Exercise 3: Kinetic Typography

For this exercise, we are required to choose a song and then animate it in After Effects. After much discussion, our group decide to go with the song Enemy by Imagine Dragons and J.I.D. Below is the break down of the lyrics and the parts distribution.

fig 1.6; Arranging and Planning Animation;

First of all, I arrange the poster and it's animation stuff in Illustrator, I then add some elements of the animation in as well since some of them did not appear in the poster. I then release the layers sequence like I learned last year.

After finish arranging and planning the animation in illustrator, I then move the file into After Effects and start to animate them. 

fig 1.9; Adding music and sound effects;

After finish editing the animations and stuff, I then decide to put in the audio and sound effects to make it better and look more alive. I have used the Restaurant City music since I really missed it ever since it's closed from Facebook. The sound effects are all from YouTube as well.

REFLECTION

In these exercises project, the one I find the most hard to be the Kinetic typography, as I couldn't think of a good way to present my part and I got really nervous after looking at other groups' work because they are all so good. I feel stressed when I think that I may hold my group back. However, I still did my best in animating it. It is undeniably a very fun experience, but I wish I could improve more since I do not think that mine is perfect. For the motion graphic chart, it is actually quite easy, and I was able to do it with the guide of YouTube. The tutorials has certainly helped me a lot. For the project part, I think that it would help my experience a lot if it didn't crash so many times. My computer is unable to handle it, and I was really scared my computer will break while doing it. Like people would sometimes say, "i cri everytiem when I think bout it", I feel the same way. However, I was still able to complete it because I'm very patient ahahaha. I really learned a lot in these exercises and projects, and I wish I could further improve myself still.

He told us that this time we're allowed to be in groups to work on our major project. Furthermore, Mr. Kannan also mentioned how we should brainstorm for our major project. After that I started to think how I should proceed with my major project while in the meantime, searching for partners. I then started to group up with Jia Yee for my major project. We then started to brainstorm for ideas, both of us have came up with all sorts of ideas, yet none of them feels like it would be best suited for us.

1.9.2023- 29.9.2023 (Week 1 - Week 5) Britney Chow Pei Jun / 0350043 / BDCM Game Development Task 1: Game Proposal LECTURES/EXERCISES WEEK 1 In this week's class, we are required to review a game made by our seniors. Fig 1.1; Reaper Test Game; sauce:  TDS Gamezone ; Although the graphic of this game does not feel as good as the other game in Gamezone. However, it is still nice as it uses simple shapes and design, the colors used in the game does not feel very out of place, the background also feels alright, but for my first time playing this game, I did not know about the environment of the game. Furthermore, the music chosen also able to fit in to the game itself. The story of the game is nice as there's a goal behind it. Due to the limitations the developer faces, there won't be more to the story. Moreover, the movement of the character is slightly "slippery" as it sometimes slipped even th...
