2021 Bachelor of Screen Arts

 Today everything was finished and assembled, the C U B E was put together fully with all the artwork and decorative stuff on full display. The only problem I really had in this stage was cutting the artwork as I overestimated the sizes of some of the prints and had to cut some extra bits of the side for all the prints to fit on correctly the cube. I did have some issues with creasing for some of the artworks especially the main poster I made which kept creasing, however after a long struggle I was able to get it sorted out.  Original measurements which I made a little to big :/ Biggest brain Here are some images of everything all sorted and put together.  A lot of the items I used to decorate the top of the box were things I just had lying around my house pretty much, the only thing that I had to buy to decorate the top of the C U B E was the candles which I used slightly beforehand to give them a little bit more character instead of them, being perfectly straight and un...

 I've finally finished my sculpture and am pretty happy with how it turned out, however getting there was pretty difficult I guess. When I had finished my sculpture I had a problem with it not being able to stand and when it came out of the oven it was pretty clear why it was struggling to stand, my dumbass didn't full the skirt so there was just tinfoil keeping it together so naturally when it came out of the oven it struggled to stand and was on a bad lean. While the final version has a bit of a lean I managed to alleviate it slightly by breaking of her bottom legs and gluing them back on, while I used a crap ton of hot glue it fixed the issue pretty well. Over the holidays I wanna try experimenting a little bit more with sculpture and see how I go to try and improve my skills as I really enjoyed making the sculpture, even though my first attempt trying the clay was really bad as I don't know if my hands were just weak that day or I just got a bad batch of clay as it just...

  Above is the rough draft of how I envisioned the C U B E and layout of my pieces. Below is the new layout with all the final pieces all ready for printing.    A lot has changed with the final rendition of the work available, originally I was under the belief that there would be four sides for some reason? But seeing it nice and ready for printing with what I think is a solid layout is really nice a fulfilling.

A lot of the work on my board so far is rendered pretty thoroughly which isn't exactly the point of concept work. So I decided to do some more rough sketches of locations of what could be in the game. for one room I decided I wanted it to be worn and rough,  bedroom the other a somewhat abandoned room that's been left to decay.  With the bedroom its very rough especially with the colors as well I mainly just wanted to capture a rough design on what it could potentially look like. What I mainly focused on was what would be in the room the style of bed the manor would have and furniture adorning the room. With alot of the furniture I based it roughly on Victorian era designs with a focus on more of the lavish side of the era giving the bed a canopy and the room many items with gold/bronze trimming.  With most of the furniture, locals and props within my concept work I took a lot of inspiration from the Victorian period alongside the gothic side. One thing I noted in the Vic...

  I have started working on my sculpture and so far I'm pretty happy with the progression even if it is just in the early stages of development. I think I've translated the body of my character pretty well into the sculpt. One thing that I am struggling with is how I'm going to do the hands and the legs are annoying me a bit as the keep cracking which may not be as much as an issue as I think as I can hide it with the skirt.  To decorate my C U B E I'm going to be using wallpaper so I went searching for some. When I looked online  a lot of  wallpaper was really expensive 40-100$ just for 1 roll, even on trademe, so I went looking at some op shops in town.  I was looking for a specific type of wallpaper one that kinda had an old musty look to it and somewhat resembled my rough designs.

 Because my project is heavily inspire by slasher films and slasher inspired games I wanted to create a poster that fits in to the typical slasher style with some influence form the games that I'm using as influence from my project. Because my game is heavily inspired by Clock tower I looked at the film that inspired clock tower, The burning. The burning was a 1981 film directed by Tony maylam and its known for it infamous gory killings as well as the titular killer,  Cropsy, who goes around a summer camp murdering the fraternizing teens. I wanted to mainly look over the posters used to advertise the the film and what one is more effective than the other. The first poster is probably the most iconic the killer leans over the river the blood from the weapon turning the river into a flow of blood, The campers unaware as there canoes are entering the killers jaws. This poster references one of the most graphic scenes within the film as a group of campers are rowing in there ...
