Client

Monash University Studios

Duration of Project

3 Months

Programs Used

Illustration, Photoshop, After Effect

City of Spies is the title that introduces a sci-fi action detective film, the story about agent P is investigating the conspiracy of a chemical manufacturing organization that is planning to destroy the iconic Landmark 81 building of Vietnam. Monash University Studios required students will create a title sequence by combining multiple free images or your own images, choose music background and sound that fit with the main content.

The result I achieved in this project, I have collected many images of Landmark 81 in Vietnam and all of these images were taken by Vietnamese photographers. To increase the level of intrigue and mystery to the title sequence, I decided to use a black and gray color scheme. In addition, I use a red string that is always moving in all scenes to connect the story together. Overall, all images are uniform in color and sound quality suitable for each scene. However, the shortcomings that I think need to be improved are that the red string does not move smoothly and there are a few scenes where the content that needs to be conveyed is not clear.

This project received positive feedback from the tutors at Monash Studios because it met the project requirements and was completed using Photoshop and After Effects and I decided to choose this project to display in the Graduate Exhibition and I realised that many visitors feel exciting about my project.
