Pre production
I have begun thinking about my animated character and what I hope to aim to achieve with the final product. I hope my outcome will be realistic with a cartoon edge, as this is a way I enjoy working.
I have started to think about a number of ‘one liners’ that I could use. I have narrowed them down to my favourite programmes and films, Blackadder, Starwars and Spiderman. From researching by watching key scenes from each one, I have decided that a line from Blackadder would be good for my character. I have chosen the line “I have a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel”. I settled for this line as I believe it is a witty one liner that could be adapted to many situations, opening up more prospects for my scene.
I have been thinking about my one line, and feel I need to whittle the situations down before I am to make any sense of what I am to do to continue. I thought a spider diagram would allow me to do this. Below is a spider diagram of what I have shortlisted

All of the above I believed would allow the witty content the one line offers. However i believed the jail was the best idea because you could easliy imagine someone saying this line in that situation. Now I have picked my one line, I can now begin to research facial expressions that I can use for future references. I think researching how somebodys mouth moves when saying the sentence will help me a great deal in the future. For this I have began taking photographs and recordings of someone saying my line.

From these photos I have begun taking more photographs as I think they will be a great reference in the future. This time my photographs will consentrate on eyebrow movements as these are an important part of the face when talking, expressing feelings and opinions.
