Today we will continue to study the layout and make some changes to the areas that needed adjustment last time.
Week 6
This week I started thinking about the personalities of my characters. One has to think about who they are, where they are, what they are doing or where they are going, why they are doing it and how they are going to achieve their goals.

I created a preves of my story in Maya
Week 4
This week I drew the first version of my storyboard.
Week 3

Week 2
This week’s task is to come up with a story you want to create. This is my rough story.
This story is told about me and my parents going to pay tribute to my grandfather on the Qingming Festival. This cemetery is built on a hill, and Grandpa’s tombstone is at the top of the hill, so we need to climb to the top of the hill. At the beginning of the story, because of the distance, I was impatient and did not understand. During the climb, my mind changed. I saw other person’s stories on their tombstones, and something slowly dawned on me. Finally, we came to the top of the mountain, and my parents did some sacrificial activities, and I did as well. After doing this, I feel I have grown up and become more mature. I turned around and saw a beautiful view.
Week 1
Element of Mise-en-scene
Mise-en-scene is the art of stage design and placement of actors in a play or film production, and includes storyboarding, visual themes, cinematography, and the director’s narrative techniques.
Lead the viewer to respond to your work.
Rule of Thirds: Divide the image into thirds; the eye is drawn to the intersections. Place your subject at these intersections.
The horizon should be located at the top or bottom two-thirds of the frame.
