Preliminary Task 2 After Effects

 After Effects:

Text Animation

I decided to use this specific effect in order to add to the element of suspense to the thriller film. This element adds to the atmosphere of the film and creates a tense and moody feel to the video which correlates to the narrative of the film. This specific effect, coupled with the music added, establishes a clear link between the genre of the film and is reflected by the graphics displayed in this opening sequence.

Echo Glitch Effect

I decided to use the echo glitch effect to enhance the effect on his struggling as the victim tries to escape. It also creates this sort of wrestling effect between the characters as Omen tries to cause more damage in a last minute plan to push him off the bridge, while this is actually an escape plan for the hostage. I didn't add too much of a glitch so it wouldn't overthrow or take away from the video, but enhance it slightly by adding a simple, but effective, after effect.
