The layering of different textures and colour ways creates an interesting here. I feel that the layering of digitally edited imagery and analogue process' i.e. sketches, would further communicate the theme of a changing narrative, through a more literal contrast of aesthetics which convolute the process of 'reading' the narrative of the animation.

With a strong focus on a 'faded' yet still vibrant use of colour in his work, these pieces from Nicholas Law present abstract forms that give us a vague idea of a story/theme. I want to try present a similar vague aesthetic so that the audience has to fill in the blanks in the narrative. 

While the idea of presenting a 'vague' aesthetic is an interesting concept, I still want to keep it relevant enough so that the audience have an aspect that they can instantly recognise; I think the clearest way I could communicate a common narrative is through the style/filter that the visual imagery is presented through. 

I'm usually drawn to neo-wave colour ways, which would look interesting with the imagery i' working with, but through experimenting with different aesthetics, I feel that a strong threshold (black and white) communicates a more unified aesthetic.

I like the rough pastel sketched look over the imagery here. This could be another feature I could add to my collage animations to bring another 'narrative' that the audience can follow.
