Week 9 - After Effects for Advanced Portfolio Final Edit

•

Today, on the 31st of March 2021, I officially finished my Advanced Portfolio Rough Edit, and so now that the rough edit is complete, I'm going to be adding various after effects to the sequence to give it a more professional and vibrant/exciting element that'll really take it to the next level - one of excellence.

Linked below is a YouTube video tutorial explaining three ways to create simple, yet very effective, transitions.

In the first few shots where Amone Greyvenstein and Phoebe Armitage look in the mirror, I'm really wanting to use some sort of jump cut/jolt cut in between, to create a sense of the little girl being Phoebe Armitage (representing Demi Lovato) as a young girl.

Finding a tutorial to the exact transition I'm going for is proving to be quite difficult, but I'm sure I'll find something great soon as I keep looking.

I'm loving the look of the glitch effect, linked below.

I found these glitch transitions really helpful and fitting to my project. The video tutorial explains each effect simply and clearly, which made following the steps whilst incorporating them into my project 'easy-peasy'.

Below are a few videos done by previous A2 Media Studies students that I watched to gain some inspiration for how I can really develop and work on my current rough edit to produce a final edit of excellence.

The video below was marked with a full marks A grade!

I'll use both the inspiration videos and tutorial videos to better my video, bring it to life creatively and then hopefully also achieve an A grade.
