Unity

- Do all the parts belong to the same whole?
- Using similar elements and a coordinated layout can create a sense of harmony and    integrity.
- Conversely, variety adds interest through contrasting elements.

Balance

- Is the image visually balanced?
- Symmetrical structures bring a sense of tranquility; asymmetrical structures create              dynamism.

Movement

- Create a sense of movement through the arrangement of objects, the posture of figures,       or flowing elements (such as rivers).
- Guide the viewer's visual direction and rhythm.

Rhythm

- Similar to the rhythm of music, a "viewing rhythm" is formed through repetitive and varied visual elements.

Focus/Emphasis

- Guide the viewer's attention to the "most important part" of the image.
- Without a focus, the vision feels lost.

Contrast

- Strong contrast of light and dark or color can create a strong visual impact;
- Weak contrast gives a soft and calm feeling.


WEEK 3

Fig. 1.1, practical, week 3 (2025/10/7)

In this lesson, we progressed on the Part 1 task. During the class exercise, I created a short animation of rotating focus, hoping it might provide some inspiration.


FEEDBACK

When designing the focus animation, I had an inspiration. If we keep the center stationary and have other elements around it rotate multiple times, we might be able to create a great video dynamic effect.
