There were a few things that teacher explained : The animations does not need to be very complicated and extravagant Simple changes to some elements of the illustration is preferred If we wanted the animation to move fast, the period of the frames should be shorter and vice versa. The captions of the video needs to be accounted during storyboarding We can include simple animations to the captions INSTRUCTIONS Generate and communicate design concepts, use creative thinking, and utilise information and communication technology. The project requires creating a poetic, life-lesson animated video with a caption suitable for social media posts.  The video must be between 15 – 20 seconds in duration and include at least 3 se...

He provided a video of a river and a image of a leaf for us.  Figure 1.0 Documents given by teacher - Week 10 (18/11/2025) According to the tutorial video, I was applied the leaves into the composition but I edited the colours of the leaves to suit my composition as the original ones was too green. I've also made the leaves to rotate back and forth using the rotation in the transform layer.  Figure 1.1 Adding the leaves to the composition - Week 10 (18/11/2025) After that, I added the clip of the water to my composition following the video tutorial teacher gave. I changed the opacity to be lower and edited the contrast to mask the water to the poster. Figure 1.2 Adding the clip ...

17/11/2025 - 23/11/2025 (Week 9) Chan Xin Yean, 0377851 Digital Photography and Imaging Task 2B : Conceptual Photo Manipulation LECTURE In this weeks lecture, teacher introduced us to  After Effects. Figure 1.0 Screenshot of lecture slides, Week 9 (18/11/2025) Pre-compositing in Adobe Photoshop requires layers to be carefully arranged and clearly renamed to maintain an organised workflow and ensure smooth animation when the files are imported into After Effects. Similarly, in After Effects, all layers must remain well organised and properly synchronised with external software such as Photoshop and Illustrator. Since After Effects does not embed media but instead links to external files, good file and layer management is essential to prevent missing assets and to support an efficient animation process. TUTORIAL In this weeks tutorial, teacher moved on with teaching us how to use After Effects. We could use the collage teacher provided or the one we created for our Project 1A task. I...
