LAUAN601 PORTAL

PORTAL ANIMATIONS  



A portal animation is a storyline that introduces a pathway to two separate worlds. The portal can be an object, character, or the environment. 

For example, in the movie, 'Coraline' by Tim Burton, the portal from her reality world into her dream world is through a mysterious door found on the wall. This door allows Coraline to travel through each world. By creating a portal, the director is able to portray the two worlds as the characters emotion change from one side of the portal to the other. As well as, the movie 'Coraline', another example of a portal animation is, 'Alice in wonderland. The portal that separates her two worlds is a rabbit hole. This provides the director with the space to explore their imagination and the portal that the character will be given is based around the personality traits that the character may hold.


The Portal from the movie: 'Coraline'



My storyline suggests to the viewer that there may be more than one mystical world that the little boy is yet to discover. This includes numerous portals that I created to separate the two worlds, which will be the five coloured doors. The black and white imagery will enhance the only colour within this scene, leaving an lasting impression on the audience, as they will hopefully start to question what worlds may lie behind each coloured door. I have chosen to use a portal in my storyline because I think it is the most effective method that a director can use to clearly establish what two worlds live within this storyline as well as, using it as a tool to explain to the audience how the character will travel through each world. If the audience are not able to understand how the character ends up in the mystical world, this could confuse the viewer and could result in the aesthetic design not producing the reactions wanted by the director, as there is no clear separation between the two worlds.
