This week i want to try and animate effects not linearly, but through pulses, or other degrees of change. I am currently know how to generate key-frames from music a waveform, but the real trouble is linking them too effects on other layers. I have watched a number of tutorials, but they are all very basic and not to the level of implementation I’m thinking of. They’re mainly tutorials on how to pulsate text for generic YouTube videos. I think effects animating in sync to the bpm of music will add a new dynamic to the imagery I’m creating, and bring it to a higher dimension. I was going to try and get my own footage to use, but now we are only allowed out for an hour of exercise, so I’ll have to see if that is still possible.

In terms of the Short film I am not focusing towards a narrative, I want it to be more of an experience. So there will be a little narrative, so it isn’t just a compilation of visuals. But I am focusing more on the spectacle of it. I am not sure about music either, because i don’t want to create a music video. Most stock music isn’t very unique in my opinion, or “good”. I will be leaning more into Astronomical ,Cosmological, and Cosmic Horror Imagery. I want to experiment more with colour and contrast too.

I will be looking more into deep field imagery to get more inspiration on the next few video experiments i make. Below is the first picture ever taken of a black hole, I like the yellows and Oranges. the softness of the image is a nice contrast to the violent destructive nature that is hidden at its center.
