I dent Lesson 4


For this lesson we had to learn how to add different colorization effects to video footage, firstly we had to drag the .MOV file into the composition, (the DJ), to give the cartoon look we added an effect called  Cartoon situated in the stylize folder, this wasn't the final effect we were going to use, we wanted an equal mix of  the cartoon and real look, to achieve this look we went to the effect settings and changed the Edge area and opacity, this gave it a better look.
Next we had to create the background to do this we used the shape tool, this creates simple shapes that can be manipulated, we made a polygon using the polygon tool, we then changed the amount of points to 6, this made a hexagon, we then changed the outer roundness to -500% this gave the effect of the circle with the banana looking shapes around the edges, to finalize the shape we filled it with a specific colour using the RGB scale and then changed the angle to give it a spiral effect, we then duplicated the layer and animated it to spin around whilst the DJ was playing, to do this we key framed the rotation. We then added in several stars and used the pucker tool on them and lowered the opacity of them to make them look like 'splatters'.
To finalize the project we cut the project to work space which means the composition length changes, we shortened the length of the composition to 5 seconds.
We then added text and an animation preset so the text appears gradually, then we added a rectangle shape and key framed the wriggle path to make it look like a sound wave moving up and down throughout the composition.
