Week 6 (6/5/2021)

On this week's lecture, we were given a brief on project 2 which is about making a poster on decisive moment of a movie. These decisive moments that impacted a story and you as an audience.

• You can use any known narrative from published media like movies, animation, books, comics, manga etc. 
• Capture the unique, fleeting, and meaningful moment of that time, ideally one involving movement and action.
• Create a sophisticated background to the subject that interacts both visually and psychologically with the subject in a synergistically meaningful figure/ground relationship. 
• Exercise anticipation, ambiguity and uncertainty of the moment as a visual gap, interval, or suspension of some kind through the animation loop. 
• Provide a logline to describe the moments, but not enough to reveal the whole story behind the picture. 

We were also thought about animating in photoshop which we will need to do for this project.

Week 7 (13/5/2021)

For this week, we don't have class as it is a public holiday. However, I was brainstorming on what scene I want to do for this project. The first memorable and decisive moment from a movie scene that came to mind was in Avengers: Endgame when Iron Man got hold of the infinity stones and snap his finger. So from that scene I made sketches for the poster.

Week 8 (20/5/2021)

For this week, we don't have class too as it is independent learning week. After sketching out the Iron Man poster, I felt like it wasn't as minimal as I want it to be. So I thought of another scene which is from the movie Joker(2019). Below is the rough composition sketch of when Joker became "Joker" where he was dancing on the stairs.

So I had 2 different quotes to put in the composition. I ask a few of my friends on which would be better and we came to the conclusion that the first one is better. I've also chosen the colors for the composition by color picking from the original scene.

I've also started making the components of Joker for the scene as shown below.

Here is the first draft of the composition that I have created.

Week 9 (27/5/2021)

For this week, we had no live lecture and just a pre-recorded lecture. However, we still have tutorial on animation in after effects. I also showed my composition to my lecturer for feedback. He gave a few pointers on adding shadows to create depth in my composition. After fixing up the composition, I animated the arms and jacket of Joker to make him look like he is dancing on the stairs.
