[20/03/2019] Creating my Initial Rough Draft.

After creating all of my detailed sketch versions of the storyboards along with the other elements needed to create my initial draft such as background elements and a logo, I got to work on my rough draft. This process of editing and creating art to be used within the video took around 6 hours and 30 minutes, as I was working on it all day and took time in-between to rest my wrist and have a lunch break.

I am very proud with the result of my first finished draft as it gives a very good idea of what the final product will look like using this rough draft as my reference for sound and visuals. I plan to put together a focus group in order to gather feedback from my initial rough draft to see if they have questions, comments or concerns about the rough draft and gathering information on areas I could improve on whilst making the final product. I believe that there are quite a few areas that I could improve on my video in different places, but as I am my own worst critic, I wanted to gather feedback from a large audience. From whatever feedback I receive, I will make notes in a follow up post and be sure to make changes as appropriate.

My rough draft is in the very early stages, no backgrounds being sketched out as of yet and so I will dedicate a specific period of time to the backgrounds in order to fully achieve the final look I have in mind. I have decided on a clean, lineless art style that is very simple to make as it requires less time and detail work to achieve the overall shape. Below I have placed the full first rough draft of my project. I will have a focus group watch and give feedback from this video and make notes on what parts they liked or didn't like and how I could change these things in the future when going forward.
