How to design a set for an animated film One of the most important aspects of any set in animation is the fact that it should work as a stage for the characters and story, as well as any action that takes place within it. When you look back at some of the classic feature film animations, you'll notice that each frame is designed so that it contains the best composition to tell the story. Your set design should be no different: it should first and foremost be designed for the camera and story. I find the easiest way to begin is to imagine a scene or actual shot from the final film with a strong story point, and stage it in the clearest way possible. Afterwards, you can reverse engineer the actual design of the set and props. As a visual development artist, a large part of the job is being able to visualise what the film could look like aesthetically, using techniques such as lighting, texture and stylisation to get that vision across. Another big consideration that relates spec...

With this in mind, we’re going to rely on the experience and knowledge of Colin Gibson (Mad Max: Fury Road), Grant Major (Lord of the Rings: Return of the King), Rick Carter (Star Wars: The Force Awakens), and the legendary Stuart Craig (Harry Potter Series). Through each one of these Academy Award-winning Production Designers, we’ll learn what we need to do to take our productions to the next level. What Is Production Design? Production design is the process of developing and creating the “look” of a film or video en...

For inquiry /suggestion plz comment below visit our political blog  https://raiyaykidahi.blogspot.com Content analysis is a research tool used to determine the presence of certain words, themes, or concepts within some given qualitative data (i.e. text). Using content analysis, researchers can quantify and analyze the presence, meanings and relationships of such certain words, themes, or concepts. Content analysis is a research technique used to make replicable and valid inferences by interpreting and coding textual material. By systematically evaluating texts (e.g., documents, oral communication, and graphics), qualitative data can be converted into quantitative data. Three different definition of content analysis are provided below. Definition 1: “Any technique for making inferences by systematically and objectively identifying special characteristics of messages.” (from Holsti, 1968) Definition 2: “An interpretive and naturalistic approach. It is both observational and narrativ...

Inductive reasoning  is a logical process in which multiple premises, all believed true or found true most of the time, are combined to obtain a specific conclusion.  Inductive reasoning  is often used in applications that involve prediction, forecasting, or behavior. https://study.com/academy/lesson/deductive-reasoning-examples-definition-quiz.html Deductive  Approach ( Deductive  Reasoning) A  deductive  approach is concerned with “developing a hypothesis (or hypotheses) based on existing  theory , and then designing a research strategy to test the hypothesis”[1] It has been stated that “ deductive  means reasoning from the particular to the general. https://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/inductive-reasoning The main difference between inductive and deductive approaches to research is that whilst a deductive approach is aimed and testing theory, an inductive approach is concerned with the generation of new theory emerging ...

SURVEY  to ask (many people) a question or a series of questions in order to gather information about what most people do or think about something.  A survey is used to know or get the opinions of a large group of people about a particular topic or issue. 5. STEPS IN CONDUCTING A SURVEY • ask a number of questions, all related to the issue, to find answers. • select a sample • administer the questions to each samples • analyze the responses of the samples • draw conclusions about the opinions of the sample • generalize to the population from which the sample was selected. 6. CHARACTERISTICS OF A SURVEY 1. Information is collected from a group of people 2. The main way in which the information is collected is through asking questions 3. Information is collected from a sample rather than from every member of the population. 11. STEPS IN CONDUCTIN G A SURVEY Steps in Conducting the Survey Method 12. 1. DEFINING THE PROBLEM What exactly do you want to know? We have to clearly define ...

Hypothesis definition  The word hypothesis is a combination of two words hypo+thesis Hypo mean tentative or subject to verification and thesis means statement about solution of a problem  Therefore hypothesis is a tentative statement about the relationship between teo or more variables  it is a specific testable statement/ prediction  about what you expect to happen in a study. Elements of a Good Hypothesis 1:it is based on your research Topic. 2:It can be tested through instrument you design for your study 3: it must include the independent and dependent variables Hypothesis should begin with complete background research on your topic. After literature review start thinking about possible questions that are still not answered through literature review. In journal articles many authors suggest questions in discussion section that are still need to be explored. NATURE OF HYPOTHESIS  1: conceptual elements in the framework a...

VARIABLES متغیر (غیر مستقل( نام سے ہی ظاہر ہے متغیر ہر اس تصور خیال یا چیز کو کہتے ہیں جس کو ماپا جا سکے اور وہ مختلف قدریں بھی اپنا سکتا ہو variable is an image concept or perception that is capable of measurement and capable of taking different values or  یا متغیر وہ کچھ بھی ہے جس کی مقدار یا معیار بدلتا ہو اور کسی طرح اسکی اکائیوں کی پیمائش بھی ہو سکتی ہو۔ہر تحقیق کار کی تحقیق کا انحصار متغیر پر ہوتا ہے۔ متغیر اس خصوصیت کو کہتے صفت یا وصف کہتے جو کسی فرد، ادارے ، نظام یاماحول کی ہو جو آپکی تحقیق کی دلچسپی کا مرکز ہو۔یعنی آپ اگر کسی فرد پر تحقیق کر رہے ہیں اسکی تخلیقی صلاحیت پر تحقیق کر رہے ہیں تو آپکیئے اسکے بنائے فن پارے ان فن پاروں کی قدر ان کا معیار یہ سب متغیر کہلائے گا۔ a variable is anything that has quantity or quality that varies and could be measure with any unit of measurement every research project based upon variables. a variable is a characteristic or attribute of an individual, organisation, group,system or the environment that is of interest in a r...

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Research methodology is basically a process to find out the answers of a problem on specific issue or problem that we consider as a research problem .so in research methodology researchers use different methods or criteria for solving a research problem . therefore research methodology is a specific procedure or technique that is used by social scientists or researchers for solving research problems.  There is a certain process to be followed to get the accurate results. تحقیقی طریقے بنیادی طور پر کسی مخصوص سوال مسلئے کا جواب یا حل نکالنے کے مخصوص طریقوں سے مراد لیئے جاتے ہیں۔ تحقیق کار مختلف قواعد و طریق کار اپناتے ہیں کسی بھی تحقیقی مسلئے کو حل کرنے کیلئے۔  یعنی تحقیقی طریق اس مخصوص طریقہ کار یاتکنیک کو کہتے ہیں جو سماجی مسائل کےسائنسدان یا تحقیق کارتحقیقی مسائل کے حل کیلئے اپناتے ہیں۔ METHODOLOGY    SURVEY RESEARCH  While writing a research paper we need to follow a specific method to achieve our basic goals or objective of rese...

Research and social Research research is the process through which we identify the problems their root cause and suggest solutions for it. in social research we carefully study a particular matter ,issue, concern or a problem  that is totally related to the people and societies so that we can design products and services that cater the need of the people. so basically social research is an important source of knowledge about known problems of a society and discovers unknown facts about them so we can say that social research provides updated proved authentic and useful information to the researchers and this knowledge is then used to serve the human beings. Research is thus an original contribution to the existing body of knowledge making for its advancement. so therefore we got two basic results of any research confirmation of and already existing theory or we provide a new theory to the world. this is the main process we need to follow in order to do a good research on any...
