AARD Productions Intro 1&2 (Akshay)

Introduction
For our production intro I decided to create two intros for AARD Productions, then after discuss with the group which one they thought fitted out piece best.

INTRO 1
The first intro I created was quite a colourful intro which I wanted to make people think "wow" when they saw it, I used a various number of highly professional plugins such as Optical Flares and Particular. These two plugins in particular would give the intro a massive uniqueness about it because of the way the words moved and how the came into the picture in the first place.

There will be 2 screenshots showing my work area (project) when creating this intro, which will also have a description below the picture of what I was working on at the time of the picture, the finally the intro itself will be after following the screenshots.

SCREENSHOT 1


















This first screenshot shows one of the few compositions i was working on which made up the intro. This composition had the various "Particular" plugin effects on it which helped the particles of the intro come into the picture.

SCREENSHOT 2


















This screenshot shows the intro further in progression with the fast blur and linear wipe added to it. These two effects allow the actual text to appear in the smooth motion it does.

This is the actual video for the first intro I created.



INTRO 2
For the second intro I created, I wanted to present something which would really link to the piece we were doing which is a thriller. i wanted the colours to be dark but have a gloss to them which would help attract users into watching the rest of the opening sequence. For this intro I used effects such as Twitch and Light directions with finally a small pinch of colour correction to the text to make it look like a thriller intro.

This shows the overall main composition of the intro 2 project. It shows the various effects used such as Twitch, Colour Corrections and some Light Movements.

CONCLUSION
Overall our groups final decision was to pick the second intro for our piece and also for AARD Productions.
We chose this one because it easily linked to the thriller theme much more than the first one which was more linked to a happy colourful theme. Also we felt that it was much more unique and no other group would have anything like it.
