100 Word Statement On Final Product

The overall theme of the movie is stars and space. The model appears similar to that of a star constellation, where many small parts make up one large gathering. The light emitting from the centre of the model symbolises in a scaled version the brightness of a star. The music is calm and relaxing, symbolising how we feel when we stargaze, how everything in the sky seems so peaceful. The music also links to the soft movements contained in the movie. The font used for the title is precisely designed in a firm format; similar to the aesthetics of the model, how each and every piece had to be perfectly centred and in it's correct place.

Design Ideas And Intentions As Of Now

Animation ideas:
The main base area would be hovering mid-air. The camera flies in from a distance and begins to circle the base, beginning to zoom in on the base whilst circling. As the camera circles and passes, the circular beams will fly out and away. The camera will do approximately one lap around the base then flies into one of the gaps between the octagonal shapes. While it flies into the gap a bright light appears and the camera fades out.

Effects:
The background will be of space, most likely lightly coloured like a sunrise or sunset. Placement of lights will be either coming from the centre of various octagons or through various gaps between the octagons. The textures used are a dark purple and grey colour on the octagons and on the circular beams a lightly coloured plaster.
