Week 1
Real Vehicle Physics And Movement
Real Vehicle Physics And Movement
A car accelerates forward because the wheels are in contact with the road. As the wheels spin, friction between the road and tire offer resistance to the tire spinning in place. As a result, the tires push backwards on the road and the reactionary force (Newton's 3rd law) of the road pushing forward on the tires.
On any object, there are usually multiple forces acting.
Newton’s 1st law of motion states that an object will stay at rest or continue at a constant speed unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force.
Newton's First Law of Motion (Inertia) An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
Newton's Second Law of Motion (Force)
Newton's Third Law of Motion (Action & Reaction)
Theatrical (film) vehicle movement and physics
Theatrical (film) vehicle movement and physics
The vehicle movement and physics will looks more unreal in theatrical.
Films have gradually created a different sense of reality perception and the suspension of disbelief so essential to theatre in what ever medium.
People are “pushed through” walls into rooms where action is taking place and you suspend disbelief and accept it, even though it is irrational to believe that you and the entire audience have actually passed through a solid wall. You are transported from the footpath outside a multi story building, and up onto the roof tops or out over the city landscape, and then dropped into an intimate conversation between two characters nestled in the bushes in central park, this you accept without question.
When it comes to a scene inside a moving car, you are in a space so well known and so commonplace, that your suspension of disbelief is tested by your own personal experiences. A little voice in your psyche tells you “This guy isn’t really driving this car,” and you become, perhaps only for a fraction of a second, aware of the camera and the artifice, but this is enough to arrest the process of suspended disbelief.

Social issues and their portrayal in storytelling
Social issues and their portrayal in storytelling
A social issue is some problem or concern connected to a larger issue that affects society in general. Often, the social issues brought forward in fiction reflect contemporary concerns in the author's own world. This type of issue in literature often shows up as a theme that affects the plot and outcome of the story.
Week 2
Social issues Film&Animation
Social issues Film&Animation
A Silent Voice is a 2016 Japanese animated coming of age psychological drama film[4] based on the manga of the same name by Yoshitoki Ōima.
The film covers elements of coming of age and psychological drama, dealing with themes of bullying, disability, forgiveness, mental health, suicide, and friendship of opposite sexes. It follows the story of a former bully turned social outcast, who decides to reconnect and befriend the deaf girl he had bullied years prior.
A Silent Voice explores the endemic relationship between disability and depression through its two protagonists — Shouko, a deaf girl ostracized since childhood, and her middle school bully, Shoya, who feels incredible guilt from his past actions and unspeakable treatment of Shouko.
A Silent Voice
A Silent Voice
A Silent Voice utilizes symbolism within its scenes and characters in order to bring awareness of these complex processes to American audiences. The most prominent symbol in the movie is the “X” over the faces of Shoya’s peers. The meaning here is obvious — it serves as a visual representation of Shoya’s social inhibition and apparent disconnectedness from his world.
The climax of A Silent Voice is a depiction of how suicide becomes the alternative for many when living in society fails.
the cultural aesthetic used to present suicide in — in both suicide attempts, fireworks serve as the backdrop.
To the Japanese, fireworks are special, “exemplifying impermanence and transient beauty — a moment in time that will never come again”
Wonder (film)
Wonder (film)
Wonder is a 2017 American coming-of-age family drama film.
The film, which follows a boy named August Pullman or Auggie as his family calls him. with Treacher Collins syndrome trying to fit in.
Stereotyping of physical appearance is main discussions in this final project. It happens to the main character who suffered complicated health. The presence of stereotyping often leads to social discrimination.
Easy A (film)
Easy A (film)
Main Character as a particularly likable teen heroine whose white lie about going on a date with a college boy spreads like wildfire through her high school and takes on a life of its own.
Easy A is a fun-to-watch flick that manages to broach a whole host of relatable issues—including technology and cyberbullying, the destructive power of the rumor mill and teen sexuality—without losing its sense of humor.
Week 3
What is Social issues
What is Social issues
A social issue is a problem that affects many people within a society. It is a group of common problems in present-day society and ones that many people strive to solve. It is often the consequence of factors extending beyond an individual's control. Social issues are the source of conflicting opinions on the grounds of what is perceived as morally correct or incorrect personal life or interpersonal social life decisions. Social issues are distinguished from economic issues; however, some issues (such as immigration) have both social and economic aspects. Some issues do not fall into either category, such as warfare.
Week 4
Mise-En-Scène
Mise-En-Scène
Mise-en-scène, English: "placing on stage" or "what is put into the scene") is the stage design and arrangement of actors in scenes for a theatre or film production, both in the visual arts through storyboarding, visual themes, and cinematography and in narrative-storytelling through directions. The term is also commonly used to refer to single scenes that are representative of a film.
Mise-en-scène has been called film criticism's "grand undefined term." It has been criticized for its focus on the dramatic design aspects rather than the plot itself, as those who utilize mise-en-scène tend to look at what is "put before the camera" rather than the story.
