2/6 investigation

-


This week I did my investigation on closed captions. Closed captions are text versions of the spoken part of a television, movie, or video. It was developed to aid hearing impaired people, but can also be helpful in other ways. For example, captions can be read when audio can’t be heard, either because of a noisy environment, such as a construction site, or because of an environment that must be kept quiet, such as a library. In our world today, a lot of streaming platforms include closed captions as an option to be turned on or off, such as YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, etc. It is typically abbreviated as the letters “CC.” 

Closed captions can also be used to translate a foreign language. However, instead of of calling them closed captions, they are often referred to as “subtitles.” Many people use subtitles when the speakers of a film are speaking a language that the viewer does not speak. For example, anime is universally loved by people all around the world. Since Japanese is not spoken by all anime fans, often times they will watch the film with subtitles on.





K-drama, another television category is also loved by many people around the world due to the rise of K-Pop. Normally, when watching anime, you also have the option watch the show in dubbed where the dialogue is replaced with a voiceover of a variety of foreign languages that match up with the mouth movement of the characters. In the case of real life films, it is sometimes awkward and unpreferred to watch the show in dubbed, so subtitles are mostly used to help the viewer understand what is going on. 

Personally, I also think that subtitles can help people who have a short attention span. Sometimes when I watch a movie, I tend to doze off and forget about what is going on the scene. However, when I watch films with subtitles on, I tend to be more focused because I have something to keep me on track. 

In my video that I am working on, I am going to use subtitles for my radio man. To do this, I am going to use the text option in after effects to type in the script of the radio man, and change the lines of phrases every time the radio man switches to a different line in the script.

  After going through the Themes in Art pdf, the theme that I'm going to explore and focus on this year is going to be the concept of Art and Fantasy. I chose this theme because I believe that there are many different ways that you can display fantasy through videos because of how broad and diverse of a genre that it is. A couple of examples being an individual vs society, man vs nature, good vs evil, etc. Another reason why I’m choosing the topic of fantasy is because it is one of my favorite genres of films to watch, from Studio Ghibli classics to folktales and traditional motifs. Fantasy is a super limitless topic and you can create basically anything out of it with your imagination. I’ve had an interest in digital art ever since the start of middle school, and I’ve had a lot of experience from graphic designing to video editing. This was also around the same time when I discovered fandoms on Instagram that created fan edits out of anime and kpop. Watching these videos inspired ...

Since I finished my Five Nights at Freddy's inspired video, I have decided to move on to a different project. However, due to the amount of time that we have left in the school year, I want to work on something small and simple. Whenever brainstorming for ideas, I thought of doing a "customize your character" where I would draw a character and make it seem like someone is changing their appearance and outfits. This is usually what people do when they start a new game that requires them to customize their personal character. An example of it would look something like this. However, I would obviously put my own twist and style on it. The art  style that I want to use will also be inspired by the mobile game called "Animal Restaurant." The appearance of the art style looks very simple and clean, which is exactly what I want to go for when drawing my character. At the beginning, I will also include a title screen just like my other previous projects to make it seem ...

Investigation: Pixel art is a form of digital art where images are created on a pixel level. The aesthetic for these kinds of art come from 8-bit and 16-bit video games. An example of a pixel art would be this picture: Instead of having round edges, the image looks like it is created by using small squares. To incorporate pixel art into my video, I want to create pixelated objects on photoshop to use in my video. To do the is, I have found a few youtube videos that will guide me through the process. Work Log:  Monday: I had trouble exporting my image as a png from photoshop because when I resized the image, it decreased the resolution of my pixel art. Tuesday: I found a fix to my problem from Tuesday and successfully exported my image. I then went on youtube to find some video game sound effects and came across this video. It has a lot of different 8-bit gaming sounds that I can use in my video. Wednesday: I worked on my video in after effects Thursday: I worked on my video in afte...
