personal branding, makes it easy for ppl to identify ur videos
keep on experimenting
engage with audience
incorporate trends in ur video (effects, sounds, hashtags)
keep it simple (60secs is the best, 1st 30 secs is crucial - straight to point), hold it upright (vertical), be consistent (uploading time must be consistent), make good quality content (consider location, lighting, use natural light, include subtitles)), use cross-promotion (share tiktok to other social media, so can get extra engagement), be well equipped (be prepared in term of mentally & physically)

making filters on tiktok - effect house



EXERCISE

WEEK 01

✧ We were briefed about what to expect in this module. First up, we have to think of 3 initial ideas of an AR filter, research on existing filters and see which one peeks our interest

Fig 1.1 Draft ideas of AR filter 
✧ After consulting with sir I decided to go with the idea of having the theme of "Malaysia or Merdeka". The general idea was to have a filter where the players can sing along to the Malaysia patriotic song and finish the emptied out part of the song. Sort of like a fill in the blanks kind of interactive game but it is filling up the blanked part of the song.

✧ I begin creating elements for the filter in Ai.

✧ Sir suggested to have more of a malaysian feel to the wordings as the original wordings sounded more western looking. So our malaysian slang was added into the final version for example, the "Aiyo Cuba Lagi" wording.

✧ Once all elements were completed I went on to create the filter in Effect House.

✧ I was able to add the basic headline for this however I was faced with some difficulties in creating the interactive part

✧ In the following image Fig 1.8. I used the advance setting in Effects house where there is the exact file for me to create and change it to what i have created. However once again i was faced with uncertainty and could not do it.

✧ I referenced a few youtube videos on how i can execute the idea:
✧ The end result... is very weird


✧ With this in mind I decided to stop this project and start a new project as this current project is not going anywhere.

✧ Staying in the Malaysia theme, I decided to create a filter to help with spread the malaysia culture with our malaysian traditional clothing.

Fig 2.1 New Elements #1
✧ In Fig 2.1 half of the elements i did was of malaysian clothing and half of it was on malaysian tourism. Which got me thinking. They are more posibilities when it comes to malaysian tourism. Hence the project direction was changed once more.

✧ Final filter idea: Malaysian tourism by having a randomiser that helps you choose where u can go when you're feeing bored!

FEEDBACK

Week 02
✧ After looking through my initial ideas, Sir mentioned the Negaraku idea is good. But we do not have the capability or tools to track how the public would sing/ say out the correct lyrics. Idea can be altered.

Week 09
Merdeka theme
sir mentioned all of my ideas is okay as august is nearing. however sir still like the idea of the audience singing to the song while they try to finish the song. However we can see how the research will come up as. 




REFLECTIONS

Experience 
It was a completely new experience for me as I have not been exposed to filter making before. The workings of Effect House was also quite confusing to me especially the scripting portion. There were countless struggles as documented above where by even with tutorial videos could not really solve it as I dont know where exactly went wrong.

Observations
There were significantly less tutorials that are specific and detail basing off Effect House as a media as compared to Spark Ar. I think it might also be because Effect House is under tiktok and its quite new. I saw some videos showcasing how to create filters on the phone app that were relatively easier as there was no scripting used. 

Findings
During the TIkTok talk event, it was an eye openner for me to know that the speaker mentioned that one freelance tiktok filter is about rm8k. Which was a lot!
