INSTRUCTIONS
Task 1
Technical and Motion Graphics Sensibilities
For task 1, we were to develop motion graphics based on design principles
such as symmetry, focus, scale, and rhythm.

I decided to only create my own for Symmetry, Focus, Scale, and Rhythm. For Symmetry, I decided to show it through arrow-shaped objects moving in the same direction symmetrical. For Focus, I had a small heart beating into a bigger heart, it slowly gains focus for the viewer even with a 'busy' and crowded background of circles floating. I added blur effects to the circle to emphasize the focus of the heart. Moreover, for scale, I started off with two circles of the same size, doing the same motion, circling each other. However, one gets bigger and one gets smaller, to show scale. Last but not least, for rhythm, I decided to create rhythm through motion by having rectangles increase in height following a sort of rhythm. It is inspired by equalizers seen in audio editing.

PART 2
In Part 2, my main idea was just to have all of the parts displayed. I
wanted it to layer a lot at the start and slowly strip away the
layers.

FEEDBACKS
Week 6
Specific Feedback: For Part 1, each design principle was nicely
done. For Part 2, the intro was good but I still need practice on
compositing. I need to work more on transitions.
REFLECTIONS
In this project, I had a good experience and was able to revise using After
Effects. I love creating motion graphics and being able to animate shapes to
represent the design principles was enjoyable. I have some strengths such as
my skills and ability to use After Effects. My fluency in using After
Effects definitely did help for this Project. The skills were translated in
Part 1 but not so much in Part 2's draft due to me not being sure I could
use transitions. I have have misread the requirements and how I could do for
Part 2. However, after feedbacks, I understood how I can manipulate the
different compositions to create an interesting 'remix'. Moreover, I am
proud of the task done and am grateful for all the guidance and feedback
given by Mr Fauzi because it definitely helped me improve. I found that I
should definitely be more experimental in motion graphics to create unique
pieces of work.
