stage 2.2 - progressing and changed thoughts. *
after the eventful comment and defend session, it brought me to sit down and think about the entire storyline and plot of the assignment again after realising that discovering exact similarities between two different individuals was hard..
but.. supei's comment really made me feel so much better with the quote she left during the session, 'it is the similarities that brought us together, but it is the differences that made us grow'.. it was really inspiring..
through some consideration, i decided to work with how TWO separate individuals.. with TWO different mindsets and destinies could come together to live and walk through the journey of life as ONE.. the two become one thingy.. (:
here's my storyboard.. ^^

where the ferris wheel signifies fullness as it travels through a complete circle that never comes to an end.. i decided to deploy the idea into this assignment..
i did try to take a picture of the ferris wheel but it was kinda hard to obtain a nice and romantic view of the singapore flyer.. besides, i'm afterall not a professional photographer.. =x
so graphics will be used instead..
to me, LOVE should be cheerful and bubbly.. sweet yet fun-loving.. the very fairytale-like kind of thing.. so i would use relatively more delicious, sweet and pleasant colours to arouse that cute emotion from the entire clip..
with all this in mind, i worked into deciding which photos to use and what else do i have to take in order to complete the entire assignment.. planned for several locations and things but.. afterall, i wanted it more natural than something that was literally planned for in our photographs.. so more random shots shall be used..
so while i have the remaining time before our next photoshot session this weekend.. i rendered upon some songs.. once again, i wanted so much to emphasize the sweet, romantic feel.. while not neglecting the cute and fun-loving component..
and i finally decided to use this royalty free contemporary piece by uniquetracks.. called 'two hearts' from orchestral fundamentals.. however, i would have to lengthen the song duration if it's too short for my clip as it is only 2 mins long..
listen to it.. (:
that's probably like the easier part of this all.. the tough part is where i have to really learn how to use the several adobe softwares like overnight.. which i kinda have NO-IN-DEPTH knowledge of.. hee.. but well.. learning the wonders of it all.. it was pretty fun and enjoyable to a certain extend..
photoshop for the photo editing..
illustrator for the vector graphics creation..
after effects for the video piecing and editing..
and last but not least,
premium pro for the audio extension..
so much is learnt in one single assignment.. although it wasn't very in depth learning.. but it was pretty amazing to have been able to come in contact with all the softwares to create some visual elements.. (:
coming on the way, the script for the video..
