After effects

Adobe After Effects is a computer programme which allows you to edit images but is also create videos from the images we have taken or downloaded, we started out by de constructing an image we took from google, we used the polygonal lasso tool in photoshop CS6 to select the main sections of the image and separate them into layers, we then refined the edges to make them more accurate to the area that we were trying to select, each layer we selected we gave a name in this case it was"sky", "shard", and "plane" this helps us not to get confused while editing, we also increased the contrast saturation and brightness to make the image more visually appealing. After doing this we opened the image layers in Adobe After Effects.


After opening the image in after effects we stretched the sky layer out of frame to crop it down a little to leave more image over hanging the edge so it had room  to slide across, we then transformed each image layer and selected a started a start and an end point for each layer.
We then made each layers movement last for ten seconds.

This sequence worked out well due to the fact that managed to separate the layers well enough that there was no visible evidence of having done so, this also worked well because i managed to make the "plane" layer flow between both the "sky" layer and the Shard "layer to make it seem more realistic because the plane flew behind the shard which is just an extra realistic element.

TheAdded contrast and saturation creates a more summery evening look which i created in photoshop, i also made the "plane" layer shrink slightly as it was moving across the screen to create an effect that made it seem as iff the plane itself was moving away and changing perspective.
