Task 4
Fig 1.1 Compositing
Before having the screen records of the app flow, i was planning the composition of each scene, graphics to be used, font size and colour, to make sure the entire layout matches.

For this scene, I wanted to make the logo jumped out from the screen and transition to the motion graphic part.

Reflection
Experience
I was suffering a lot with the composition of the entire layout, how does the text should look and placed, the phone placement and angle, the background, the overall animation of each scene. Then, I started making the text animation while waiting for the screen record of the app flow. Thankfully, I had my teammates providing me opinions and suggestions, I was more confident with my designs then. Overall, it was a great experience for me to experience different kind of motion graphic style, it was actually different from my usual style, which is actually more fun and creative. I have always thought that I am not good at composition, especially when comes to putting many elements together in a layout. That's why, i normally opt for a clean and neat composition which sometimes can be boring. With the help of my teammates, Jamie, she is good at doing collage photos, So i took some inspiration from her part, and applied on my scenes, I guess i just needed more inspiration and research. After this project, I realised I have to leave my comfort zone in order to create more creative designs.
Observation
When the video is done, I realized that implementing colours and graphical elements in the video really does strengthen the brand identity making it recognisable to the audience. Besides, incorporating these elements also enlighten the mood of the audience, capturing their attention.
Findings
Maintaning consistency throughout the video is important too. The art style for the graphic elements must be aligned with our brand style. At first, I did the magnifying glass with highlights and shadow but after going throught he video, i remembered that our art style is more line art and vector style, so i removed the highlight. The detailing is very important, it may seem a small problem, however, in a desginer's eye, it will definitely be the most obvious and the first thing they see.
