Chan Wan Qing / 0350928 / BA of Design (HONS) in Creative Media Digital Photography and Imaging  Week 14 (Consultation Week) WEEK 14 (6.7.2023) Week 13 is a public holiday and this week will be the last class of Digital Photography and Imaging. This is also the last consultation class from Mr Fauzi for our final project. So at the end of this class, we are going to finalise everything and submit our Project 4 - Animation: Self-titled .  In this class, I amended my work by adjusting the speed of both clock hands as Mr Fauzi advised because the speed of minute hand and hour hand are different, if both of them are in the same speed, the time will be messed up and affect the overall result of this animation. Mr Fauzi also said that we should pay attention to this small details as it will cause the final outcome to look different.  Final Animation I have learned a lot from this module and I like the atmosphere of the classes in this module very much. After completing thi...

Chan Wan Qing / 0350928 / BA of Design (HONS) in Creative Media Digital Photography and Imaging Project 4 Project 4 - Animation: Self-Titled For project 4, we were given the task of making a digital collage with the theme “Self-titled". In this project, we are going to create a surreal poster using Adobe Photoshop and then use Adobe After Effects to animate the poster into an Instagram reel/story.  We are required to reflect our ideas into an experimental video by using Adobe Photoshop & Adobe After Effects.  Researches / References Before I started, I did some researches on collage portrait, self portrait on Pinterest. I added some of them into my Pinterest Board for DPI , I was inspired by some of the artworks while doing researches. I realised that there are various styles on doing collage portrait that I can approach while starting this project.  I also did some research on self portrait too to explore the pose...

Chan Wan Qing / 0350928 / BA of Design (HONS) in Creative Media Digital Photography and Imaging Week 10 (Lectures, Tutorial, Practical) WEEK 10 (8.6.2023)  Lecture  Adobe After Effects In week 10, Mr Fauzi introduced us about Adobe After Effect (Ae). Adobe After Effects is a 2.5D animation software used for animation, visual effects, and motion picture compositing. This software is used in the post-production phase, and has hundreds of effects that can be used to manipulate imagery. This allows you to combine layers of video and images into the same scene. Motion graphics animation works by manipulating vector and rasterized art to create and tell a story.  Compositing Layers in Photoshop All the layers need to be arrange and rename accordingly so that it will be organize and easy to be animated in After Effects.  Compositing Layers in After Effects Basically we can import elements such as images, video, vector and more into After Effects. All the layer elem...

Chan Wan Qing / 0350928 / BA of Design (HONS) in Creative Media Digital Photography and Imaging Week 9 (Lecture) WEEK 9 (1.6.2023) Lecture In week 9, we learned about digital surrealism in our lecture. Mr Fauzi first explained to us the differences between realism and surrealism.  Realism takes subject matters of the ordinary and common world which we call "reality." It almost always takes a non-exotic and non-extraordinary subject matter and theme. There is no need to think outside of the box, as that is not "real"; while surrealism explores the subconscious mind, with subject matters concentrating on dream-images and often aims to distort the ordinary and what we call reality.  Realism                                                     Surrealism Surrealism: A cultural movement focused on type of arts to express about the artist’s idea ...

Double Exposure  In this activity, we are  to merge multiple images together into one image, which also refers to double exposure. The goal of double exposure effect is to make the images look more surreal, emotional, or humorous. They usually feature silhouettes.  Part A We downloaded a few images provided by Mr Fauzi and we followed the tutorial video and tutorial slides to learn and apply double exposure effect using Adobe Photoshop. Images provided: I followed the tutorial step by step, as this is the first time I tried double exposure effect using Adobe Photoshop, I was a little confused for some of the steps, however, I managed to overcome and learn it after playing back the video a few times.  Outcome:...
