Organising my thoughts and beginning my video

 Folder

In order to start the editing of the project I needed to establish a folder where I would store everything in relation to my video. This folder includes other folders that store everything from music to the downloaded footage

The word document includes the link for all the images and videos that I will be using, in order to help reference everything later.

INTRO

I started a new composition in After Effects to create the intro of the video in general. The video will have two intros, one at the very first of the video and one after the opening scene using the alpha matte effect. This is why this one is only 5 seconds long.

First of all I created a new project on after effects and selected an all black background in order to make the viewer focus on the bright colours of the text.

Once I did that I added my texts and keyframes in order to animate every word individually. 

The word "THAS" is animated by scaling it up. "Films" is being repositioned using keyframes" but also I selected the word to change the position in the X axis all together and not just individually each letter.

for the word "Productions" I used the blur effect, so that at the beginning it would be so blurry that the viewer could not see, but after the other two words showed up it would become clear.

I exported the file as an After Effects composition and I placed it in the folder for the editing. This way when I will start the assembly, I will just import it into Premiere Pro.

Reflection: Practise makes perfect, and by using this software regularly, I can learn to perfect techniques I already know, but also build and learn new ones.
