TASK 10: After Effects

As films conventionally include the studios logos before the film, we decided to create our own. To do this we used After Effects, which is industry-standard in creating logos and compositions. Despite practicing with After Effects in AS, we found it difficult to understand and it took a while to get some ideas created. We decided to add an animated background with text that transitioned in, as we felt this was the most aesthetically pleasing. After exporting we decided to import it into Premiere, where we added a sound effect. When this was finalised we added it to the beginning of our short film.

We also used After Effects to create the title of our film for the Poster, as it allowed us to generate a smoke effect to go behind the text which we wanted. However, rather than exporting this as a .mov, we exported it as a .jpeg because it was inanimate.
