Process

Describe how you translated your concept into the outcome. How did you approach the exercise? What were the design choices? What challenges were encountered and how did you resolve them? What ideas did you generate and how did you refine or reject them? What approaches did you reject?

Considering that there are so many famous and great scenes within Disney or Dreaamworks films, it was so difficult to choose the best scenes out of them, since I had only two to four minutes. And even after I chose the best cuts, I had to think of the best way to present these. At first I came up with a bunch of ways and techniques that I’ve seen in many movies or drama. First was to mix in the scenes into a Disney song, and let the audio disappear from the scenes. I’ve seen this technique in a lot of introductory parts of dramas, where the movements of characters are matches with the beat from a single music. Another was to simply line up the best cuts without any music or words. Both approaches seemed very simple and easy to watch for the audience, but I thought this wouldn’t deliver the message, which is to move the audience and impart them with some epiphany in the end.

    So, I chose to incorporate both methods and mix them together.
