During the second week, we were tasked with creating a kinetic typographic lyric video using After Effects editing software as a group. The song our group chose is 'Centuries' by Fall Out Boy, suggested by Mabuchi Arata. The song was chosen through a poll among 7 other songs.
Afterwards, we created a mood board for our lyric video using Pinterest and decided on the color palette and font by using the same decision method when we chose the song. In the end, we went with my suggestion for the color palette and Adifa's suggestion for the font.

Afterwards, we had a group meeting discussing about the lyric distribution. We split parts according the song structure, which is the verses and chorus, while also considering the amount of lines.
With everything decided, we proceeded to create the lyric video. I created my part of the kinetic typography in After Effects.

FEEDBACK
Week 4:
Mr. Martin commented: "So far is so nice! Just typo I think, is century or centuries?"
REFLECTION
The group project was challenging, not only because of the time constraint of 1 week, we had to work as a team, which meant the animation needed to be even. We should have discussed the animation style more, and the result ended up inconsistent; as the group leader, that fault lay on me. I wish many things could have been done differently; this shows that communication in a group is essential. My leadership skills still need improvement. I need to learn how to make my groupmates participate in group discussions more. Even with the number of regrets, what I can do now is learn from my mistakes and not repeat them again for the final project.
Besides that, I find the animation graph and vector animation fun to do :3
