Minor: Pre-viz and notes
This is the per-viz for my Minor project that I have been working on over the summer. I set about doing this to get a better idea of now some of the shots would play out and to test out now some of the pops be shown. I am happy with some of the shot, such as the way that the Sun and Moon are introduceed, close ups that I have used for both characters, the way that Moon swings round with the crown along with the way the image fades out on the Sun at the end. I'm not too happy with some of the shots that have the characters moving around but this might be because I was focused on the walk cycle and I might not need it in my finished animation. I also think that the shot of the sun and moon spining round might have been done abit better.
Hi Rhia, your research looks really good so far in terms of content and quality. It would be a good idea to make further use of academic journals, as these are usfeul for linking theory to practice. I've linked to a few example searches to show what's available:

There is also an e-book available via the Library called On Nineteen Eighty-Four : Orwell and Our Future which you may find helpful. You can access it via https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/ucreative-ebooks/reader.action?docID=617523&query=.
It might also be relevant to take a look at the political and historical context in which George Orwell wrote 1984. This article is a good starting point: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21337504

Chapter 1 - Focus on Utopias only with a plan to conclude that a) Utopias are different for everyone but b) they share the same characteristic (i.e. they represent a fixed point). This sets up the issue of structuralism vs poststructuralism - i.e. Derrida critiques structuralism (fixed points) because he argues that those 'fixed points' are actually representations of cultural bias/invisible prejudice/covert ideology. Put more simply, we distrust Utopias because they represent 'fixed points' and thus represent cultural bias/invisible prejudice/covert ideology.
