Before we began any practical VFX work, we researched into various factors that have influenced the VFX Industry as a whole. This includes research into both modern and historical techniques, which were compiled into various videos.
The first area of interest is cinematography and compositional elements. Cinematography is all about conveying a story visually to an audience, which can be done in a variety of different ways. Because there are so many different ways of doing this, some viewers may interpret scenes in other ways.
The second video is about how Visual Effects as a film-making tool has evolved over time. Relating to Virtual Production, Unreal Engine is something that students at Nescot are taught to use.
The final video is a Case Study on various scenes, with research into how they achieved their results. I chose to analyse the Daemons from His Dark Materials, and the mermaids from Siren.
