Week 1 - VSP
In this week's lecture class, I was unfortunately unable to attend it as I was traveling back from my summer exchange program at Southern Denmark University during the August semester break. I managed to go through and study the lecture slides for this week and here is the compilation of my notes:
1) To create a story, some pre-production preparations are needed such as idea development, story planning, storyboard arrangement, research on visual references, location planning for the production, and the props to be used. (Figure 1)
2) In the production sector, some equipment covering lighting, principal shooting, and costumes are very important to be considered. (Figure 2)
3) A team of editors is required in the post-production process which includes offline editing, online editing, and audio editing. (Figure 3)

In week 1's task, we were given a few things to do as listed below:

Firstly, as a content creator covering both the photography and videography aspects, I have always indulged myself in various content from famous and professional creators. Some of my favourites cover actual street stop motions, Lego stop motions, and clay model stop motion short videos. I have listed my top 3 favourites here:

Figure 6. Everyday Object Stop Motion
3) Lego Shopping - by MICHAELHICKOXFilms
Figure 7. Lego Stop Motion
In these 3 stop motion videos that I have shortlisted, I found many aspects to be very interesting, intriguing, and of course, very high quality that the stop motion frames are well put together to create a seamless transition between every shot. In the street stop motion video, most of the shots are not conventional and are very creative, leaving viewers in awe and questioning how the shots and editing are made. The everyday object stop-motion video is the one that brings us closer to relate to it because everyday objects are used. What makes it more fascinating is that the creator is able to utilise these everyday objects in creative stop-motion shots. In the Lego stop motion video, I was very fascinated by the effort, professionalism, and creativity that the creator put into the shooting of this stop motion video. I was already well invested in watching other MICHAELHICKOXFilms videos at a very young age.
In this week's class exercise, we were given a set of videos to be arranged in the Adobe Premiere Pro software. This is to allow to to be familiar with the timeline feature in the editing software. My attempt in this exercise is compiled below:
