INSTRUCTION
Task 4 / Abstract Motion and E-portfolio (40% Individual/ Group of 2)
TIMEFRAME: Week 11 – Week 14
DEADLINE: Week 14
DESCRIPTION:
1.
Students will synthesis the knowledge gained in task 1, 2 and 3 for
application in task 4. Students are to create an theme based abstract motion graphic video that consist a good audio visual say it in 3D/2D, mix media or any experimental visual output that has strong theme.
2. Students describe and reflect on their competencies within the design studio context, supported by evidence.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Students are to use information for any proposed channel (*existing or fictional)
• create mood-board that reflects their concept/idea
• storyboard
• animatics
• explore appropriate audio to uplift the motion tempo
2.
*The Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities Portfolio (TGCP) is a document that
collates all assessments produced in a module and reflects a student’s
acquisition of the Module Learning Outcomes and Taylor’s Graduate
Capabilities. Each student develops an ePortfolio, a web-based portfolio
in the form of a personal academic blog. The ePortfolio is developed
progressively for all modules taken throughout Semesters 1 to 6 and
culminates with a final Portfolio in printed form produced in the final
semester. The ePortfolio must encapsulate the acquisition of Programme
Learning Outcomes and Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities to showcase the
distinctiveness and identity of the student as a graduate of the
programme.
SUBMISSION:
1. Students will start with
thumbnail sketches and test a wide range of conceptual ideas through
digitization using the appropriate software. Students conclude by
selecting and presenting their proposed channel bumper interpretation in
the instructed format/s.
• Compiled work in progress in slide
(*mood-board, style guide, sketches, storyboard, technical processes as
posted in e-portfolio).
• Final output will include a 30 – 60 sec video (*.mp4, h2.64, 16:9)
- 1920 X 1080, 25 fps, ACC, 48kHz, uploaded to YouTube channel)

All locations consist of frames similarly to a camera focus square of each human with their “actual” thoughts above.

Part 2 : Shots - Isabel Tan
Part 3 : Transitions - Yan Ling
Part 1 - Intro
Color Distortion : 100
Noise : 60
Glitch Effects applied at the start end of the clip for the intro video. Once the glitch effect is applied, a slight scale keyframe at the start from 115% to 100% and position keyframes added to enhance the glitch.
On the right corner is the tile of the video “My Mind, Your Mind” with typewriter effects added using “Source Text”.Keyframes are worked backwards to start and slowly adding breakdown keyframes to enhance the animation effect. Overall keyframes of the entire intro is the first image on the right.
Additional keyframes of the position is added to each layer for a more obvious and lasting glitch visible compared to the intro clip. All effects applied to all layers at the start and before clip ends.
Typewriter : Intro
Glitch 2 : start and end of each scene/clip
No additional bgm added to represent the sound in “reality” and no complexity towards the entire concept of the video.
