The videos above gave me ideas on how to manipulate the shoe and make it look interesting and creative. These videos would help me make the right brain side adverts reflect the creative aspect of the brain.
Also, the colours schemes are bold yet they compliment each other, they are simple colours, therefore, the colour in the advert are not overpowering.
In terms of composition and text animation, the videos below we very helpful.
This video was interesting because it gave me ideas on how to animate the text. I intend to use animated text presets similar to the ones I used in my DMA1007-HW.
I liked this tutorial because the text animation was very smooth and simple and the font he chose suited the animation.
In terms of composition this video was very helpful because it gave me ideas on how I could layout the adverts.
EG he doesn’t have the shoes centered in the middle of the frame and elements such as the text are not aligned yet it looks visually appealing.
This video gave me the idea to make the explosions a moving image rather than a photograph which is what I’ve been looking at in my previous research.
Ideas for explosions
- paint
- smoke
- water
- fire
- ink
I liked how this video merged a moving image with a still image. I showed elements that made up of the full image. This is a good technique that I intend to steal. It keeps the viewer engaged to find out what theses elements mean and what they make up.
