INSTRUCTION




📌Project 1: Compositing Sensibilities


 The briefing  (W3 - 09.09.2021) 

Today, Mr Fauzi had assigned students with the next task --- Project 1. During the tutorial session, Mr Fauzi showed us some tutorials video regarding the project content and he continued to do some simple revisions on Adobe After Effect to ensure all students are familiar with the AE working interface.  Basically, project 1 was divided into 2 parts, the first part was to create our own 4 single basic video compositions and the second part was to create an advanced composition remix using all 8 single video clips. On the other hand, students were advised to study the composition layer from the given AE template.

PART 1 - PRECOMP:
1. MOVEMENT (done)
2. HIERARCHY (done)
3. BALANCE (done)
4. DIRECTION (done)
5. SYMMETRY (Create your own keyframes)*
6. FOCUS (Create your own keyframes)*
7. SCALE (Create your own keyframes)*
8. RHYTHM (Create your own keyframes)*

PART 2 - COMPOSITION:
1. Choose any PRECOMP (#01-#08) from PART 1 and drag it into COMPOSITION REMIX.
2. Create a composition for 16 sec.




 The Working Process  (W4 - 18.09.2021) 

Part 1: AE Pre-Comp Recreate

To start with the project, I did some visual research from the website to get some inspiration for the motion graphic visual elements. Aside from that, I also did some brainstorming sketches to get a clearer visualization of the possible movement of the shape elements. During the visual designing process, I tried to ensure the rest of the composition could maintain a similar visual mass with the previous example given by the lecturer by giving limitations on using complicated shapes. I hope that I could make good use of the simple shapes to create something presentable.

Fig 1.0   Pre-Comp 5. Symmetry editing (part 1)
The concept behind this composition is using the four simple circles
 the main visual elements to create asymmetry motion art.

Fig 1.1   Pre-Comp 5. Symmetry editing (part 2)
The circles will be going to move along the four corners to create a visual transition.

Fig 1.2   Pre-Comp 6. Focus editing (part 1)
The concept behind this composition is to create a conceptual eye 
with a blooming pupil to create a centralized visual emphasis.

Fig 1.3   Pre-Comp 6. Focus editing (part 2)
After finish creating the oval shape's rotation for the pupil,
a moving dash line is added as a visual highlight.  

Fig 1.4   Pre-Comp 7. Scale editing (part 1)
The concept behind this composition is mainly utilizing several
circular shapes in different scales.

Fig 1.5   Pre-Comp 7. Scale editing (part 2)
The scaling transition effect is applied to all of the circles to conveys the concept of scale.

Fig 1.6   Pre-Comp 8. Rhythm editing (part 1)
The concept behind this composition is using the oval shapes
as the main visual element to create a moving rhythm.

Fig 1.7   Pre-Comp 8. Rhythm editing (part 2)
Inconsistent scaling transition value is applied to the oval shapes.

This is the composition of all motion clips into one frame.

 # Consultation Note:  
  • General: We should see the pre-comp as a catalogue, and match them together as a whole. We have to decide which pre-comp will be a transition, and which of them will be the centre visual. A complete reference guide is very important to decide the timing and content.
  • Specific: The first part is good, but try to avoid the crashing and overlapping composition as it will give some negative space that looks like a mistake. Overall is fine, just need to fix some visual error and you have the compositing skill. Good job and keep it up.

 # Reflection:  It could be challenging for some reason that I tend to have a good idea for the composition, however, I may not able to meet my expectations due to the immature editing skills for after effect. On the other hand, I found the creation process as enjoyable as the composition seemed to work in an unexcepted way which gave me more encouragement and confidence for the upcoming task.
