Project 2

For my project 2, the group is formed by 3 members. They are Lester, Lynette and ME!!!


Here is my FINAL video!






Let's begin my project 2 with our storyline....
Storyline
The story comes in the form of a book, where by it is cursed. It begins in one day someone tears the book away without knowing. The book magically flips and writes on the time that he will die. Then slowly bit by bit he realises he got marking on his body and blood starts to leaks in the form of words. 


Summary
This video it trying to convey to the audience about a book that is haunted and will curse anybody who tried to mess with the book. It will be a horror movie and will last for about 2-3 mins. The concept of this project will be focusing on the effects and sounds, telling people about the curse of the book. Start of the video the actor will tear a piece from the book accidentally and without him knowing he is already being cursed.


Next will be the storyboarding....

Research 
Before we start to do the effect, we did some research about the effects...
Gash in arm effect


Eye glow effect


Colour correction 
for sky and weather replacement




Process


After doing the research, we divide the videos into 3 parts. Each member will in change for their own part. Then, I start to apply the after effects into the videos...
Here is my part...


Colour Correction
I use the colour correction to change from day to night

                            Before                                    After




Reflection
I think this project quite challenging. After doing this project 2, I have learnt a lot of stuffs. Firstly, I learned how to co-operate with my group members when doing a team project. It is important to be united as the group work cannot be done well if one or more member does not do his part.

Secondly, I have learnt how to plan the schedule before we start doing anything. It is important to do a planning as it can help me to do the work more efficiently and finish the work on time.

Lastly however, I face some problems in motion tracking while doing the effects for the videos. It is hard for me to track the motion as the object is moving fast. Overall, this project is quite challenging but the experience is very enjoyable.
