Students will getto demonstrate their cinematic skills andcreativity through projects.ST7801Digital Matte PaintingThis module aims to train students the basictechniques of digital matte painting forvisual effects in a production environment.Digital matte painting combines elementsof photography, simple 3D models andfreehand painting techniques within AdobePhotoshop to merge the boundaries of realismwith digital painting to create stunningbackdrop elements for use in visual effectsproduction. Students will be familiarised withthe techniques used in matte painting such asexposure, light quality, depth and atmosphere,integration and the painting process.They will also use various types of photomanipulation to hand painting methods.Many challenges are addressed, such asskies, water, architecture, linear perspectiveand atmospheric perspective. By the end ofthe course, students will have acquired skillsto produce their own matte painting forintegration into their live action and CG.ST7802Film StudiesFosters the appreciation of film as an artform. Students will study the developmentand impact of CG in filmmaking. They will beintroduced to film history, auteurist and genrestudies, technique, aesthetics, criticism, andsocial implications of cinema and its evolutionthrough lectures and screenings of a diverserange of films. As the students progress onto moving image production, they will beable to ground their theoretical and criticalinsights in an appreciation of how films areactually made.ST7803Animation FundamentalsAims to cover the traditional animationprinciples in-depth and adapt them for 3D.Through hands-on practical lessons, studentswill use professional 3D animation softwareto learn techniques for creating convincingmovement and produce entertainingpieces of animation incorporating bothanthropomorphic and humanoid characters.Students will learn to adopt a properorganized approach to animation, andapply it extensively to produce 3D animatedclips. Students will be equipped with thefundamentals of a professional approach tocomputer animation, and will be expected toproduce quality 3D character animated shorts.ST7804Production DesignIntroduces the fundamentals of sets,props and graphics. Students will developknowledge of natural forms and proportionsthrough pre-visualization drawings and threedimensional object creations using varioussculpting materials. The module focuses onthe implementation of the scenic elements,such as location, set design and dressing,props and effects, wardrobe as well asmake-up, to establish a unified visual stylefor video production. They will present theirdesign through technical drawings and scaledmodels. Students will be able to actualize theirdesigns in CG film production environment.332 Singapore Polytechnic Prospectus 2008/2009
