Film Opening Planning

Today we met up to continue with the work we did the other day, my team mate (George) went back to work with the landscape/ background, on the other hand I moved on to doing an animation of our "Studio" name and left that as my friends job.

With what I have learnt from the previous day I was able to use Photoshop with no trouble although, there are still some little things that I still don't know about. Therefore, I use Photoshop to paint a "white room" painting on shadows and highlights then blurring it to create a lens blur focus effect where the title will be the focus of the shot. After the background was made, I open up After Effects and import the background in,adding the title and the "shatter" effect, making multiple new compositions as things are being added so that I have different layers I can work with, therefore, if I made any mistake or forgot to add something.

After the blank white background was imported I create a new composition adjusting the size of the canvas to my liking and then I added a text on top of it however, it is a different layer and is not merged with the first layer so then I can use this "shatter effect" onto the text. After it has been applied I create another composition to make my shatter effect reverse. Instead of having the text explode in the beginning the text will float from behind the screen and merge together into words.
