I used photoshop to split apart te E4 logo. I did this by using the pologon alsso tool to split them up into jagged shapeds . I cut them into speraerat layers so
when I put them into my animation they can be easly moved aound into the right position . I then imported them into my after effects project by importing them

2. as a file . I have made sure that I did not change the size of the E4 logo because they would not put it on the channel if the logo has been changed in any way .

I tried to experiment with a light burst in order to make the explosion at the beginning. I tried doing this by getting a shape block and then use the effect light
burst I then played around with the effect in order to make a large flash of light in the centre of the screen. After completing it I thought it was not very good so I
then decided to attempt to do it a different way.

3. Since the last explosion attempted did not look how I pictured it I then tried it at a different approach. I then tried using something called burn effect. I did this
by adding to shape layers in to different colours one behind the others then I used the burn effect to make the first shape layer burn through and let the colour
behind show. But I thought that this did not look as good as my previous attempt.

4. I finally went back to my first attempt with using light burst but this time I improved the colours which made it look better. There were other ways for me to do
this at a better quality but I could not find out how to do it with the time I had to make this and I only had the basic skills at that time .

5. I then moved on to the next part of my E4 project the making of the stars. The stars were meant to appear one by one and shine. My first attempt at making
these was to uses shape layers with light burst to make them look as though they are shining. But when I put them on they did not shine or look like stars so I
decided to scrap that idea and make starts by doing it a different way.

6. I then looked on the internet for ways to make a star effect and I came across an effect called partial world cc. there was a part on the effect called stars that
make stars appear still I then played around with to effect to change to angle amount of stars and how quick they appear .

7. I then imported the split up E4 logo which I did earlier into my project by finding the file and import it. I then used basic movement animation to move the
broken up pieces of the E4 logo into place from off screen into the middle. I did this by making key frames at the bottom in the time line at certain moments.

8. Finally I used size commands in order to make it look as though the E4 log is spinning in place I did this by making key frames in the time line and just squashed
the E4 logo using the size command and then made it back to the original size which give an impression that it was spinning in place.

9. I then exprted the file into a addobe premire file by doig this it allowed me to shoten the clip down and add the sound .

10. In my after affects file I made it so the sting was 30 secondns long by mistake . Because of this I needed to change the time on premiere I did tis by using the
razor tool and the speed duration just to take of the parts that draged it o and so I can make it 10 secconds

11. I then renderd the clip by going on sequance and then click o render entire work area so te footege runs smothly .

12. I went on file , export and then media I did this so then I can uplode it on a website like youtube so it van be viwed on the internet

13. Final I went onto youtube and uplode it onto it which allows it to be viwed by the public .
