What are my development objectives?
I want to further develop my drawing skills and increase my all round sketching abilities.
Increase my animation expertise by expand my knowledge of the history of animation
Set ongoing targets for myself, so that I remain well ahead of my work and I can prepare for later lessons.
Priorities
My most recent priorities have been the completion of my Ideology and representation essay which I have now submitted and the editing of my Narrative/ Non Narrative Animation which will be screened tomorrow for the first time.
Remaining on top of my work is always a top priority as it allows me to produce work of a high standard.
Furthering my drawing skills and widening my animation knowledge is an ongoing development and so is not a major priority at the moment.
What activities do I need to undertake to achieve my objectives?
Studying regularly by taking trips to the library means that I can remain ahead of my work, and means that I can complete any new work before it becomes urgent.
What support/ resources do I need to achieve my objectives
When it comes to writing essays I find that the best resource online that I have been regularly using is the Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy. This helped me to research about Michael Freedon, Slavoj Zizek, and Karl Marx when writing my essay on Ideology and representation.
Additional resources that I have been using are the variety of animation programs on the IMac's in the Electric Press. These include such programs as Flash, Toomboom and After Effects. This software allows me to design and create my own animations with sound and effects.
Target dates/Actual dates for achieving my objectives
My calendar is forever changing as I never know when I am next going to receive work and with it a new deadline to meet. However with my own personal objectives the dates I intend to complete them are a lot looser then one day. My knowledge of animation is forever growing and I believe that you never truly stop learning knew things even if you've been studying for many years.
My animation hand in is on Wednesday so all my attention now lies on getting that complete, and edited ready for its screening. Once complete I will upload the animation onto the blog so that its available for all to see.
