I have demonstrated aesthetic awareness in my work throughout my FMP, for example, I have shown this when designing my characters, I had to think a lot about how they look and what every design choice means and what effect that has. In particular, picking the colours required me to think aesthetically because they needed to look good on the character and help show something about them, like the contrast of warm and cold colours on my characters Audrey and Apollo, helps them to stand apart and connotes meaning to the colour; Apollo is mainly a pastel blue, the blue makes him more masculine and look older than Audrey but the pastel tone helps soften him, helping build his image of a young celebrity. I also had to think aesthetically when I was conducting research on how I could use colour and shading in my project, my experiments made me think more critically about how colours and aesthetic choices can add meaning to an illustration. Additionally, I had to think carefully about how things would look when writing my shot list, I wanted a detailed plan of how the storyboards would look like and spent a lot of time thinking about the layout and composition of a shot and how that could affect an audience’s viewing experience of the film. Like how the scene I’ve planned up to ends with a long shot, getting further and further away from the character focus to show they have disconnected themselves from the real world and to help the viewer see the extent of the place they are in.
