On the first day of class, Mr. Mike briefed the module outline to us. Then, he started the lecture by showing us a comedic video about presentation. The video showed the common mistakes that people do when they are making presentation. Whether putting a bunch of words in the slides, or even the font choice. The point is, if the slides are not engaging, the audiences will get bored and not pay attention to your presentation.

Matte Painting
Matte paintings are one of the original VFX techniques used in filmmaking. Originally used in photography, matte paintings have evolved from painted glass panels to entire 3D digital worlds.
A matte painting is often a painted glass pane that is used to show a landscape or large set piece. Matte paintings are either filmed on set, where they are framed to look like a physical set piece, or they are combined with live footage in post production.
Georges Méliès used the matte painting technique in many of his films. In his 1898 film, Un Homme de Têtes – Four Heads Are Better Than One. A glass pane painted black is used to create a matte which kept light from reaching the camera.

Norman O. Dawn, an American film director used glass paintings in his 1907 film Missions of California. Since many of the scenes that Dawn was filming had been partially destroyed, he would use matte paintings to make the buildings look whole again.

Digital Matte Painting
As advancements we made technologically, matte paintings became digital renderings. While most motion picture productions have moved to blue and green screens, the techniques used by matte painters are still applied to modern filmmaking. The film industry created matte painting by using digital softwares such as Photoshop, Maya and After Effects. Compared to the traditional techniques, matte painting used in recent movies has significant development by using 3D design to create more realistic feel. The special effect in the movies are built in layers (each layer contains different effects).
