DSDN 101 April Hand In 2 second Clip

My video clip showing the sort of style I want to have in my final video. The real world being in black and white with the imaginative visuals in colour to emphasise them as being more creative.

DSDN 101 April Hand In Story Board


In my video I want to show myself walking down the street and as I see things my imagination takes over and starts changing things in front of me. These changes are not just visual however and act as if they were real.

DSDN 101 April Hand In Mind Map


With my degree being Media Design minoring in Computer Science and my goal to become a Game Designer
focusing my mind map was relatively easy. What I really wanted to focus on was the idea of escapism as having
no limits or restrictions is something that really appeals to me. Therefore my video will be based on the idea of
"Design is Escapism."

Zac Bird DSDN101 P1 Typography

My typeface dubbed "Modern Decay" is based on the quote " The disease that is modernism" from the Helvetica documentary. I liked the idea of a font that was falling to pieces from decay and started with one that I felt looked fairly modern. The colours I chose reflect disease in my mind and enhance that sense.

The Axo drawing shows the motion of the camera lenz extending as it is turned on. I wanted to show the shutter opening at the same rate as I noticed occurs after watching the motion a few times.

My "Sketch" drawing was based on the negative drawing which used smudging pencil shavings to get a fill effect and masking off areas to get a clean sharp edge.

Zac Bird DSDN101 P1 Section

My section was of a steel craft knife focusing in on the screw device which slides the blade and holds the whole thing together making it a very central and important part.
