Java Python SEQA 100

Exercise 07: Full Script. Thumbnails

Concept

In the profession, the expectations is that you may be creating visual stories from supplied scripts.  This would include drawing characters that aren’t your own, or working from a script. that you did not write. In this project students will experience working from a full mainstream professional script to develop visual interpretation in the form. of thumbnails.

INSTRUCTIONS

Students will create thumbnails for 6 consecutive-comic-pages.

•     Download the script. Exercise 07 BatmanGK_ 15 Script SEQA100.pdf

•     Read through the script. to breakdown panel layouts on the script. (for best results)

•     Create digest-size thumbnails for the 6 consecutive-comic-pages out of the script.

•     Thumbnails should be done in spreads: page 1, pages 2&3, pages 4&5, etc.

•     Page orientation should be portrait, vertical (not landscape, horizontal)

•     Digest size (5.5” x 8.5”); Download template: Thumbnail Template.pdf

•     Sharpie/felt-tip; Pencil is fine, but should be dark and clear (Digital pencils, optional)

•     Balloon placement should be clear

•     Number each dialog per page (each page starts with balloon #1)

•     Scan and darken for legibility

Things to Remember:

•     This project showcases your panel layout

•     Thumbnails are intended to be fast, not detailed

•     Don’t forget the other things learned in this class so far.

•     Clarity of image and action is always important.

•     Remember: give your characters something to do/explain with their hands.

•     This is your interpretation of the script, there is no wrong way, you make the decissions

•     DO NOT look at the original published comic. Any reference or similarity to professional designed panels and images will be an automatic failing grade for this assignment

Presentation:

1.    Scan (no phone camera photos) and clean up final art and SAVE as a multiple page PDF

2.    Projects should always be scanned, cleaned up

3.    Label your file: (student last name) Exercise_07_BatmanThumbnails.pdf example: Smith_ 07_BatmanThumbnails.pdf

4.    Post to Discussion Board for review in class

5.    Submit to SUBMISSIONS for grading

DUE: Class 16 (Review)*

DUE: Class 17 (Present)*

Discussion Board

If you are not attending class, you must articulate your presentation in writing on the discussion board (see grading criteria below).

Deadline Policy:

It is class policy that No Late Assignments will be accepted. A project submitted by the deadline to Discussion Board for in-class review, but not submitted electronically to SUBMISSIONS, will not be graded. Incomplete work can be submitted for partial grade if submitted by the deadline.

*NOTE: Completing less than 60% of the pages is an automatic failure
