EXERCISES



Shooting Exercise 1

In our second week, we were given another exercise of camera placement shooting. 
  1. Low angle wide shot
  2. Eye level medium wide shot
  3. Frontal medium shot
  4. Side angle medium shot
  5. 3/4 angle medium close up shot
  6. Frontal medium close up shot
  7. Close up shot
  8. Extreme close up shot






Lalin Editing Practice

For this task, we were asked to rearrange the remake of Lalin using the provided video files from Google Drive. The reference video was also included, so we could follow it as a guide.

I started by cropping the beginning and end of each clip to remove any unnecessary parts, then arranged them in the correct sequence to match the original remake. After that, I added the chat bubble graphics and used the Effect Controls panel to animate the opacity, creating a smooth disappearing effect for each message, making it look like a real-time chat interaction.





Shooting Exercise 2

This week, we were given another task for another shooting. This time we were also given a reference along with the list of shot :
  1. Deep shot
  2. Tight M.S. side angle
  3. Over shoulder shot 1
  4. Over shoulder shot 2 (Reverse over shoulder shot)
  5. Tight medium shot

Act 2 :
Thrown into chaotic jumps between alternate realities, Evelyn starts to gain the skills and experiences of her other selves. As she struggles to understand her purpose and powers, she discovers the villain she must defeat Jobu Tupaki, is actually a version of her own daughter Joy, which leaves her feeling powerless and emotionally crushed, leading her to consider giving in to Jobu's nihilistic worldview represented by the Everything Bagel.

Act 3 :
With Raymond's gentle encouragement, Evelyn begins to understand the importance of compassion and acceptance. Instead of fighting, she uses her powers to bring understanding and healing to those around her. This emotional breakthrough helps her reach Joy, saving her from the void and allowing Evelyn to finally embrace her life in the present with peace and love.

Storyboard 

In Week 5, we shifted our focus to storyboarding techniques, and for that session, we were given a task to create a storyboard from an existing VFX video. The video had already been split into separate shots and scenes, so instead of coming up with a new concept, our job was to analyze the sequence and visually map it out in storyboard form.

This exercise was more about understanding structure—how each shot connects, how transitions are planned, and how a scene is visually broken down before the actual editing starts. It gave me a clearer picture of how important storyboards are in guiding the flow and pacing of a video project.




VFX Exercise

As a final exercise to support our project, we were given one more task to practice some basic VFX editing. After watching the example and tutorial video provided, I followed along step by step to recreate the same effect.

I started by using the Roto Brush Tool to separate the subject from the background in a few shots. Then, I used the Keylight effect to remove the green screen cleanly and make the composition look more natural. Once the green screen was erased, I began arranging all the shots according to the sequence shown in the tutorial so the visuals would match the example.

To enhance the final look, I added an adjustment layer for color grading, where I tweaked the contrast and colors to give the video a more polished, cinematic feel. I also experimented with a few extra effects to improve the overall presentation. This exercise helped me understand the basics of VFX workflow and how to combine multiple tools and layers to create a believable final result.

Unfortunatelly I did not save it in my personal laptop, as I had done the exercise in the lab during class session, and did not save the result.

INTERCULTURAL DESIGN TASK 3 - FINAL PROJECT

Image
In this project, we are going to finalize our idea, compiling it into a set of information and data. For the final project, we are all tasked to create a tiktok account that holds all of the research and output of our task. The tiktok account that we are posting them in will be a compilation of videos based on our work that we have worked on for the task within the semester. As our main topic is about the everyday design, we as a group have decided to pick the main focus of traffic signs in Indonesia as a point of interest. We emphasized how traffic is so prevalent not only in Indonesia, but throughout various densely populated countries like Malaysia as well, that it has became a culture of its own. Bad driving habits has contributed to the horrible traffic across the countries that it has turned into an everyday culture.  As a group, we decided to tackle one of the sign that has contributed to the horrible congestion and bad driving culture, which is the “belok kiri jalan terus” ...
