Project 2

Exercise 3: Kinetic Typography

For this task, we were to create a lyric music video using kinetic typography. This was a group project. We created a miro board for our art directions for the lyric music video. We chose the song Enemy by Imagine Dragons.

After creating a miro board, we divided the task and started working on our parts. I was tasked to do the Intro and Verse 1.

After getting feedback from Mr. Martin, I improved on my part.

Exercise 4: Animated Pie Chart

For this task, we were to animated a pie chart using Adobe After Effects. I used the information provided to create the pie chart. Firstly, I animate the pie chart based on their percentage.

After animating the pie chart, I put in the information of the pie chart and animated it accordingly.

After finishing my animation, I found that my animation might be a little too quick. So I slowed it down abit.

After separating the layers, I imported the AI file into Adobe After Effects and started animating it. I use the bounce effect and puppet tool to animated it.

REFLECTION

I learnt a lot from completing the exercises, especially Exercise 3. A lot of self learning had to be done when completing Exercise 3 as it was something completely new to me. Although it was a pain to have to watch multiple tutorials to complete Exercise 3, I enjoyed doing it. I can use the knowledge gained in the future. Exercise 4 and 5 also help me brush up my skills in Adobe After Effects as I haven't used that app a lot. Overall, I enjoyed completing all the exercises for Project 2.
