Introduction
This audio story is about the different possible answers to a long-standing question: can money truly make you happy? I tried to incorporate images that accurately depict what the audio story is telling, while also making it appealing to watch.
Animation
I used several images for the different audio clips to give the viewer something to watch. I used a Windows machine for this post, so I had trouble animating like in class. I could not find the "add keyframe" feature to resize or reposition the images I was bringing into the video. I read several articles on how to toggle this on/off in the toolbar but still was unsuccessful. To compensate for this, I used the effect and effect control panels to animate the images the best I could. I resized most of the images I found to fit the screen and used the blurring technique to add a background on images that could not be stretched all the way. I used the color key effect to remove the background on the money bags and place them on another image. I watched the video on "Creating a project and import a clip" to remind myself how to organize using bins and create a sequence.
Conclusion
Overall, I think I did well for my first draft. The next time I will work on a Mac to see if I can animate images the way we did in class (California population example). Some of the images were pixelated and I did not realize this until I watched it after I published the video. I will go back and find a crisper image to insert here.
