 ●Task Progress

Week 1 :
In this week, we got the instruction of this module and after that we're required to do task for clarifying the style we want to go through with. Also we've tried to make a video for exercising the compositing as a base skill.

Here's the youtube link I chosen for this document :




For the week 2 exercise, we're required to do compositing animation as learning the basic of motion graphics and compositing.
We needed to create from the element which is prepared already :

●Reflections

Experience:
I learned and practiced complex editing techniques in the process of producing promo videos. This improved my skills and confidence in video editing. Mention specific skills and tools. Examples include animation software, applying effects, audio editing, camera work, color correction, etc.

Observation:
Creating my first complex motion graphic with movement took a lot of time and brain power.
I found that the better I got at using nulls, the better the work turned out.

Findings:
Focus was placed on whether the promo video communicated the service or idea clearly, successfully captured the audience's attention, and met the promotional goals.
