Visual Communication



For this blog post, I really worked to add more images to fit the Still Image Video requirements and really add animation to make it more interesting to watch. I really utilized the keyframe feature to scale and position images. For images that were not scaled for the video, I added a background and used Gaussian blur to blur the visible edges. I removed the old transition effects that I had because they seemed "too predictable".

I did not use text to subtitle the video but instead tried to use images that had the main ideas embedded in the image. I also used several political cartoons that can be understood by reading only.

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 ...
