Research

The section of the assignment that we agreed as a group for me to focus on is the scene illustrating Southend air show. We felt that Southend air show is a fun family event for all ages and so it would be worth advertising as a highlight of Essex particularly due to the bad press Southend gets. It is an event I have been to a couple of times so I had an idea on how I would go about illustrating it. I decided to do a bit more research in order to help develop my ideas.

My research identified that the planes/parts of the show that people are most interested in are the red arrows display team for their exciting stunts and colourful display plus also the battle of Britain memorial flight consisting of a World War II Lancaster bomber and Spitfire fighter. The Lancaster bomber in this show is just one of two Lancasters in the world still airworthy and for this reason it attracts many enthusiasts.

I decided that I would use these iconic planes to symbolise the air show and recreate some of the stunts they perform in the 3D animation to make the scene look interesting.
