Modify the symbol in the library. 
The graphics can have a keyframe added to them.

Using a mask
Two layers: a mask and clipped content.
To animate the size of the mask, use Shape Tween.

Week 6 & 7 

A clip from a movie
A certain amount of frames on the main timeline are not necessary for a movie clip to function. 
The primary timeline of the movie clip contains a nested timeline.

Make a Button

Task 2: Interactive Design Planning and Prototype 

As part of this assignment, we had to work on their visual design and begin organising the interactive features and design elements of their website. When it comes to interactive design with animations, unlike standard static websites, the strategy should include both the animation example or reference and the layout graphics. To illustrate the intended concept, students can create their own animation or a user-reference animation.

Requirements: Walkthrough video outlining the strategy and providing references and/or samples of the animation.
Links to any resources used in the plan's creation can be found in online posts that serve as your reflective studies in your e-portfolio. (For example, a connection to Miro, Figma, etc.)

Review on task 1 

I completed the wireframes for assignment 1 earlier, and Mr. Shamsul said that while it was already clean, I could make some improvements to the design page to make it stand out.

Preview from Task 1 Wireframe Ideation Week 04 

First, I reviewed the user flowchart and decided to retain the original one, as my mentor noted that it was clean and clear.

User Flow Chart Week 04

I've now developed the page's concept and structure. Finding and finalising the assets I would utilise is the next stage.

Finding and Creating Assets 

I chose a photographic technique to evoke nostalgia, mild romantic feelings, and Eastern aesthetics, as stated in Task One. I mostly looked through pictures on Pexels and Pinterest for sourcing materials. A summary of everything I collected is shown below.

About (General Description)
In the Mood for Love is a 2000 romantic drama directed by Wong Kar-wai. It follows two neighbors, Mr. Chow and Mrs. Chan, who discover that their spouses are unfaithful. As they spend time together, they form a deep emotional bond—but remain bound by social rules and personal restraint.

Unlike conventional love stories, the film portrays desire and intimacy through what is left unsaid—quiet glances, small gestures, and moments of silence.

FEEDBACK 

Week 9

- Should Add more icon and signs to guided the audience to follow and go though the website that improve the website interactive effect. 

Overall the prototype looks nice already, you can start to move into adobe animate.

REFLECTIONS

This project was enjoyable and challenging to work on. I learnt a lot, particularly when creating the wireframe. I also learnt new things by continuing to experiment with other layout styles. The difficult thing is that I have to make sure that the wireframe I created has the potential to be developed in Adobe Animate when we eventually need to build this.

This subject taught me that before moving on to wireframes, we must have a solid concept and framework. An essential component of it is the user flow chart, which should be completed before moving on to the content prototype. Confusion during the design phase can be caused by an inadequate foundation.
