Reference
Does the topic motivate you to research and discover?
I chose this topic because I had already studied the use of lighting in animation before. However, I think I have not researched it enough and many ideas have not been explained in enough detail, so I would like to continue to improve this topic.
How might the research impact present or future theoretical and practical study? Are there potentials to apply new learning?
It is clear that light and shadow is highly expressive artistic language. A director can express a lot of meaning through light alone. With the continuous development of rendering techniques, contemporary animation creators are also paying more and more attention to the use of light. Therefore I believe that an in-depth study of light is necessary and that there is great potential for its use in the future.
Audience: who and what is the report for?
My target audience is students and animation creators, and through my research, I hope to enable animators to become more aware of the use of changing light to enrich images in the process of creating animation.
Purpose: what do you want them to know?
By summarizing the application of lighting in outstanding animated films, the creators will know that lighting is not arbitrary in the film, but purposeful, and hopefully they will also set lighting purposefully in their future creations.
