This group assignment was a title sequence. My group had agreed upon using two of the group member's movie, which is Midnight. We were inspired by a scene in Man from Uncle and a bit of other action movies such as Fast and Furious and Drive since the story of the movie is about a driver.

The Final Video:

The initial idea for the video was something like this:

and then it changed to this:

and finally it became this:

Environment Look and Feel

I added a bullet counter and player life to the UI of the game

Minions

Here is the link to my prototype in inVision for better view of the app I created.

new search bar design, the exit is on the left hand side

Size menu to see how it would be designed

Not available features so that people would know that it'll be coming soon in the real things

Added new pages such as the home, my account, my saved, checkout, thank you page and my bag. It was a bit tough coming up with certain pages like the checkout page, my account and my bag because I didn't know what to put at first, but after referencing some other similar pages on other apps, it is quite straightforward.

checkout

my account

my bag

my saved

I had made some micro interactions using After Effects. It is quite a process where you have to export it as a video, and then import to Photoshop and export it as a gif. What I dislike about this process is that if the page needs minor tweaking or updating, I would have to reimport to Photoshop and it repeats. So, in order to avoid that, I had make sure before exporting it as a video on After Effects, that there are no minor things that need to be fixed. However, mistakes happen and nobody is perfect, so there is really no way around it. It is a trial and error process.

Here are some of the gifs that I made.

Here is the link to my prototype in inVision for better view of the app I created.

Text UI
Private = can't be affected by other scripts

void Awake = similar to start but it will be processed first before the start.

++ incremental, add one
-- minus one

Instatiate (what, where.position,where.rotation) as Rigidbody;

transform.right (moving to the right)

public float

The term public will make it adjustable on the Unity inspector meaning that we can change the value there instead of in the C# script.

For the variable float, we would need use the a decimal value and end with f.

/* multi land command */

// single line command

print (check console)

Variable types

int = integer (whole numbers)

bool = boolean (true or false)

string = collection of characters

Arithmetic Operators

+ Addition

- Subtraction

* Multiplication

/ Division

Comparison Operators

== is equal to

! = not equal to

> larger than

< less than

> = larger than or equal to

<= less than or equal to

Switch Statement

switch (weapon)

{

case 1:

print ("You found life");

break;

case 2:

print ("You found nothing");

break;

case 3:

print ("You found greatness");

break;

default:

print ("You found ______ ");

break;

}

default is used when there's nothing else

Naming Convention

FirstCapital: Function

secondCapital: Variable

void: function

start (at the start of the game)

update (every frame in the game)

custom (); to execute play/use it.

call upon by key (Input Manager)

if (Input. GetKeyUp ("space")) {

custom ();

}

Vector 3 (x,y,z)

This was done using the element 3D plugin. This can help for our title sequence assignment. 3D helps make a footage more realistic.

This exercise basically makes a still image alive as if it was a video by using as if there is camera movement. This is achieved by using the grid, camera and light. The grid is used to identify which is the floor, the sky, the left side, and the right side. Then the light would vary according to the layer, whether to cast shadow, accept shadows, accept light and etc.

Here is the result:

*one of the three tries we did in class. but this picture is my favorite :D
