Music

The music i used for my motion graphics piece i found on a royalty free website. I then put the music into garageband and edited it how i wanted it so it could go with my own piece. I slowed it down slightly and gave it an extra verse of music so it would last for the whole piece.

The music i used is quite bouncy and playful which is the theme i am going for. I want the audience to be able to tell what genre of film it will be just by watching the title sequence. This is close to a typical rom com opening. The music is uplifting and gives a feel of a light hearted comdey.

After Effects Practice

Transition Practice

Here i played around with different transitions available or me to use in my production. You have to add a keyframe at the start and end of the piece for it to actually work.




Here i experimented with my logo.

Type Practice

Here i experimented with typography and how you can play around with it to make it fun. It was an attempt at kinetic typography but had no audio/music to synch it to.

After Effects Practice

Learning Layers

Here, i have created five different layers to see how i can use layer to my advantage.



I can hide any one of my layers by clicking the eye icon.



Here i played around with the timeline so that different layers come in at different times.

I then began to render my work

To do this i had to:



Add my piece to the render queue



I clicked on output to- this is to change where i saved the work and what type of file i wanted it to render as. I then clicked on module output - lossless to check the settings where correct and set to what i wanted.




Then all thats left is to click Render
