●Instructions
●Project 2
Week 5 (27/09/2022):
For this week, I got brief instruction and details of this project 2. Also we discussed about the concept statement and so on in session. After the session, we're required to explore more about own project. So I tried to research again about the dream and it story line as contemporary art.
So for this week, I just started composing the e-book for this project 2 and thinking about the pitch bible.
First of all, I prepared the top page, table of content, log line, target audience, synopsis, character design and concept art parts in Adobe Illustrator (some script was not concluded).

●Feedback
Week 5 :
General feedback
We could focus on own animation details such as concept statement and so on. It's good time for us to think about more clearly and explore the image as well. I also could research about the dream section for creating dream animation.
Specific feedback
I can continue with the storyboard with some sketches I draw before. After this I also need to explore the script for project 2 in pitch bible.
Week 6 :
General feedback
We could understand how to compose the pitch bible more and learn how to write down the script part. It's not so difficult than I expected, so I'll try my best and possible to explore more and more again. Just because for my animation, is dream scene, so there's not enough dialog and so on, but I'll try to write down about the details of scene of dream though.
Specific feedback
I can do with the character design and concept art.
Week 7 :
General feedback
In this week, I tried to create the product method page. After that, I just uploaded it in FLIPHTML5. Also I started creating animation for final project.
Specific feedback
I can continue with the pitch bible, but I also can fix the font of it to express the dream mood such as distort.

This experience, I could know how to create the pitch bible in order to show clear about the animation. I could enjoy creating e-book design as well. I really liked this project to create the storyboard with own idea and fix, improve it with visible improvement.
Observation :
I could learn how attract the people who watch this animation with script and design. It's really important to prepare the correct words for getting attention.
Findings :
For the website, FLIPHTML5, I noticed that I can create the e-book with swiping the pages.

Dream analysis by professional counsellors The art of listening to the voice of the heart.
The author is a professional counsellor and has a very good ability to read people's psychology.
The author has also studied the principles of dreaming in depth, so the book contains many examples and is easy to understand and carefully explained. The book describes the mechanisms of dreaming in detail, so it is a substantial book for those who want to study psychology and learn about the depths of the human psyche.
Whether or not you believe in dream reading, the book is interesting enough to be used as a book.
Do-it-yourself dream analysis written by a professional counsellor Messages from Higher Self.
This book is suitable for those who want to deepen their understanding of dream analysis.
It is written by a professional counsellor, and because dream analysis is carried out from a psychological aspect, it is no longer confined to the category of fortune-telling, but I felt that the results of the analysis were rational and convincing.
The book also contains easy-to-understand explanations and detailed procedures so that even beginners can pick up the book and analyse it on their own.
Dreams usually have some meaning because we see them unconsciously...
It is a good book that makes you think that the opportunity to turn your life around is right beside you.
Paprika (2006).
Japanese animation depicting the activities of Paprika, who enters people's dreams.
Based on the novel of the same name by Yasutaka Tsutsui, the feature-length animated film Paprika was directed by Satoshi Kon, who gained critical acclaim for such films as Millennium Actress. The film was much talked about for its unique animation imagery and stunning depiction of a dream world.
The film depicts the defence of the heroine, Atsuko Chiba, or Paprika, against a criminal who misuses a special device that allows her to share dreams with others. Paprika was voiced by Megumi Hayashibara, an immensely popular voice in the animation world. The film has won numerous awards at national and international film festivals, including the 35th Montreal New Cinema Festival.
I was dizzy with the extremely colourful and mysterious pictures and the crazy, unintelligible dialogue. Even knowing the provocative, socially and humanly insane style of the author of the original work, Yasutaka Tsutsui, I was stunned by the images and the floating music. Like the original author, I wonder what the hell is going on in the mind of director Satoshi Kon, who made this film? (compliment). There are plenty of stories about entering other people's dreams or depicting virtual worlds, but I think this film stands out in the sense that it is a crazy film that makes the most of the strengths of animation, which is impossible to achieve. Even if there are a lot of difficult and unintelligible scenes, anything is possible if it is a dream. There is no back and forth in time, such as past or future, no physical or spatial constraints such as the size of objects or the perspective of distance, and even if things don't add up, it's understandable if you think of it as a dream. Desires that cannot be fulfilled in the real world are projected into the dream, and several people's dreams intersect. Eventually, the boundary between reality and dreams collapses, and the dreams erode reality. I liked the strange view of the world. The dream you can't get out of might be called a labyrinth. It was interesting, but I guess it's a love it or hate it kind of thing...
Alice in Wonderland (1953).
Disney animation about the adventures of a young girl lost in a strange land.
Animated film produced by Walt Disney Productions, based on the children's novel Alice in Wonderland by British author Lewis Carroll.
It is a bored mid-afternoon. Alice sees a white rabbit in a waistcoat and while chasing it, she falls down a deep hole.
There she finds a strange world. Alice's body expands and contracts, she meets the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and other strange characters, and she celebrates "a day that is not her birthday". In the course of these surreal adventures, Alice offends the tyrant Queen of Hearts. ......
The quirky characters that appear one after the other brighten up this strange and crazy Wonderland, which is out of the ordinary in every corner of the world. What will happen to Alice? A film for adults too!
