Week 6 - Classwork - Thriller Analysis + After Effects

Hi class

PART A - Thriller Analysis 

Today I want you to watch each of these 3 opening sequences and write a few bullet points on the techniques they used that built suspense.

Pay particular attention to the TITLES and how they work in the first one.

In the rest of them, think about the 4 technical elements and what was particularly effective in the techniques they used.

Embed the links in your own blogs too.

LINK 1 - Until 2.40mins

LINK 2 - A quiet Place first 2.30mins

 LINK 2 - A thriller scene 

PART B

- Search on YouTube for some After Effects options that will fit with your opening sequence 

- Embed them into a blog post entitled 'After Effects Research'

- Write a blurb for each video with what you are planning to do and intend to try 

- Practise an effect with a piece of footage 

- export your After Effect practise and embed into your blog for reference 

Here's an AE video tutorial that should help :)
