11 Lesson 2 - Crash Course Composition Part 5 - Practice & Improvement

P11 - 00:00 

hello and welcome to your second practice and improvement. And now we're going to continue doing this week of work in black and white so that we can build on Top of what we learned last week. 

P11 - 00:14学习上节课的黑白阈值。 

And similar to last week, we're going to do a bit of a quiz as well. You'll be able to find all the answers included in your week to deliverables. 

P11 - 00:21上周要传递的信息。 

So I want you to look at some of the films i've listed out, and they'll be in your worksheet, but I'm going to put them up here really quickly, so you can get a sneak peek about what's going to come and hear the shots that i'd like you to look at. 

P11 - 00:34我喜欢让你看场景的。 

And I want you to tell me what composition is it? What ratio or ratios plural can you find? 

P11 - 00:41什么样的横宽比。 

Then I would like you to do a black and white study in the same three color method that we did for last week.  

P11 - 00:48黑白灰阈值。 

So let's quickly do one together. So you have an example. this shot is from the movie pride and prejudice. One of my favorite movies, by the way. 

P11 - 00:58《傲慢与偏见》的剧照。 

And it would be classified as an arrival shot. 

P11 - 01:03这是抵达场景。 

This is because the scene is mostly environment based and its purpose is to show off the gorgeous location that the character is surrounded by. You can tell this without even knowing the movie, because the character is just so much smaller compared to the environment. 

P11 - 01:18角色和环境比起来差距太大。 

This scene is obviously focused on the environment and not the character.  

P11 - 01:22场景专注环境和角色。 

When it comes to ratios, I immediately single out the horizon line, which is at a kind of a 1/3 2/3, roughly there. I tried to find a vertical alignment too. And our main character rests also on a very rough 1/3, 2/3, kind of like that. 

P11 - 01:41角色也是在三分线。 

So the dotted line, the blue dotted line is where the character is. But the blue line is kind of more accurate to wear 1/3. 2/3 would actually be. 

P11 - 01:48蓝线大概的位置也是三分二分的。 

now in the actual movie, this scene would be moving. so she would be able to sit perfectly on that 1/3 2/3rd line. 

P11 - 01:58角色在二分三分线。 

If the shot were just from like a few seconds later. So she really is very well suited to be in the one third 2/3 position. 

P11 - 02:08三分二的比例。 

So those are the different ratios that I find in the movie. Now I would create a grayscale study and take it into the three values. 

P11 - 02:15黑白灰三种阈值。 

So I continue to learn how to differentiate my black and white values. 

P11 - 02:18如何区分黑白阈值。 

And as a bonus, this isn't required, but at least you should think about it. 

P11 - 02:23至少好好考虑下。 

If I had to choose between local value and shadow value, this piece would be mainly based on shadow values. So Chiaroscuro. 

P11 - 02:31局部N阈值光影C阈值，选后者。 

Again, optional. But it would be very happy if you did it, just saying, you know, all right, so those are the five film studies that would be item number one, which is the stuff. 

P11 - 02:46这就是元素一。 

The second part is to create some compositions of your own. 

P11 - 02:50第二创建一些合成。 

And it's time to get really creative. So I'm gonna have to choose between two stories, little red riding hood or Cinderella, 

P11 - 02:59小红帽和灰姑娘。 

if you don't know either of these two stories there very famous. And so they're very easy to Google. 

P11 - 03:03著名的故事很容易检测到。 

And there are great classic stories and you ll enjoy them and finish it in 10 minutes or less.  

P11 - 03:08可以在10分钟或更少时间完成。 

This is because these two stories have very easy to recognize story beats. 

P11 - 03:14两个故事需要故事情节。 

And you're going to recreate the five compositions we talked about in this module, yourself. 

P11 - 03:17重新创建五个合成。 

again in black and white, 

P11 - 03:21用黑白图来创建。 

for example. Now let me just quickly whip up a few that you know story beats which are going to be very rushed. 

P11 - 03:29故事情节非常的仓促。 

But let's, for example, take in little red riding hood. The arrival shot could be little red coming to grandma's house. 

P11 - 03:37小红帽来到外婆家。 

Again. This is all meant to be on the much more simple side that would I expect your homework to be, but regardless the next shot the big versus small is when the wolf. 

P11 - 03:47大对小，大灰狼和小红帽。 

first meets a little red and we see how big he is. And then the altarpiece composition as an example could be the pretty flower that red wants to go and pick. 

