2ND YEAR - SOAP OPERA PROJECT
FOR THIS PROJECT MY WHOLE CLASS WERE AIMING TO MAKE ONE MASSIVE SOAP OPERA, EACH DESIGNING A SHOP WITH RESIDENTIAL SPACE ABOVE. WE EACH PICKED A SHOP OUT OF A HAT - I GOT A SWEET SHOP. AS OUR SOAP OPERA WAS GOING TO BE BASED IN CARDIFF WE WENT ON A RECEE TO FIND A SUITABLE SHOP FRONT TO BASE OUR SHOP FRONT OFF OF. ONCE WE CHOSE A BUILDING WE TOOK A FRONT ON PHOTO OF THE FRONT AND TOOK ONE MEASUREMENT IN ORDER TO SCALE THE PHOTO UP LATER ON IN PHOTOSHOP.

FOR THIS PROJECT WE NEEDED TO MAKE THREE DIFFERENT MODELS; THE FACADE (BACKLOT SET), THE SHOP INTERIOR AND THE FLAT ABOVE THE SHOP.

THIS WAS THE FIRST UNI PROJECT WE DID USING AUTOCAD FOR OUR CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS. THIS PROJECT WAS PERFECT TO DO ON AUTOCAD AS THE DESIGN WAS QUITE SIMPLE AND SO GETTING USED TO USING CAD AND LEARNING NEW THINGS ON IT WAS REALLY FUN.
(ABOVE) STORYBOARDS
TO CREATE THESE I TOOK PHOTOS OF MY WHITE CARD MODELS AND ADDED SILHOUETTES ON TOP. A SIMPLE WAY TO DO STORYBOARDS BUT I MOSTLY WANTED TO CAPTURE THE SIZE AND POSITION OF THE SHOTS.
(ABOVE) VISUAL
THIS IS THE SHOP FRONT VISUAL. I TOOK A SCREENSHOT ON GOOGLE MAPS OF THE SHOP I CHOSE. THEN I WENT TO PHOTOSHOP AND ADDED MY SHOP FRONT CARD MODEL TO THE SCREENSHOT AND I THEN WENT ON TO RENDER THE SHOP FRONT.
