Illustration and Visual Narrative
Week 6
On this week we discussed for our next project with is called decisive moment. We have to create a poster based on a moment in time that changed a narrative for the better or worse. It could be a narrative from any published media like a movie or a book or even a video game. We are supposed to capture a unique fleeting moment that involves movement and action. Create a sophisticated background to the subject that interacts
both visually and psychologically with the subject in a
synergistically meaningful figure/ground relationship. Ms. Anis mentioned that it would be preferable , while choosing the moment, that we don't choose the decisive moment from the climax, but better if we choose another part that was impactful.

Week 6
On this week I did research for a decisive moment from any popular media. The decisive moment that I chose to design and animate is from a movie called, Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind. I watched this movie a long time ago and to this day, I still remember details of the movie because of how morbid it was for me. I took a screen grab of the movie that I wanted to present as the decisive moment.

Week 7
On this week my primary goal was to design the poster in a way that really captured the story behind this movie, but in a subtle manner.
To summarise what happens in this decisive moment is that the man (Joel) in this scene is hooked on to a machine that is used to clinically erase his memories of this relationship with Clementine.
This is where I began to sketch out this scene so I would know where to go from there.
Initially in these sketches I had added the features on his face but it felt too detailed for a poster like this.

After making the outline of the poster. I wanted to include a part of the movie that is quite popular.

I used this moment as a part of the background.

Week 8
After the final design of the poster is finalized I colored the poster. I forgot to take screen grabs of the process and this is the final outcome of the poster.

Week 9
After I got some feedback, from Mr. Kannan, I had to bring some changes to my poster, as he mentioned that most posters are usually portrait instead of landscape. He also showed me some ways in which I can improve / edit for my final poster gif.

Reflection
I really enjoyed the process of this project. I really liked how we got to choose so broadly in terms of different media. Moreover, I learned a lot in terms of illustrator and photoshop. The only thing I wish I had done was using a Wacom to sketch this out. It would have been really good practice for me. Although I am still quite new to it and it would have taken me forever to do this project. Other than that I am really happy with the way that my final animation turned out. I feel like it does represent the movie well without giving out too much.
