Character's action

I thought a little more about what the character would be doing, and why. I had already established that he would be depressed because he is in prison, and the lighting set-up would compliment the mood in order to allow the audience to realise that.

So I decided to exemplify that further. We all know that it is better to be free than in prison, that is a given. I am sure it is a thought that many who are incarcerated reflect on. I needed a visual way for the character to reflect on that, and I achieved that by utilising the idea of the outside world.

The character would look outside of the cell window, where a fool moon would in full view would look down at him, reminding him of the beauty that is outside and is inaccessible to him.



Regarding animation, I now know that he would at some point need to look up. Now I need to consider what happens before and after he looks at the moon -- what type of actions need to be performed in the build up to it, and his mood changes after seeing it.
