WEEK TWELVE: AFTER EFFECTS TAKE ONE

This week, I have decided to start having a look at adobe after effects, which is apparently the easiest way to edit movies and make animations.

As my current video editing skills are limited, I have been watching many youtube tutorials, and have created a video which was taken while I was on on holiday  recently, by cutting, combining and editing existing videos.


I have also decided that what I really want to achieve from my presentation is for people to really understand what connect is trying to do. I reached this conclusion after attempting to explain my concept to friends, classmates and my tutor, and having difficulty in explaining myself accurately. I have therefore, decided to use an informercial-style of expression, albeit still animated as an infographic.

One of the styles of presentation I prefer is "kinetic text", where words are show on screen at the same time as they are said, accompanied by some animations.  I like this style as it really ingrains the message in the viewers mind as it gives both auditory and visual cues.  I have watched some tutorials and experimented with this media, as shown below.



My next step for this week will be to have a look at a storyboard for my final presentation.
