Class 3 

Discussed Chapter 3 and when over Text, Diagrams and Images from the book.

Watched last part of JAWS and discussed the 3 act structure as it is used in the movie scenes. Also discussed the characters in relation to the Monomyth. Hooper (scientist) and Quin (captain of Orca) enter as the supernatural aid/helpers. The hero is the chief of police - Brody. He at first refuses to become the hero several times, but finally when his child is involved he goes to Quin for aid. He overcomes his fear of the water to enter the new world- the sea. The boat becomes the new battleground between the men and the shark. They swap war stories and scars and sing together on the boat marking the hero becoming more accustomed to his new world. Then they all face death as the shark attacks the ship over and over. Finally Brody is left alone for the final battle with the shark and makes it explode. In the end he overcomes his fear of water and the sea in the final scene where they paddle to shore.

Went over how to use ToonBoom StoryBoard Pro. How to create layers and shapes for quick backgrounds. How to add images instead of drawing. Goto storyboard - add shot to add more shots. Panels are viewed at bottom of page.

Went over Flash CS3 and how to use for storyboards as compared to ToonBoom. Choose actionscript 3 for a new file. Add new frames with F6 - that creates a keyframe which makes your shot. Then layers can be added to create the shot. 

Went over the basics of drawing in photoshop to use as a medium for creating storyboards.  

Using google sketchup to create models and also download models from web for background or architecture scenes, also has basic people.
