Extended Practice: Making Improvements

To make sure that it is clear that the third animation is about using your headlights, I created a small interluding scene where there is a sign that alerts both the audience and the protagonist that it is a must to use them! I really like this scene because I feel like it is one of the most realistic ones that I have made as I was able to use the exact font, and to me it looks familiar and I could associate it with my actual driving journeys. I added some movement with the camera so that it wasn't completely stationary and I think when I fit it into the animation, it will enhance the meaning more.

The next few scenes I made improvements to, were to make them darker. Hayley said that they could be brighter and I completely agreed, so here they are:

With this animation, when I darkened it, it was a little TOO dark. Therefore, I added some lamps in with some extra light layers and I really prefer this look. There is a subtle halo/glow around the lamps, but it does make the scene feel lighter which I love! 

Here I created some actual headlights for the van vehicle which emphasises the concept even further. By also making this scene darker, the traffic lights also look more bold and bright which is a good pop of colour.

And lastly this one.

Here are all the new scenes put together. I think that I am finished with this scene, but I will see if I need to make anymore changes after the final crit on Thursday!
