During the third week, we started with the production phase of our ABFAB projects, we also worked on our pop task for the week where analysed how semiotics and colour are used in infographics around various types of media, and finally we also started to learn how we can do frame by frame animation using photoshop, where we did a small video with the 12 principles of animation.
The pop task we had to do a case study on semiotics where we show what we understood how signs with signifier and signified, can be used to deliver a complex messages using very simple shapes, forms, colours, motions, sounds and music. By seeing how motion graphics and other design mediums could use semiotics to enrichen its context and purpose.
Animating the frame by frame animation was my favourite of this week. Trying for the first time, it was very intuitive and powerful way of animating. And also we did an animation where we had to demonstrate the 12 principles of animation. It helped a lot with really getting hands on drawing introduction to animating bases. I enjoyed it so much, I decided to take it further, by learning more about animating and using adobe animate, where it allows to take it a step further with frame by frame animation, using vector drawing.
This week overall I could have advanced more with my production to have gotten better feedback on my work in progress, but im sure having taken the step to do frame-by-frame for my animation will add the missing piece to my short short. During this next week I will first finish my animation, and then add final sound effects and maybe consider a voice over.
