After Effects

Learning about Adobe After Effects in one of our lessons, allowed me to have a better understanding of how to use the After effects programme and how to create effective looking titles that link with our genere of film.

In the lesson we were given a simple tutoriaol on how to create a title for our film trailers using basic tools in After Effects . I used Cam studio to record the fil title I had created and show the effects I had used.

This is a screen shot of the name of our film which will be placed towards the end of the trailer. 

 

This was my practice/draft title in after effects, I then went onto create another After Effects title. I wanted to put an image behind the title 'Animus',  and then for the words to zoom in and only show part of the image.

 

 

I chose to use a piece of footage that was just the main characters eyes, but showing no emotion and looking very distant. I then placed this behind the title 'ANIMUS'. I use various key frames to position the title over the eyes and then zoom and enlarge the scale of the font so that it only showed on eye.
