Reflection on week 7 lecture

This week's lecture explained about the "track view" function on CryEngine. This is used to create cinematic scenes by setting up cameras, sequences and other effects. We were also told about a 3D visual programming language called Grasshopper, which is similar to the nodes and flow graphs used in CryEngine. Russell mentioned that familiarity with this software is sought after in the field of architecture.

Reflection on week 6 lecture

The lecture was on "movement", showing examples of movie trailers. Some examples of dramatic movie trailers shown were that of Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" and Steven Speilberg "Jaws". These trailers are made to give viewers a taste of the full length feature and often only a few minutes in length. I will use a similar dramatic short video to create a trailer for my island in CryEngine. We were also told about the new version of CryEngine which was just recently released.
