Haura Laiqa Naznin / 0345050 / Bachelors of Design in Creative Media Video and Sound Production Project 2 LECTURES Week 3: This class taught us about plot segmentation and storytelling. How do we write a narrative properly and what is the difference between story and plot. We then did a small exercise where we watched a short film and dissected what the plot of the story is into bullet points. Week 4: We continued on to recap our previous lesson about plot and story. We then further discussed about 3 act structures - the beginning, middle, and end. The beginning would be the setup, the middle is where conflict or a confrontation occurs, and the ending is the resolution. Then we learned about sound in film such as speech and sound effects, as well as music and dubbing over videos. Week 5: In this class we learned about storyboarding and the process to how someone can storyboard a scene. There are so many different angles and shots that can be used.

In our classes, we showed Mr Fauzi our work for some feedback and help in what direction we needed to go to. FINAL PROJECT Figure 1.0 Inspiration for poster These were the chosen posters that I decided to use for inspiration and reference for my own. I really liked the colors and composition from each of them which I hoped to translate into my work. I planned to use a picture of myself and to include elements from my interests. Figure 1.1 Sketches I then moved on to draw out concepts of what I wanted. I came up with two possible ideas and after some feedback from Mr Fauzi, I went with his suggestion to use the second sketch. Figure 1.2 Digitalized sketches Over the next few weeks I worked on crea...
