I have researched into background design having looked into the animation theme and chosen documentary story setting.
Here I am gathering some examples we are looking into as a group for the best background design.
The animated film, 'Home on the Range' has really colourful backgrounds of old western style environmental scenes and theme. It has bold colours with outlines and shading, also featuring elements of abstract design with the overall layout as visually slumped, suggesting the feeling of the setting.
Flat open spaces, easy to replicate and defiantly conveys abstract elements in the design.
Looking into more abstract examples, 'Journey to Cape Verde by José Miguel Ribeiro' an animated short, showcases deep texture and mellow colouring. Using basic outlines and full of textured colour representing the background, also bold black silhouettes, other techniques for visually suggesting the environment and experiences the animation wants to represent to the viewer.
Comparing these examples of background design to the imagery of our setting, 1800s Australian town and environment. We have decided that the abstract use of texture is the best option for capturing the aesthetic of 1800s historical setting in the animation for best portraying the documentaries themes.
Along with the colour pallet, beiges, browns, ambers and yellows with black shadow. This combination should achieve the desired effect for the historical aesthetic we are going for.
