Exercise 4: About the change of seasons
The overall concept of the "Four Seasons" project is that I will use the camera to fly through functions in 3D space to complete this dynamic video. The difficulty of this project is the visual representation of the four seasons, as well as the choice of dynamics. The "Four Seasons" project also adds audio clips in comparison to other projects. So I chose the music with a strong sense of rhythm and distinct drumbeats, which is to facilitate the visual dynamics with the audio adjustment.
The elements and principles of design will be used in many ways. In the elements of plants and trees, I can use the translation, scaling, rotation, and other basic functions. In character sports, take the winter skier as an example, and I can use the puppet feature that I learned about in Horse Sports. When it's raining, it's dropping leaves, it's snowing, I can use particle systems. When the camera to fly through functions in 3D space, I can use camera features and long lenses, and even add lighting effects.
As a graphic design student, I've always wanted to incorporate my professional content into motion design. I used the "Four Seasons" illustration as the background and elements for this video. Enough layers of overlapping elements will allow me to use the camera fly through functions in 3D space. I wanted to use the long lens to stretch and move through the seasons. In addition to that, I'm going to add a few words to the title of this video.
I think this format has had two positive effects on me. First of all, I was able to integrate the learning from the previous weeks. Secondly, I think the completion of this project will be helpful for me and improve my graphic design ability in the future, for example in the design of motion logos and brand's videos.
Exercise 5: On prevention of COVID-19
The topic I chose was a simple introductory video about the coronavirus and how to deal with it.
For the visual part, I learned from the failure of the previous project. This time I won't use a lot of illustration elements to finish the project, which will result in too many layers and a lot of work. I will use simple illustration elements in this project. Try using more dynamic typesetting of text to achieve the effect. Also, I'm going to focus on the transition.
The sound is divided into two parts. In the first part, I want to choose music that sounds positive. I will choose more rhythmic music as background music, and then reduce the volume as auxiliary material. The second part, To add my own voice-over. But since I don't have good recording equipment, there may be some noise in the audio. But I'll do noise reduction for my audio. I divided my voice-over and preconceived images into several parts. I will record each part separately. It is convenient for me to adjust the time details more flexibly when making videos.
