Context of Practise 3: Initial Research and Presentation

 Context of Practise 3
Initial Research and Presentation

• Over the summer:
• I started research into areas of animation which I would possibly enjoy specialising in. These are:
• 2D Animation
• Concept Art
• I decided to combine these specialisms for COP and explore it within video games. This would be following on from my research question last year, which was looking into creating atmosphere in 2D and 2.5D video games. This year, I want to expand on this, mainly focusing on the animation part - as opposed to character design analysis and use of colour, lighting and mood to create atmosphere. 
• To prepare for this research, I decided to look into Unity 2D and try to understand the basics of this, followed by research into the creation of 2D video games, how animation is used in video games and how this expresses the narrative. My main focus will be how animation impacts the creation of a believable world.
• Here is the presentation of my initial research:
