Using photoshop we imported an image then, I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut the man out and then I copied and pasted it into a new file.
This was a film file so I chose the one with 1920/1080 settings and then I pasted the image.

Green screen -Premier

Using premiere it was easier to add the animation of the man moving instead of placing it manually one by one on the time sequence like in after effects.
Although the keying in after effects was more effective at removing the green screen background than the one in after effects.
But in terms of layering there is more clarity with using premiere.

I also learnt to use the composition settings including:
-48000 kH sample rate
-QuickTime, Apple pro res 422 HQ
-1920/1080

Green screen - after effects

Before beginning we changed the settings to...

We then imported the files with the green screen photographs into after effects, then we placed them into a composition. I then clicked all the images and transformed them all to fit to the composition.
Afterwards, I changed the image settings to 1920/1080.
 soon after I manually decreased the size of each image frame and made a diagonal pattern going downwards.
 I made a new composition, and then I placed composition 1 into this new one, I then placed an image under the composition, then in the effects settings I clicked on keying where I clicked on key light.
This helped to dissolve the image into the short animated video.

After Effects- the next stage


I have been rotating shapes 
First attempt using 'AfterEffects'

We began using after effects, we had to make a ball in illustrator which we converted into a png file and transported it into after effects.

Then using the software I used the layout of 1920/1080 and HDTV 25 frames with 15 seconds as the duration.

Then I dragged the image of the ball into the black screen and on the left corner were the settings of the ball.
Using "position" "scale" and dragging the ball across the screen and along the timeline I managed to produce an animation of the ball bouncing along all the corners.
I then found a "boingy" sound which I downloaded and edited in premiere before inserting it into my animation.

I EVENTUALLY FINISHED MY FILM

-I USED 7 FRAMES

-VARIOUS BUTTONS AND SYMBOLS

-SOUNDS- I RECORDED SOME SOUNDS AND CONVERTED THEM INTO FILES I COULD EXPORT INTO ANNIMATE.


-SPINNING TOOLS

THIS IS A SCREENSHOT OF ONE OF THE SCENES WITH THE ROBOTS AND THE HUMANS.

THESE ARE SOME OTHER IMAGES I EDITED  WHICH I FOUND ON THE WEB WHICH I EDITED AND INCOPORATD
https://fanvideos.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/dark-cloud.jpg
I CREATED THIS USING THREE SEPERATE IMAGES


THE IMAGE IS MEANT TO PORTRAY HOW EARTH WILL APPEAR IF KEPT UNKEPMT.




PHOTOS UPDATED
 
I REMOVED THE HORIZON AND EVENTUALLY THE CLOUDS, IT GAVE THE PIECE SOME MORE CLARITY.
I ALSO CONVERTED THE IMAGE INTO AN OIL PAINTING AND A BLUE TINTED FILTER.

MY STORYLINE PRESENTS HOW ROBOTS EVENTUALLY DEVELOP AN AI LANGUAGE STRONG ENOUGH TO STRIP THEM OFF HUMAN DEPENCE. AS A RESULT THEY ISOLATE THEMSELVES AND HAVE BETTER DEVELOPED CITIES THAN HUMANS WHO ARE LIVING IN DISASTROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
I STARTED TO MAKE MY ANNIMATION,

I HAVE TO MAKE IT INTERACTIVE, INFORMATIVE , AND CLEARLY RESPOND TO THE CITY OF THE FUTURE THEME.
I DREW THIS ON PHOTOSHOP AS AN EXAMPLE OF A FUTURISTICALLY ADAPTED HUMAN. HOWEVER I DIDN'T USE THE CORRECT PIXELS AND AS A RESULT IT WAS BLURRY WHEN I TRANSFERRED IT TO ANNIMATE.
THIS IS SOMETHING I PRODUCED FROM EDITING TWO SEPERATE PICTURES. I WANTED THIS TO BE MY ORIGINAL BACKGROUND BUT THE COLOURS PRODUCED TOO MUCH NOISE FOR ME TO PLACE ANY CHARACTERS.
EVENTUALLY WE LEARNT HOW TO MAKE OBJECTS SPIN AND HOW TO CODE BUTTONS APPROPRIATLY.

THIS IS A SCREENSHOT FROM WHEN I LEARNT HOW TO MAKE A SPINNING OBJECT.
IT WAS A PROCESS THAT REQUIRED MAKING: TWO SYMBOLS , A CLASSIC TWEEN AND A STOP CODE {stop();}
THEN AFTERWARDS WE MADE THIS DEVICE WHICH WHEN WE GAVE IT THE CORRECT CODE THROUGH THE CODE SNIPPETS, WOULD ALLOW US TO MOVE IT IN A KEYBOARD MOTION.

THIS WAS OVERALL SUCESSFULL AND FUN TO PRODUCE.


WE BEGUN TO LEARN HOW TO USE ANNIMATE,

WE FIRSTLY LEARNT HOW TO PRODUCE A BOUNCING BALL ANNIMATION.
 WE FIRST TRACED THE STEPS ONTO PHOTOSHOP THEN MOVED THE FILE CREATED INTO ANNIMATE WHERE WE SPLIT EACH CIRCL INTO INDIVIDUAL FRAMES.

THEN WE LEARNT HOW TO MAKE OUR OWN WALK CYCLES USING THE TEMPLATE ABOVE, THROUGH THIS WE LEARNT HOW TO CONVERT OBJECTS INTO SYMBOLS; MAINLY BEING MOVIE CLIPS AND BUTTONS. ADDITIONALLY, I LEARNT HOW TO USE THE BONE TOOL TO MIMIC MOVEMENT.
