Final!

After all that, all we had to do was do our final animation on this topic. It took late nights and missed meals to finish it, but at last it was done! Hurray for group 8!

Final sketches

After the 50 sketches that our group produced, we had to come up with a select 5 sketches to be used for our artwork.

But in the end, we chose this as our final outwork. Yay!

Sketches

After we had the mind map and theme approved by the lecturer, sketches had to be done on it so we can get one step closer to finishing our project.

Before that, we did the random word technique to help us produce more creative sketches. Quite a lot of random things came out and some proved to be more of a challenge to draw on. But we made it work :D

So here are the sketches!

Rose's

Radhi's (Our very own upcoming artist :D)

Mine (Amira :P)

Dyera's

Airin's

Mind map of Creative Multimedia

We had to start thinking up of ideas for our final project, and so we did a mind map on the subject of Creative Multimedia to see if that would jolt any ideas out of us :D

When that was done, we narrowed it down to a more specific topic, and what better topic than money? One of the most wanted thing in the world, so we chose that as the theme of our project 

Here's the mind map that we made on the topic

From here, we had to make an essay about our selected topic

Lesson 5 ~ Random Word / Image Association

Random word and images association is basically a method of generating ideas that are unique. From a random word or image, it can trigger other images or words that can be evolved into a new creative idea.


So we were asked to think of something that would give of danger signals to other people in order to prevent them trespassing over an area. Think like radioactive, fatal death if you enter kind of places. Then we were given a random word.


KITTENS


um... doesn't paint such a scary picture does it? But then after applying the random word / image association, I manage to come up with a few suggestions. (Doesn't mean it'll make any sense or be any use at all in the real world of course XP)


Idea generating...

1st idea - Having metal claws attached all over the forbidden area so that no one can enter safely.

2nd idea - Having speakers set up so that they let out very loud cat noises. Hissing, snarling, the works.

Part 2 - Juxtaposition

Then we were asked to write a passage on Love based on "chilli"

(I think my brain's gonna be paralyzed from the cheesiness  ><)


Pelita or oil lamp for the concept of "Life"

An oil lamp is like life

If you have substance in your life, the more plentiful it will be just like a lamp needing oil to continue to burn

Just like a flame, life can be gone in split second by a fatal blow

And even though people may have different cases or looks, in the end we're all made of the same thing

Kitten for the concept of "Happiness"

A kitten is like happiness, sometimes hard to find

But once sighted, can warm a heart to the core

The same innocence as a search for happiness

While cradling it in your arms it provides comfort even if it's just a while

Mortar and pestle for the concept of "Man or Woman"

Mortar and pestle, either one can be the woman or the man

But without each other, they are incomplete

Without one, the other would lose reason of existence

Only together they are strongest 

Lesson 4 ~ Juxtaposition

Searched Google for the definition on Juxtaposition and this is what I found

• the act of positioning close together (or side by side); "it is the result of the juxtaposition of contrasting colors"
• a side-by-side position

and even...

• A placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side, often done in order to compare/contrast the two, to show similarities or differences; An absence of linking elements in a group of words that are listed together; Two or more contrasting sounds, registers, styles etc. ...

Which aside from the pretentious language, seemed to be clear enough, though admittedly only became clear after a few more re-reads. 

And naturally it would come with several types juxtaposition..

The first being 

Similes-Using "like" or "as". Example, as blind as a bat. This part is pretty basic english essays stuff..

Metaphors-Does not use "like" or "as" but instead comparing 2 things with some similarities. 

Logical analogy-Comparison of the body structure and function of something with another. Example, the bird is compared to the airplane as both can fly in the sky.

Affective analogy-A description of something that is usually animal based. Very straight to the point.

Then we had to do a juxtaposition exercise which involves choosing random pairs of numbers   and creating a something out of the words that matched the pairs of numbers that we have chosen. 

This is no 18 - Flower Wood and no. 25 - Lightning Root

And lastly, no 92 -  Leave Rock

And don't worry about the drawings, they're usually that bad XP
After that we we were asked to draw a combination of two animals. Needless to say, that came out with some... interesting creatures..


So came up with my own combinations, the one on the left being a giraffe + rooster = Gooster?
and rabbit + elephant = Raphant? XD