P11 - 03:59小红帽愿意采摘花朵。 

Another hiding from and spying on is when red is looking at the wolf through the door. 

P11 - 04:03小红帽透过门框见狐狸冒充外婆。 

And she sees him kind of just resting in the bed acting as a grandma.  

P11 - 04:09扮演成外婆的样子。 

And then finally the close up is red horrified face before she gets eaten by the wolf. 

P11 - 04:16被狼吃掉前，特写恐惧的表情。 

This is just an example of what these five different compositions could be within a single story. 

P11 - 04:24单一故事中五个部分。 

There is all kinds of different story beats that you can choose from. 

P11 - 04:28你可以从不同故事中选择的环节。 

This is not the one way to do it. The story is super simple, but that allows for so much more creativity. 

P11 - 04:33非常简单但是放置很多的创造力。 

So I really want you to go into it and kind of figure out your own compositions and do it in two game. Well, please a much better version than this. 

P11 - 04:43可以做更好的场景。 

When you draw these, think about where you want your ratio lines to be. 

P11 - 04:45考虑下横宽比。 

And because this exercise is mainly based on composition, I do want you to incorporate some line art as well. 

P11 - 04:54融入一些艺术线。 

So that we can actually tell what is happening in your scenes. 

P11 - 04:57分辨清楚场景中发生什么。 

And use only three values of black and white to back yourself up. 

P11 - 05:02用黑白灰阈值。 

So I expect a polish more similar to a level of your typical black and white studies. 

P11 - 05:07精炼黑白阈值的学习。 

And if you feel ambitious, you can make your pieces much more finished and polished. 

P11 - 05:13若是有野心，可以让技术更精炼。 

These compositions should be understandable above all else, and feel like something that you could actually turn into an art director, try to make some really crazy compositions. 

P11 - 05:22尽量的去做一些艺术合成。 

I want you to really try and evoke a feeling when you do this, like go through some crazy angles, place your camera super high or place its super low. 

P11 - 05:33用摄像机的视角过高或过低。  

Pretend you're in the scene and you are the camera and you want your audience to feel something. 

P11 - 05:39如同你想让观众感觉到什么。 

regardless though I cannot wait to see what you guys come up with. After that, you will be equipped to tackle the next piece of our painting puzzle. See you then.

 

05 Lesson 1 - Values Part 5 - Recap

P5 - 00:01 

 Through the first lesson that wasn't so bad, was it? Now let's take a quick moment to go over everything that we've learned in the module is so far. 

P5 - 00:07我们复习学过的东西。 

If you're anything like me, I have an incredibly low attention span. Sometimes things just go in one ear through the other ear. 

P5 - 00:15一个耳朵进另一个耳朵出。 

So I always appreciate it when someone can repeat a concept for me. Or sometimes I will definitely raise my hand in class and ask a teacher, can you repeat what you just said, Even though I know that you totally said it like 10 minutes ago. 

P5 - 00:28问老师十分钟之前的话题。 

So I'm totally there with you. If you're that kind of person. First we learned what concept art is. It's simply put clear visual communication. 

P5 - 00:36概念艺术是视觉化的。 

Next we went over the general outline of this course. We're going to start off with black and white and then go into composition, then light and color, then painting techniques. And lastly, go into speed painting. 

P5 - 00:47黑白 光与色 绘画 速写。 

We then jumped right back into the lecture for black and white. Black and white is incredibly important for us artists, 

P5 - 00:56黑白阈值对我们非常重要。 

because number one, that's usually what is asked first in the process. We deliver black and white sketches and thumbnails before going into the final color. 

P5 - 01:04最后转化成颜色。 

But more importantly, number two, it makes our art understandable. If artwork does not look good in black and white, no amount of color will ever make it look nice. 

P5 - 01:11如果黑白图画不好，上色也不好。 

We can categorize black and white into two categories, Notan and Chiaroscuro, or as we call it, local value versus shadow values. 

P5 - 01:19N区域或C阴影。 

It's a way for us to kind of categorize the way that we put black and whites on the page. Most paintings usually Lean towards one or the other. 

P5 - 01:26大部分绘制都是相互影响的。 

So decide which way you prefer your painting to Lean towards. 

P5 - 01:30选择绘制到什么方式。 

Lastly, we learned that we need to train our eyes. Knowing and seeing other great artworks will set a benchmark in standard for ourselves. 

P5 - 01:37绘制基本点。 

Now let's finish this module off with a small demo and your first homework assignment. 

P5 - 01:44开始第一个作业。 

But don't worry, I promise that it's not going to be painful.
