Perspective
Week One and Two:
Practicing with one point, two point, and three-point perspective.
With one-point the only thing that changes is the depth, and every line points towards one vanishing point on the horizon line.
One point shows how things appear to get smaller as they get further and further away.
With two-point the width and the depth both change/get distorted. This one has 2 different vanishing points on the horizon line.
Two point shows us an object in the most realistic view, its the perspective that best shows us how we see items.
Advanced perspective or three-point, the height depth and width all change. This is how you can make shadows using the importance of light.
As well as this we experimented with different shapes such as cylinders and stairs. Showing how metal cans can be drawn in perspective.

Week three: Film posters
Sweeney Todd theatre poster:
Project Brief:
Create 40 thumbnail film posters based of a theatre production. They should be approximately 60mm in height, then pick 5 designs to refine at the same scale, the pick a final design to refine further.
The theatre production I chose: Sweeney Todd.

Research: I researched past posters of different Sweeney Todd productions, as well as researching the themes of the production.
Themes and imagery:
- the barber knife
- blood
- meat pies
- barber poles
Colour schemes:
- red
-black
-white
-blue (barber poles)

Starter ideas:
I started with the initial idea to create my poster around the main themes of the theatre production, using items that are seen most often such as the barber knife, pie, barber poles and blood.
Development:
As I developed my 40 thumbnails I was starting to get a real idea of what I planned to go for. I wanted to include as many aspects from the theatre production as I could, the colour scheme was set in place around this point (as a sketched them all first then coloured after).
Refined ideas:
