Week 1: An Introduction

Within our first class we were introduced to the subject and what would be covered throughout the semester. We are to create a Title Sequence to compliment the short video we will be creating in Advanced Design Research, We were shown a number of examples from the industry and previous students. I have to say I am quite excited to learn After effects and if it wasn't for this class I don't think I would have ever given film a go. An example of a title sequence that I find completely captivating is the opening credits to " Enter the void" by "Gaspar Noé "


I believe this title sequence works as it captivates the viewer through the almost seizure like characteristics.

As an exercise in Jodie's half of the class we were asked to create a storyboard in which 8 words appear and a short story is told. I chose to take a sinister approach using a quote from one of my other Lecturers " Keith Davis" being 'Wanna get somewhere in life make some noise'. Using my Girl friend as the subject matter.
We were then asked to film or shoot photos to create this storyboard within after effects. The more I learn about this program the more interested I become.
