Experiments

3. After Effects Experiment
• I used after effects to create a short animated logo, this will be
used for the current project as well as future projects.
• The animation is around 6 seconds long, and includes two text
features. The first one is simply ‘Bertie’s media’. This is the
very first thing you see as you watch the animation, and this
will be at the start of every video I make throughout this year.
I then took the next step and also put the title of my Factual
work (‘Tattoos and body piercings’), so it is custom to the
video. This is the only variable I will have when using this
animation.
• To create this logo, I watched a YouTube video explaining how
to use after effects to create a short animation. This showed
me how to get a circle to animate, more specifically – the
circle begins as a curved line, but meets itself after creating a
circle shape. After I had done this, I got the hang of how to use
after effects, I added in an effect on the next title too. It is the
same style of animation, but this time in a rectangle shape.

4. Survey (audience research)
When I was researching similar
videos, I found that I was very
interested in what other peoples
opinions were and how their
thoughts varied based on age.
I decided to create a survey to get
some first hand information on
controversial points of my chosen
subject.
Above are a few examples of what
I’m going to include in my survey.
I think that by creating this
survey, I gives me an easy
opportunity of who my target
audience is. For the project, we
were told to aim the videos at
people aged from 16 – 24, I think
that I have managed to do this
by using a subject that is
relatable to people that age, as
tattoos and body piercings are
such a huge trend, but I have
also tried to aim my project at an
older group too, as I think their
understanding of why people get
body modifications is not as
extravagant as someone younger.

5. Microphone Audio Experiments
• When planning, I decided to
use my cameras microphone
to record the audio as it
saves time. I am going to be
filming inside college but I
wasn’t sure where the best
place to be was. I needed to
be somewhere that very few
people would go to, and
there wont be a lot of sound.
I walked around college and
recorded some spots I
thought could be plausible to
film an interview, here is the
data that I collected when
doing so.

The first place I went to record
audio was the front of college, I
thought this was a potentially
good spot as there were very
few people during lesson time,
but the sound of the wind and
cars drowned out any speech.
