Kinetic Text

My first attempt at making the kinetic text I used motion I experimented with creating kinetic text for the responsibility part of the speech which I had planned too do. After coming up with some different layouts for the text and adding in some behaviours too certain words I didn't really think it went well with the feel of the trailer.

I also used after effects to try and create the right looking kinetic text I decided to go with my other option of kinetic text which was to use it on the following part of the speech "and the glow from that fire can truly light the world." It was my first time using after effects so the animations were kept fairly simple however if they were too flashy I don not think they would suit the trailer. 

I used keyframes to sort out the position of the text as the other words came in on the first part of the quote I moved the text up a little for each piece of text that came in to make it look a bit more dynamic and fluid. I did this by linking all the different text layers to a null object and movings this object position at the keyframes mentioned above. It worked really well in my opinion and was a good learning experience for me in after effects, to finish this of I made the word fire red too give it that little bit of emphasis.

For the second part of the quote I wanted a video or image in the backdrop which was fine as it was the same as working on the black canvas like above. I chose a video of the sun coming out form behind a church as I thought it linked well to the previous clips in the trailer and also the light from the quote it was showing. For this part of the quote I just wanted the text to appear as the sun was moving.





Overall I am happy with my kinetic text and I enjoyed making so it is definitely something I would like to experiment with in future projects, also enjoyed after effects and I will carry on experimenting with that to see th other possibilities of the program.
