Task 2
INSTRUCTIONS
For task 2 the name of the exercise is called Decisive Moment. We are
told to create a minimalist poster defining the decisive moment of the
scene from an existing narrative. Also we are expected to create a
looping animated gif of the design.
The first movie came into my mind is The Conjuring Universe movies. It
is a movie that I have been repeat watching a lot in my free time. There
are some scenes that came into my mind, the first scene was from the
first conjuring, the hide and clap scene. This scene shows the one of
the first encounter between the characters and the ghost. The second
scene that I wanted to brought up is the scene where Lorraine meets
Valak at the first time in the Conjuring 2. This is an impactful scene
because it is the first appearance and the encounter is needed later at
the end of the movie.
1st Idea: Hide and Clap Scene
2nd Idea: Lorraine meets Valak
I decided to go with the valak scene and started to sketch the overall
idea of the poster would look like. For the animation I am thinking of
creating the walk scene of the shadow like it is in the movie
scene.

After the sketch, what I did was to focus first on the minimalist design of Valak. So I did a sketch on the Valak face first then begin digitalizes it.

I am happy with the outcome of the minimalist Valak. So i move to the next
part on making the background.

I tried to create a minimalist design of the room from the scene and
removed some furnitures to keep the focus on the Valak itself. Also I
added the shadow of Valak like it is from the movie and the title of the
conjuring from the internet. After the review with Ms Anis and Ms
Jennifer, they had no comments and said I can proceed to the next step to
create the animation. Before the demo shown my Miss Jen I did testing for
the animation using the methods given in the Typography class, using
frames for the animations.

|
| Fig 1.9: Second Attempt (given 0.2s for each frame) |
After the second attempt I got to show the first animating tries to Ms Jen
and Ms Anis. The feedback was that, the walking animation of the shadow is
good. However, it is better to make the painting larger after the walking
animation, to show the face of Valak. Also, to clean up the moving parts
in the background and the white parts.
So what I did was creating more frames, I wanted it to be some kind of a
scare. So, I created a dimming effect using opacity, to create an effect
where the gif ends. Then to give the scare effect, I zoomed in only to the
face.

In the second progression, I removed the title because I wanted to be
shown at the end of the gif. So after the second progression, I moved on
to creating the end of the gif.
So this is the final draft of the poster animation. The feedback that was
given was it needs a tagline of the decisive moment or the movie itself,
other than that there are no comments towards the final draft of the
animation.
