4. Define the four major story elements of a short animated film discussed in class. Conflict, orchestration of characters, premise, and twist.
5. Draw boxes in 1 point and 2 point perspective. Label horizon line and vanishing point(s). Outline boxes in thicker pencil lines.
6. Create a postcard in Photoshop. I will give specific dimensions. The project has to have the correct print resolution. I will give you the theme and you will search for the images on google. Images need to be the correct size. If images are pixelated or blown up I will take points off. If you need to review this subject, please refer the to the tutorial that was given in class.
