes that I did. For example, the hands look better moving up and down rather than turning one whole round. These are the main keyposes for the soundfile. I used step tangents throughout the short animation so that the keyposes are clearer.I paid attention at the reference and whenever I was unsure of the poses, I will try to move my body so that it is easier to visualise.
