Project 2
Instructions
Tasks
Exercise 3 - Kinetic Typography
In project 2, there were 3 separate exercises that was needed to be done.
This was very overwhelming of an exercise because we needed to make a full music video which was basically a lyrics(?) video.
So after my group decided on the song "Tokyo Drifting by Glass Animals", we split up the sections so that each of us makes that part of the song. However, the song was around 3:30 minutes so it was considered quite long..
But by putting my full effort, and time to really finish my part, I searched up a bunch of Youtube videos teaching on after effects. I took note of every "cool" looking effects and put it in my section.
The exercise wasn't too hard, but it felt really long. I definitely spent 2 nights with no sleep watching and making the video.
The outcome came out pretty nicely, but I think we could've decided on a color choice and stuck with it as a lot of the parts were all janky in colors and wasn't very consistent.

Exercise 4 - Line Graph
This exercise was done in class as it was very quick and easy. All we had to do was that we make a graph corresponding with the assigned style that we were given by the lecturer.
I got a line graph and with the information that I got from a website, I copied that down and made that into After effects. I used the pen tool and the trim path effect to make it look a bit more interesting.

Exercise 5 - Vector Animation
Same with the previous exercise, we were assigned a vector image to work with, to import into after effects and animate it.

Mr Martin gave us the instructions on what to add to the animation. So I just followed and finalized it.

Reflections
Experience
The kinetic typography for me was hell but honestly, I learnt a lot from it. And I mean A LOT. There were sleepless nights and honestly I was getting sleep deprivation but the all the tutorials online really helped me learn so I am grateful for that.
Observations
Just like the experience above, I found that I was putting in the extra work for the kinetic typography and I was getting no sleep for like 3 days. The Japan trip was also coming up soon so I was eager to finish it on time.
Findings
The things I learnt from exercise 3 really helped me get through the other exercises as they were all pretty much the same thing.
