IOL week3: in class task

EXPERIMENT I: work with simple lines/scribbles only

aim: In this task, I tried to simulate the sound of the door switch with lines.

rationale: The lines in the middle of the screen change with the sound. These changes will match the characteristics of the sound at different stages.

method: I draw the sound wav frame by frame and try to simulate different sounds at each stage

out come: I'm happy with the outcome. But the sound and picture of the last scene are difficult to combine. There is a gap in the middle of the audio. I don't know how to use animation to fill it.

EXPERIMENT II: work with simple shapes only

aim: In this task, I tried to simulate the sound of the door switch with shapes.

rationale: When the door lock is opened in the corridor, an echo will be generated around it.

method: Use ghosting graphics to visualize the sounds.

out come: The ghosting shapes looks great. And I think it shows the echo really well.

EXPERIMENT III: work with a combination of lines and shapes.

aim: In this exercise, I tried to use emotion to visualize the sound.

ratonale: I start to think how I felt when I heard the door unlock and closing. Then I thought about my own experience. When I heard the sound of unlocking, I felt very nervous. So I want to express my fellings in this task

method: I use After Effect to make this animation. Because it's easier for me to change the shape of graphic in AE.

outcome: The picture is not rich enough. Unable to convey emotions well.
