This module was set out to teach students how to make a good narrative and interpretation of situations and events by making sketches.
As part of this module students were given a short video to watch and carefully analyse. They were later asked to interpret scenes they thought to be vital into a comic book sketch.
This was a little hard for some of us though since we did not know how to go about drawing postures of the characters for various scenes.
Fortunately, this issue was tackle in a corresponding module so things became easier and we all came out with individual work.
We also learnt how to ink and how it is mostly applied in comic books and their importance. This technique could be quite tricky from my understanding but with practice, you can get it right. We also applied this technique in our two other related animation modules.
Disadvantages
I would not necessarily call these disadvantages but rather set backs. The first was that a lot of time was not spent on this, though there was not much work to do concerning this and when compared to the other tasks was quite easier, it would have been good to have more time to practice more and also come out with our own story boards preferably comic books.
It was also a little difficult to pin point important scenes for this task since every part of the story seemed to be vital.
Advantages
The advantage with this was that it was informative, since research was done on new techniques such as inking.
It was also fun and gave a platform for creativity.
It helped some of us get more familiar with body proportions, structures, postures and forms.
We were able to apply other elements learnt from other modules such as perspective drawing to scenes which were in a room.
In a total this module was a fun and creative as well as very educative module which provided much information which helped in other related modules.
