:: After effects introduction ::

TODAY WAS THE FIRST AFTER EFFECTS TUTORIAL AND OVER ALL, ITS REALLY NOT AS BAD AS I THOUGH IT WILL BE, MAYBE  JUST HAVNT REALISED HOW DIFICULT IT MIGHT GET WHEN I HAVE TO APPLY MY OWN IDEA'S, BUT ON A WHOLE, I DIDNT FIND IT THAT HARD TO KEEP UP WITH AND UNDERSTAND. SO THE BASIC PRNCIPLES WERE INTRODUCES, THAT WILL ALLOW US TO START PRODUCING AND SEEING UP OUR DOCUMENTS FOR THE DIFFERENT OUTPUTS WE ARE GOING TO NEED TO USE. 

IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE BASIC SET UP OF THE DOCUMENT, AS IT WAS SOMETHING THAT IF NOT DONE RIGHT, COULD EFFECT THE WORK ONCE IT HAD BEEN PRODUCED AND READY TO IMPORT. BELOW IS SOME OF THE STEPS I TOOK WHEN FIRST EXPERIMENTING WITH SIMPLE OBJECTS AND MOVEMENTS, THAT WILL LATER DEVELOP INTO WORDS AND LETTERS. 

 HERE IS THE TIME RULER, WHICH IS THE MAIN INDICATOR OF LAYERS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH TIME IN EACH COMPOSITION. AS TIME IS SOMETHING EXTREAMLY IMPORTANT WITHIN THE SILENT BRIEF, THIS WAS ESSENTIAL AS A START.

EACH MULTIPLE LAYER HAS ITS OWN SET OF PROPETIES, HERE I HAVE JUST USED ONE WHICH I DULPCATED TO CREATE THE EFFECT. ALSO THE QUALITY OF IMAGE IS SOMETHING WE LOOKED INTO AND THE WAYS IN WHICH I COULD CHANGE AND VIEW THIS.  THIS BELOW IS AN INDICATION OF THE MOVEMENT AND THE SPACE OF EACH SHAPE I CREATED. ITS NOT GET A PATH MASK, BUT IN SOME WAY SIMILAR AS IT INDICATED HOW FAST EACH OBJECT MOVES. THIS ONE BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE ROATION WITHIN EACH DIFFERENT MOVEMENT. 

HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLE IN WHICH I EXPERIEMENTED WITH SOME OF THE BASIC TECHNIQUES USED THROUGHOUT THIS FIRST TUTORIAL.



SOME MORE SIMPLE SHAPE EXPERIEMENTATION, WITH THE CHAGE IN OPACITY AND ROATATION.
