Time Art [2]

Illusion of Time 

When it came to getting down and developing my own idea within AE I did come across a lot of problems it was mainly to do with switching between screens and keeping track of the last point to start off from in the next screen. I think it was the constant switching between compositions that was confusing me whilst working on it, so i decided to put them into folders switch was still quite confusing and took me a while to adjust. Eventually i managed to work my way around and position my video sequences in the right order.

Without the three screen composition I probably would of struggled finding a way to view my footage next to each other, along with finding the right timing for the next footage to enter the screen. If come across some similar type of project like this again i will definitely use it to work alongside. 

Exporting the video was once more another area that became a setback due to forgetting that i had to export the three screen separately, instead once I foolishly believed I had completed the task I instead exported the three screen composition, after looking over the assignment sheet again to check everything was in order. 

 Because of this i then had to go over and the reversed segment of my video and adjust the layers separately and delete the pre composed layer in the three screen that i cut and reversed.

Adjusted reverse layers that i had to apply to each separate three screens

 

My experience in using Ae has encouraged me more to explore different areas of after effects and what particular aspect would interest me, at the moment i would really like to continue looking into motion tracking and developing my skills within that area. There are areas that i would like to change about my video, one being adding a camera track to the spotlight effect i had over the footage, just to see if it could of had a better outlook to the piece.
