Week 8：Essay_Referencing
This week, our teacher retold the structure and format of the article in class and let us focus on how to correctly cite the literature in the article. I also read various references and consciously practiced Harvard citations. I made a paper plan for myself, and drew up the outline of the paper, and according to the outline, I have found a lot of references I need. I read the literature carefully and made some key points myself.
In class this week, the teacher randomly divided us into groups and asked us to discuss our papers in groups. So I made friends with classmates from other majors. In this discussion, my panelists gave me good points. Let me do more research from the animation market research of different countries. Since there are few references for my research direction, my classmates recommended two animations to me：The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales… directed by Benjamin Renner and Patrick Imbert, Ernest & Celestine (French: Ernest et Célestine) directed by Stéphane Aubier, Vincent Patar and Benjamin Renner
This week, we use a basic scanning model of the face, using quadrilateral rendering to generate our own face based on the appropriate topological layout. We start topologically with the eyes, then expand by the quadrilateral until we have covered half of the face. Because of magnetism, every point we create will be attached to the original model. It was very difficult for me, especially when making ears. I often get node links wrong. Because I often link triangles or pentagons. Because each time there was a different error, I repeated the model many times. Fortunately for this model, we only do half of it and then mirror it later, which makes a lot of sense in terms of saving time and effort, as any asymmetric elements can simply be added later.
This week, we’ve looked at abstraction in film, covering two main categories. Formal abstraction: means that abstract elements relate to formal aspects of the medium, such as films where tape is scratched after shooting for effect. Conceptual abstraction: means dealing with the abstraction of concepts and ideas, and while it doesn’t necessarily mess with the form of the medium, it uses the language of the medium to try to portray something conceptual, such as fear or nightmares.
Categorization: I think of it as Formative abstraction. Under the lights of the theater, a speck of dust becomes a genie in classical music, performs a ballet, and eventually becomes a star.
The technical ability to draw the dancing figure at different angles as the camera moved during the scene on stage is exquisite! An aesthetic masterpiece and a beautifully made film with a professional finish. The excellent music, the perfect animation shot and the rhythm of the music blend to let the audience look unforgettable.
The film centers on Carl Fredricksen, an elderly widower and Russell, a Wilderness Explorer who goes on a journey to South America, in order to fulfill a promise that Carl made to his late wife Ellie. Along the way, they meet a talking dog named Dug and encounter a giant bird named Kevin, who is being hunted by the explorer Charles Muntz , whom Carl had idolized in childhood.

WEEK 1
In the first class today, the teacher first told us what critical writing is and its process. And it solidified its definition and tested the topic for us to write about.
We also came up with the theme of raising topics, although I found this difficult because I wasn’t sure what the course itself was going to teach us. I don’t know what else this course will be spent discussing and learning. With some of the team members,
