Group Project (40%) – Abstract Motion

Timeframe 

Week 02 – Week 14

Deadline 

Week 14

Description 

Students are to create a theme-based abstract motion graphic that consist of a good audio visual be it raster/vector, mix media, or any experimental visual output that should has an impactful theme.

Requirements Students are expected to:

1. work in a team of (not more than) 4 members
2. use information for any proposed channel (*existing or fictional)

4. prepare style guide that conveys final look & feel
5. create a storyboard
6. create animatics
7. explore appropriate audio to uplift the motion tempo

Students will start with sketches and test a wide range of ideas through digitization using appropriate software. Students conclude by selecting and presenting their personal design interpretation in the instructed format/s.Students do reflective writing in the academic blog.

Submission 

Compiled all technical documents (mood board, style guide, sketches, storyboard, technical processes) in the academic blog (i.e., e-portfolio) Final output will include a 15-30 second video (.mp4, 16:9 – 1440 x 1080, 25fps) uploaded to YouTube channel as unlisted video

Ideation

Chosen Topic: Climate Change

Climate change refers to long-term changes in the average weather patterns that define Earth's climate. These changes involve alterations in temperature and other atmospheric conditions. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, there is a growing scientific consensus that human activities are significantly contributing to this issue nowadays

Reference: https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/what-is-climate-change

Problem:

How to raise  awareness and shift people's perception to truly grasp the critical condition of Earth suffering from climate change?

Solution:
Through the abstract motion how the Earth is sick because of things people do. Then, explain how we can fix it.

Slogan Ideas:

1. “Heal The Earth, Cure The Climate ”

2. “Save earth today, survive tomorrow ”

3. “Go Green, save the blue"

Choose Slogan: 

"Heal The Earth, Cure The Climate"

The slogan indicates the awareness for the audience to start taking care to the earth due to cure the climate changes in this earth. 

Moodboard

We aim to illustrate climate change that some individuals might perceive as unimportant. It's crucial to highlight seemingly overlooked aspects of our daily lives, emphasizing their impact on the environment. 

Style Frame

We begin by showcasing our Earth and then delve into the causes of climate change. Introducing glitches before transitioning to actions everyone can take to address the issue. Our objective is to make everyone realize that healing the Earth is our responsibility, not just that of individuals in positions of power. Simple actions, such as cycling or growing plants, can significantly contribute to solving this issue.

Storyboard

Colour scheme 

The reason we chose this color scheme is because it resonates with the Earth, aligning well with our theme: 'Save the Earth.' The color blue represents the globe, portraying a somber Earth at the beginning of the video and a joyful one at the end. The green color symbolizes nature, encompassing plants, trees, and the natural environment featured in the video. As for the black and white colors, they are derived from our chosen slogan and group name, 'Vanguard.' The selection of black and white is based on their aesthetic value, providing satisfaction to the audience. Additionally, these colors are versatile and universally appealing, making them suitable in combination with other colors

Editing process

We split our parts and edit them. We use Canva for the plant animation.

We use Adobe Animate to animate the human carrying an eco bag and the man cycling

Adobe After Effects is used for creating the Earth animation and incorporating the cause and slogan animations

Afterwards, we place these elements in CapCut to add backgrounds for each scene. 

We edit the desired backgrounds using Adobe Illustrator. 

Finally, we compile everything in Filmora, adding sound effects, background music, and effects as a finishing touch for the entire video.
