Western credit

Premiere

So the THEME was: Western!!! 

Today we were experimenting with premiere, we were tasked to making a opening credit sequence with a reference to, 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' 1966 credits. We watched it together as a class and identify what theme it is, fonts and was it good or not.

Firstly we were given a file with many pictures of a cowboy riding the horse, then on our teacher (Mr Harrison) show us the tools in which can enable you to animate the cowboy and the horse around the page. So after I put the files in premiere I started by drawing a mountain ( a very bad mountain tbh XD), then I move the cowboy figure around by putting a keyframe in the beginning then every 5 seconds or so I adjust my rotation, x and y axis etc so that the horse jumps into the middle of the screen and then stop abruptly. Keyframe is the "key" tool for animation since it allows you to move the figure little by little and instead of staying in the same place for the entire opening if it was not on a keyframe you'll be moving it as a whole. Each keyframe is specifically in a place that you want it be and during keyframe to keyframe the figure will move smoothly to transition to another keyframe position. 

To be honest, it was really hard to understand for me and to explain especially how the process was. However, by the end of class I learnt so much more about the software and therefore the next time I use this it'll be a lot easier and faster. Hopefully *fingers crossed*.
