As students complete the learning tasks of various basic courses, it is a very important teaching link to comprehensively apply the knowledge they have learned to create practice. The animated short film creation course is mainly a comprehensive practical exercise of the basic courses on animation learned in the previous stage. It not only exercises the students' ability to write stories, write scripts, design characters and scenes, and draw them into shots, but also Students' mid-term animation production ability is a very important practical course.

Animation shot script design:

The course theme is to guide students into the preliminary homework of animation production: script content planning and shot design, how to combine the story content in the mind or the content of the book The textual content is displayed through drawing and becomes the picture script for the animation team to carry out mid-term production and discussion and communication. They must also have a complete concept of the presentation of the film's shots and pictures as well as the film's sound design.

Visual Communication:

This course will study the layout design of text and graphics, pre-press techniques and printing processes, as well as different types of paper and printing processes. At the same time, you will also learn graphic design The different categories of the field, as well as the focus of different categories of design, enable students to understand the design points of different categories of graphic design, and combine creative methods to use relevant design software to design graphic design practices.

Commercial Illustration Design:

Digital painting methods are constantly improving. This course will guide students to use drawing software and digital drawing tablets to transfer the traditional paper-and-pen drawing method. to drawing on the computer. By using this method to create paintings, create animations and design works, it will be more helpful to students’ future work style and creativity.

2. Digital media:

Concept: Digital media refers to the information carrier that records, processes, disseminates, and obtains information in the form of binary numbers. These carriers include digital text and graphics. Sensory media such as images, sounds, video images, and animations, and the presentation media (encoding) that express these sensory media, are generally called logical media, as well as physical media that store, transmit, and display logical media. Digital media technology is a professional term in the discipline of information and communication engineering. Its concepts and analysis methods are widely used in communication engineering, automatic control, signal and information processing, circuits and systems and other fields.

Brief introduction: A unique and important feature of information media recorded and disseminated by computers is that the smallest unit of information is a bit ----- "0" or "1". Any information can be decomposed into a series of permutations and combinations of "0" or "1" when stored and transmitted in a computer. We call information media stored, processed and disseminated through computers digital media: bits are just a state of existence: on or off, true or false, high or low, black or white, abbreviated as 0 or 1. Bits are easy to copy, can be quickly disseminated and reused, and different media can be mixed with each other. Bits can be used to represent information such as text, images, animation, film and television, voice, and music. The integration of text data, sound, images, animation, etc. is called multimedia. In the past, the media we are familiar with were almost all stored and transmitted in an analog way, while digital media is stored, processed and transmitted in the form of bits through computers. The realization of interactive performance is quite difficult in the analog domain, but much easier in the digital domain. Therefore, "human-computer interaction" with computers is a distinctive feature of digital media.
