Arrival : Unknown

Arrival: Unknown is a title sequence project for the film Arrival, which follows a linguist's journey to uncover the purpose behind an alien visit to Earth. Unlike typical alien films, Arrival withholds the full appearance of the extraterrestrials and their true intentions until the very end.
Learning Outcomes:
In this project, I learned how to create a sequence using photography, a material I had never worked with before. I realized that compared to 3D or illustration work, photography offers more flexibility for testing different ideas and allows for greater ease in capturing intricate details. This gave me a deeper understanding of its advantages in visual storytelling.
