I finished the proposal for my starter and got it signed off. I also did research for different effects that I could do in Adobe After Effects. I chose a couple that I wanted to do in my video that I'm making. The two effects that I'll be using are motion tracking text, and a custom lens flare that I will make. I made a storyboard to show the different shots and scenes that I wanted. After doing that I wrote a list of all the different shots. I put them in order of the way I wanted to cut from scene to scene. If you look you can see that in one I go from 10, 11, then back to 10, but when they go back its a different camera angle. I want to try this out because I watch a show called American Crime. They do this in parts of their show and it really stands out to me. It makes the scene more powerful. hopefully I can create the same effect. This week for me was more of an idea and research week. I watched videos to get an idea of how long it would take to complete these tasks. To me the text tracking looks pretty simple but I can't do that until I get the video. The lens flare you create separately and there are a lot of steps in making a flare so to get a hang of it I plan to spend the time after writing the blog to work on it. I also plan to spend Monday working on a couple versions of the flare working. I'm going to video over the weekend so along with working on the flare Monday I will also start cutting video. The videos attached at the bottom are the most informational about the subjects and I found the very helpful. I've been pretty busy this week. I've been sick this week and that's slowed me down quite a bit but I've been able to get the worked I needed to get done done. I spent a lot of the time looking at videos. I also spent a lot of my time working on the storyboard. The reason the story board took so long was because I wanted to think I get good shots. By good shots I mean I didn't want every single part of the video to be from one or two camera views, that gets boring. When you mix up the camera angles I think it looks good and it's more interesting. I still need to find a video on how to put lens flares in a video. So, that's something I'll do today so when next week come around I know what to do. By the end of next week I should have an exported file with all the effects in but since I'm still learning the program there might be a chance that I won't have an exported file until Monday.
