Figure 1.1 Colours & Gradients
Week 5 (23/10/2024)
Week 6 (30/10/2024)
It was a public holiday so we did not have classes for this week. We were to focus on our Task 2 composition because this week is the deadline for this task.
Task 2: Composition
In this task, we were to create a background with a suitable composition based on the story of our character to further narrate our character in depth.
1. Character

Figure 2.1 Process (31/101/2024)
Firstly, I improvised the visual of my vormator character (Nova) as I thought it did not look fierce and scary enough. I only did subtle changes such as the eyes and adding a weapon for my character. This is the improvised version of my vormator character (Nova).
2. Pokemon Card

Figure 2.3 Pokemon Card Design Process (31/10/2024)
After that, I started to make the Pokemon card template, I referred to the card design of an electric type Pokemon for the colour schemes, surprisingly they use yellow for electric type Pokemons so I decided to use the same colour. I added gradients to my card design to make it look like its glowing and wrote a short description for my character's abilities.
3. Mood Board, Sketches & Rationale
Figure 2.4 Mood Board, Sketches & Rationale (1/11/2024)
This is a compilation of all my mood board, sketches and rationale for my composition. I also referred to 'Framed Ink' book after receiving feedbacks as I was not that clear about compositions. I have used few of them based on my understanding and they helped me a lot in creating a composition.
4. Process
Figure 2.5 Composition Process (1/11/2024)
I have captured my process (most of it). I used tools such as gradients, glow, blur and etc to further enhance the elements. I also explore placement to put the 'Oni mask' to decide on a suitable placement for the composition.

Figure 2.6 Close Up Details (1/11/2024)
This is 1 of the close up details. In the image, I increased the Gaussian blur radius for further elements to make them look far away. Example: The flames have subtle blur but the further skulls near the mountains and mountains looks way blurry compared to the flames.
5. Final Composition

Figure 2.9 Pokemon Card (1/11/2024)
After some feedbacks and changes, I have completed my composition and Pokemon card along with a brief description of my character's (Nova) abilities. I decided to go with the original Pokemon card design because it is old but gold.
Week 5
After I showed Mr Hafiz my sketch and mood board. Because it was coloured, he asked me to just sketch out with outline first as in B&W. I should also refer to the 'Framed Ink' book to further demonstrate the understanding of the composition and shot setup that will work for the narrative of my environment.
Week 6
I did some changes according to Mr Hafiz's feedbacks last week and sent him a finalisation of my composition to get some feedbacks before submission. He mentioned that overall compositon and perspective is clear and okay but I can tighten it up as there were empty spaces.
