Okay, so today we were brought back into the visual effects suites in uni and were reintroduced to Adobe After Effects. It has been a while since I last did a project on After Effects. However, we (the group) managed to get back into the swing of things as we began warming up and refreshing our memories on tools, skills and shortcuts.
The main point of this workshop was to introduce us to the next unit for our term 2 professional toolkit. The brief is as follows;
It is your task to plan and deliver a title sequence for a major film or television series. A title sequence is a delicate balance between text and audiovisual aesthetics. One could argue that the function of a title sequence, as being a sequence of titles, is paramount. However, a title sequence is often a component of the narrative body and form of the film and must flow between scenes or adequately play on the excitement/trepidation of an audience – a gateway into the temporal space generated within that particular narrative construct. The work must fulfil particular aims:
1. The sequence must display a relevance to the program you choose.
2. The sequence must demonstrate an ambitious departure from the original title sequence.
3. You must construct all of the assets.
So, now we were debriefed we began with our first lesson into AE by creating and using text.
This was to show us how to animate text and manipulate and use appropriate font families, in order to create our piece. The final result of that day will be uploaded soon as currently, I am adding music to give it a finishing touch.
