Our next task that we had to do for 'Beyond the Camera' was, in groups of 2, to create a digital artefact which would be a combination of images, video clips and sound. We were to make this on After Effects and try our best to source most of our own images and sound. I was excited to get stuck in because I was excited to learn more about After Effects and I knew that we could go as crazy as we wanted with this and do anything at all because I prefer to not have strict limitations on what I do.
After an extremely helpful After Effects tutorial I felt lots more comfortable using the software and was amazed to learn about Rostrum Camera Techniques. This is when an image is panned across and zoomed in/out to show the viewer more of an image. It can be used to help tell a story and this is an element which fascinated me and I definitely wanted to explore this more in my artefact.
Me and my group member, Elicia, came up with an idea of a walk in the park gone wrong, with an innocent person being followed and a scary ending. We know that we want to create an atmosphere with the sound and play around with it as we had never got the chance to work with such an emphasis on sound before.
Over the next few weeks we plan to go out and capture our own images and sound because we want to project to be as much ours as possible. I am really happy about this as we haven't had as much chance yet this year to go out and shoot our own material for a university project.
Wish us luck!
