Project 2: Decisive Moment


For this project, as stated previously, we had to illustrate a decisive moment in whatever media we choose that leaves the viewer feeling hyped up in anticipation for the next scene. I decided to choose a moment in one of my favorite anime, Kimetsu no Yaiba, where one of the main characters Zenitsu goes against a spider demon.


Figure 1.0 Sketch side by side to the original

In this scene, he showcases just how powerful he really is despite appearing as weak. He was also backed into a corner by the spider demon which made him finally snap and gain the courage to defeat it using his thunder attack.

Figure 1.1 Figuring out colors to use

We were told to be simple with our posters, so I looked up minimalistic movie posters for inspiration on how far I wanted to go with simplicity. I may want to add more details in some areas after all.

As for the animation aspect, I also wasn't sure if I wanted to go all out or simple. Simplicity would be best unless I wanted to really push and challenge myself.


Figure 1.3 Animated movie posters

These look just as great as a more complex animation would, and I am getting ideas on animating lightning onto my final piece. I would also love to attempt animating his clothes to sway a little too, at least experiment with it.

Figure 1.4 More progress before coloring

Before I jump into coloring I added in rocks from the original scene that flew up from the character breaking the ground, I thought that would be a neat detail to animate alongside other elements. I also added in shadows to really emphasize the scene, making it more interesting and dramatic.

Figure 1.5 Adding the title

The move that this character unleashes is called 'Thunderclap and Flash', so I decided to use that as the title.

Figure 1.8 Animating

For the animation, I decided to try out after effects instead of Photoshop to see how different and easy it is compared to it. It took some tries to get used to since I was very new to the program, yet a lot of Youtube tutorials helped me through this process.

MAJOR PROJECT

28.08.2023 -  04.12.2023 Haura Laiqa Naznin / 0345050 / Bachelors of Design in Creative Media Major Project INSTRUCTIONS   WEEK 1-3   For our final year project, we were given two choices: one was to either base it off of our dissertation or to do something entirely new. For me, I decided to have it related to my dissertation which was about representation. My main idea was to have a protagonist that other animated movies seem to lack, specifically hijabi representation. This made me think about including my culture into the idea and representing it through the characters and environment. After having some more thought I landed on creating an animation story concept for my final year project. For the first feedback session, I was consulted by Mr. Asrizal and he gave me some pointers to be more specific about what I wanted to represent from my culture. Was it the creatures? The people? I had to think more about that before proceeding with my idea, which he seemed fine with. He t

01.04.2022 -  25.06.2022 Haura Laiqa Naznin / 0345050 / Bachelors of Design in Creative Media Vehicle and Props Design LECTURES Week 1: We learned about the fundamentals and basics on how to draw out vehicles from scratch. References are very important! Week 2: We continued to learn about the basics of breaking down a vehicle to its most simple shapes. Week 3: Mr Kannan took a look at our sketches for some vehicles and gave feedback. He then explained what our first project was going to be like, having to choose a world and universe to design vehicles for and the process in doing so. Week 4: No class. Week 5: More feedback on our ongoing project sketches, teaching us on how to draw our vehicles in different perspectives by using the tools in the programs we use such as Photoshop. More thumbnailing and idea sketching. Week 6: We now learned about materials and textures and how to apply and paint them onto our vehicles for later on. The focus was on different types of metals. Week 7:

2023 PDW Reflection Report

 26/10/2023 PDW Reflection Report During the beginning of week 8, I was looking forward to attending the webinars that were organized by our lecturers and Mr. Izwal. The ones that I have chosen were focused on tips in the workplace and interviews as well as insights into the creative industry. One of the few companies that helped put it all together were Allianz, GSK and C47 Creative. The reasons why I chose those specifically were because I had my worries when it came to choosing jobs or internships in the future and the processes that would follow it. Interviews are very common, if you were unlucky and didn't get hired on the spot! It was one aspect that I always felt nervous about when I thought about having to do them in the future, so obtaining advice from the very professionals who conducted them was going to prove very valuable to me. During all of the webinars, I made sure to write down notes that seemed important to me and to screenshot any information that I thought could
