Development Blog for Motion Graphics
In this blog i will be tracking my development throughout this project. Everything from pre-production and post-production.
8/10/13
First of all i am focusing on the pre-production element of this project starting with some basic research on the 80's, i researched everything from music to what the important news storys were. I started reading newspaper articles from this decade and looking at to get a better feel for the project i was about to undertake.
22/10/13
On this date i started to come up with ideas of how i wanted my title sequence to look, i took inspiration from a TV show called 'Big Fat Quiz of The Year'. I liked the way that they had cutouts of the famous people from whatever decade they were covering popping up on screen so i decided to go with this approach, i then created a mindmap to get all the ideas down. I decided i was going to change it so it wasn't exactly the same as 'Big Fat Quiz of The Year' instead of using full cutouts i would use pictures of the face and have them fly across the screen then let all the pictures pile on top of each other.

Once i had decided what artists i wanted to have on my title sequence i searched for pictures of them on Google Images, i then saved the pictures onto my computer. I then searched for 80's headlines on Google Images and saved a few of them too. After i had all the pictures i wanted to use i constructed a storyboard for my title sequence. I simply did this by drawing on paper the pictures i had saved of the artists in the order in which i wanted them to appear.

After i decided on what order i wanted my pictures to appear i started to write a script for the presenting element of this assignment. I used the research i had obtained and used that to help shape the script. I used facts like what the biggest selling singles of the 80's were and the death of John Lennon. Whilst writing this script i decided i wanted to have clips of videos in there, i decided to put Band Aid- Feed the World and Jennifer Rush- The Power of Love.

This was the start of production, we filmed us presenting. We all helped each other in the filming and autocue, we used clip mics to capture the sound but when it came to capturing the footage the sound wasn't as loud as we hoped it would be so the footage was useless, we then had to go back and film it again, it turned out much better this time and was usable.

I started to create my motion graphics sequence, i opened up Adobe After Effects, then i imported in all the pictures i was using and began to keyframe them and moved them over so it would create the effect of the pictures moving across the screen, after i had done that i decided i wanted to make a soundtrack for it too. I opened Adobe Audition and started to create a soundtrack using samples. After this was done i went into premier and brought it all together into one production.
9/1/14
On this day i burned my production onto a disc and handed it in.
