Task 1 - Short Horror Clip

To my first draft of the clip I used that to work with to add effects over the Images downloading copyright free effects from cute stock footage.com and downloaded 2 effects which I overlaid on top of each other. A circle bubble effect and a horror grunge effect which creates the horror theme to my mini clip, also i added layer effects playing about with the opacity to get the effect i wanted to create. To overlap the images to create a smooth transition between the changing of the images I adjusted the opacity of images as well as adding key frames. Found this really helpful and loved the final short clip. (Shown Below)

Task 1 - Short Horror Clip

For our first Adobe after effects session we used 10 images which had to be opened as a film and documentary file on Photoshop at the size HDTV 1080p/29.97 save it as a jpeg in the project assets folder. After my images were in line I then found a short backing track to play alongside with my images, I tried to find something with a beat so my images could change as the beat drops to which I then had to add more pictures to match the beat. I used a copyright free soundtrack from royalty free music.

Manchester Christmas advert 2014 from Kilogramme on Vimeo.

A festive small animation clip I liked specifically on my city i chose Manchester. It shows the different activities and places available which can help me in able to do further research. I love the technique of the moving images to show the different locations and atmospheres around the city it brings a friendly, exciting and adventurous atmosphere to the animation.

First session of After effects we were told to create a Vimeo account and were given our brief to create a short 10 second clip at the end of two sessions. As research and inspiration as well as trying to get familiar with Vimeo I searched up City in flux and saw this which I was inspired by. This Inspired me with the idea of photography, light painting to show movement and life.