The use of mise-en-scène is significant as it allows the director to convey messages to the viewer through what is placed in the scene, not just the content of the scene. Mise-en-scène allows the director to not only convey their message but also to implement their aesthetic, as such, each director has their own unique mise-en-scène.
Mise-en-scène refers to everything in front of the camera, including the set design, lighting, and actors, and the ultimate way that this influences how the scene comes together for the audience.
After Mise-en-scène research makes me understand that each shot needs to clarify how characters and scenes should be arranged in the scene to express the plot of the story.

Social Influences On Behavior
Social Influences On Behavior
Social influence is any change in behavior, emotion or thinking that other individuals cause, even if their presence is only imagined, expected or implied. It also includes the interpersonal processes that lead to behavior, emotion or thinking changes. In short, it's about how people change their minds.
Week 6
Lay Out
Lay Out
Layout in 3D animation plays a crucial role in the production pipeline.
Layout is the first stage in the 3D animation pipeline, following pre-production steps. It marks the transition from 2D animation to 3D.
After confirming the script, storyboard, and animatic, layout artists take over. Their task is to transform animatics, scenes, or sequences into shots.
Shots are planned and blocked out before animation and asset creation. Layout sets the foundation for camera angles, character/object staging, and overall composition.
Essentially, layout is about cinematography in the 3D world.
Week 7
How Does Bicycle Works
How Does Bicycle Works
A bicycle is made up of several components that work together to allow it to function properly. These components include:
Gears: Gears are an essential part of a bicycle and are responsible for changing the bike’s speed and resistance. They allow the rider to adjust the effort needed to pedal.
Handlebars: The handlebars are used for steering the bicycle. They provide control and stability while riding.
Brakes: Brakes are crucial for safety. They help the rider slow down or stop the bicycle by applying pressure to the wheels.
Pedals: Pedals are where the rider places their feet to propel the bicycle forward. They are connected to the bike’s crankset, which transfers the rider’s pedaling motion to the wheels.
Saddle: The saddle, or seat, is where the rider sits while cycling. It is designed for comfort and support during long rides.
Chain: The chain is an integral part of the bicycle’s drivetrain. It connects the pedals to the rear wheel, transferring power from the rider to the bike.
These components work together based on the fundamental principle of mechanics to allow a bicycle to function properly and provide an efficient means of transportation.
Week 8
Different Cameras in Maya
Different Cameras in Maya
By default, Maya has four cameras that let users view their scene in a panel: the perspective camera and the three orthographic cameras (side, top, front) that correspond to the default scene views. Look through these cameras (panels) as model, animate, shade, and texture objects. To switch among these cameras, open the Panels menu and select a camera from the Perspective or Orthographic submenu.
Social Issues Review Writing
Social problems are everywhere, from big to small, from society to the masses, from the outside to the heart. After searching and watching movies and animations, I mainly want to discuss the two social problems of bullying and disability.
In the movies I searched, the protagonists of A Silent Voice and Wonder were bullied and isolated because of their physical disabilities. The ridicule, indifference and behaviour of people around them were bullying just because the protagonist looked different. The bullying caused by "someone is different from us" in society is shown in the movie.
In A Silent Voice, from the perspective of the protagonist, the people around him have no appearance, and everyone has a cross on his face. This is caused by the protagonist's inner escape due to bullying. In the movie Wonder, the impact of bullying on him can be felt through the protagonist's own expressions and daily behaviour.
The bullying in the movie Easy A comes from "mental disability". The bullying caused by the protagonist's inner incompleteness and childishness and the bullying caused by his own behaviour make the protagonist look a little crazy.
Bullying is mostly caused by youth, because people have an incomplete understanding of society and do not think comprehensively about their behaviour and do not care whether their behaviour will affect and hurt others. Disability is something that cannot be chosen by birth, but bullying is something that people choose to do. In society, bullying can not only come from verbal and physical bullying, but also from indifference and misunderstanding. In Wonder, the protagonist has no close friends, and his classmates' innocent words and indifference to him and not playing with him are all forms of bullying. A Silent Voice also expresses the impact of bullying on the protagonist's thoughts and behaviours through the contrast of pictures and social culture. Japan is a country with a high suicide rate, and repression and bullying are rampant in society. The protagonist looks at the brilliant fireworks at the fireworks festival, but the back of the lonely person, the contrast between the two, combined with the saying in Japanese social culture that "fireworks are beautiful and short-lived, and the beauty that will never reappear", the protagonist's appearance facing the fireworks alone is also a kind of her inner desire for her life to never reappear under the beauty of fireworks. Easy A shows the appearance of bullying more in a daily and relaxed and funny atmosphere. The ubiquitous words from the Internet, the expressions and eyes of people in the camera, and the behaviour of the protagonist express the impact of Internet bullying and the thinking behaviour caused by mental disabilities on people.
Bullying will affect people's behaviour and psychology, and make people increasingly depressed, thus causing more other social problems. This negative social problem is still prevalent and ubiquitous. The behaviour of people who feel satisfied and have a sense of existence by bullying others needs to be taken seriously and corrected by everyone in order to be improved.
