Assignment 11 - Color Narrative
Overview
In this assignment you will work in team and you will do the following: PART 1: you will create a color script for the three Acts (Act 1 - Act 2 - Act 3) of your favorite movie. PART 2: you will create three original artworks (illustration or photography work), one for each Act, using the three different color palettes.
As a Team:
Each team will decide a movie.
Each team can choose to create the color narrative Act 1, Act 2, Act 3 script together, as a team, or individually
Each team member will create, individually, Act 1 - Act 2 - Act 3 artworks with different color palettes
Each team member should discuss his/her project with the other team members
Each team member should provide feedback to the other team members and offer technical support if needed
Each team member should make a final peer' review about one of the other team members' work
Instructions
Case scenario: A movie production is looking for a team of designers/photographers to create the color narrative Act 1 - Act 2 - Act 3 for a movie that will be produced in 2022. As a team, you want to get the job and get a position in the industry. The goal for each team is creating various Act 1 - Act 2 - Act 3 color narrative designs (using illustration or photography works), and demonstrate the ability to use colors to describe Act 1 - Act 2 - Act 3.
Step 1: As a team, choose a movie you would like to use for this assignment
Step 2: Identify in the movie the First Act, the Second Act, the Third Act in your favorite film. Make yourself questions about the narrative of the movie (you don't have to write it). For example:
Who is/are the main characters, and why do we care about them?
Where and when does the story take place?
How do we learn what type of movie it is?
What is the inciting incident?
What or who is the antagonist?
Step 3: Create the color script (collage of images) for the three acts of the movie (like you did in module 10). You will have three columns ( one for each Act ) and four images for each column, with a total of 12 images.
You can use the images that you find online
You can create the collage in Photoshop or another application
You can create the same color script for the entire team or you can work independently
Step 4: Like you did in module 10 assignment, once that your collage file ready In Photoshop, apply the artistic filter CUT OUT and simplify all the images until you keep all the main shapes and you clearly see the colors palette.
Step 5: Create the main color palette for each one of the three Acts
Step 6: Each team member should create an original artwork for each one of the three Acts using the color palette created in the collage. Each team member will have three different artworks with three different color palettes
Step 7: When finished, SAVE the PSD for yourself
Step 8: Export your file as .JPG or .PNG. Minimum file size for the larger side 1500px
Note:
If you don't feel comfortable using a digital art software you can use another technique. Photography /drawing / paining, are welcome!
If you wish to improve your colorizing techniques in Adobe Photoshop, please, read and watch all the optional class material that is posted in the learning resources.
