Action essentials compositing and Pre Pro Planning

20/08/2020 

Today in class we went over compositing some Action essential stock footage for things like muzzle flashes and blood spatter.  we briefly touched on particle and light generation, which I think will be very useful for my project since it will be taking place in a city environment.

We also learned how to rotoscope however I was pretty happy with the floor removal for my shots so I just worked on keying out the garbage matte.

I feel like the storyboards I did for my initial proposal were clear and detailed, however I want to do a little more research into motion graphic design, as I feel the name plates could be themed better and could be more complex. I also want to be able to time them out so I feel a really basic animatic might be helpful. I don't want to put too much time into it as I could use that better for the final project but I think timing it out will be really beneficial. I also want to start looking into some music to time the video too, as I feel I will be able to create a better opening overall timed to the music.
