Thesis Proposal

Week 6 -10

 

I spent the rest of my time doing research with a lot of reading. I learned a lot about animation and movies. While researching the genre, I got to know a lot of professionals with great ideas and arguments. However, there is no end to this journey, because in the next period I will try to analyse and enrich my chosen topic with personal conversations. From what I have learned, I think that animation opens huge possibilities in the future. We’ve treated animation a little unfairly so far. In my thesis, I would like to analyse the situation related to the genre with all its positives and negatives and discuss how different animations affect us.

Week 3

Developing a Research Topic

A few thoughts that concern me about the topic

Cinematic

to speak the language of cinema

looking for a cinematic quality in animation or VFX

to push the boundaries between genres

the question of Genre in the animated film

Special Visual Effects in Film

Imagination plays a big role from the beginning of the creative process. Before a work is created, it must be represented in the mind. This happens throughout the filmmaking process.Then comes the script to provide key frameworks for the film’s development. It is a revelation to register this with our eyes for the first time. Once production begins, all of this will become a reality.

6 Special Visual Effects in Film

Week 2

Exploring potential topics

In my first thesis, I analyzed the relationship between films and dreams. I relied on the experience of the filmmakers and combined it with extensive research.

The length of the thesis was limited to 1500 words, so although the topic attracted my attention, there were definitely parts that I could not discuss sufficiently due to the given length.

I would like to edit these parts in my current thesis.

I found the works of film director  Balázs Simon fascinating, which my teacher introduced me to during the previous semester.

I found the works of film director  Balázs Simon fascinating, which my teacher introduced me to during the previous semester.

His animation works are excellent in terms of technical solutions, lighting effects, narrative, originality, colors and musical background.

I felt his work was so close to my own style that I thought would like to learn as much as possible about his work.

I googled him and to my surprise he agreed to an interview.

I interviewed the award-winning director  Balazs Simon on 25.04.2023 in London.

I want to incorporate what I heard into my current thesis, what he said makes the special world we call digital art even more attractive to me.
