Category: Design for Animation

This week marked the introduction to the unit, outlining the course structure, assessment components, and overall expectations. We discussed how film language and narration are used to communicate meaning and guide an audience’s understanding of a story.

The session introduced potential research topics and approaches, including environmental, social, educational, and industrial themes. We also looked at how research supports creative practice and helps give context to animation work.

The readings provided a historical and theoretical foundation for understanding animation as both a visual and narrative medium.
