Introduction
In this blog post, I used animation to enhance my previous audio (video?) story from 2 weeks ago. I used Adobe Premiere to edit my project.
Audio Story
In my previous blog post, I once again shared my audio story, but this time with a visual supplement! The video can be found below.
This week, the first animation I added was a purple rectangle block, along with text that reads, “Why is rap such an important genre of music?” as I say it in the voice over. This signals to the listener / viewer that what I am saying is important and that they should pay attention to that line. I chose the purple rectangle block because it stood out on the red background in the picture. I set the font to a fancy cursive that wasn’t too difficult to read, and the rectangle to 100% opacity because I felt that it looked too muted if it was any lower. I added key frames to both the text and the rectangle block so they both moved up the screen at the same time and rate. I did this by positioning the Timeline playhead at the start of the clip, and clicking and dragging the animation so it would be off the screen at an earlier time in the video (Jago, Aug 18).
I did the same thing a few other times in the video, as I am listening to random POS’s responses.
Here is the final result:
Reflection
Overall, I had a surprisingly much easier time on this assignment than the last one. I think it was partly because last week I was still getting to be familiar with the software, and this week I am infinitely more comfortable using it, as I now know my way around it. The supplemental reading helped as well, especially Animate a layered title fly-in (Jago, Aug 18) which helped me figure out how to move my animation blocks and texts.
