Idea: turn illustrated journal break up story into an animated music video
Investigative process:
Build story- keep old or create new
Animatic-simple story based
Narrator? Artist figure
Research self portraits
Collaborate on music with Deb
frida Kahlo
Fill in gaps with new pieces
Chick pic-lit
Working Titles:
Beating a Dead Horse: When ya gonna give it up?
Artery: Healing a severed Emotional Vein
Get the Hell Over It: Female Self-Portraiture and the Resolution of Romantic Disillusionment
Questions:
How can I show emotional healing through a series of drawings?
How can I subvert romantic fiction trope of happy ending = man and marriage
How does changing scale effect the emotional impact of the original journal entry?
How does the story/emotional viewer engagement/authorial clarity change/develop when an artistic pieces moves from 2D static images in book format to 2D moving image in animation form.
I am investigating what happens when a story moves from static to moving images.
The viewer is active when flipping through a book, viewer is passive when viewing a movie
Timeline:
February:
Begin class, figure it out
March:
All journals back from US
Story outline decided
Meeting with Deb
Digitize pieces to be used and fix as needed
Create new pieces to fill in as needed
Music writing?
April:
Scoring/recording?
Animatic and assets creation
May:
Bring elements together
June:
Exhibition
Considerations:
Women talking about personal/romantic heartbreak, anger with men. Gender and specific responses from critic and public
How threatened do people get when women assert themselves in a relationship or after a break up
Aims: translate static illustrated journal entries into a cohesive story with moving, animated parts and music. Explore emotional trauma and healing.
Activities: collaborate with Deb Wattes on musical score/song
Digitize entries and refine product
Analyze current entries and identify gaps in story
Create story using elements of journals and develop new pieces to finish story
Contexts: project framed by history of female sekf- portraiture. Autobiographical comics graphic novels
How personal artistic self expression is accepted by others
How the scorned woman is treated by broader cultur
Project strategy: the project will be conducted in the spaces left in my schedule by 3D but ranking above film history and audio.
Ethics: release form musician/singer/songwriter for their participation
Developing biography: record key references with links on blog
Timeline: Gantt chart. Calendar
Where: work at home and school
Materials: personal art supplies, wacom cintiq and software st SIT
Method: illustrated journal entries in acrylic, water colour, pencil, pen, etc.

Would changing the scale of the pieces effect the emotional impact of the journal?
