After our moving image induction I was inspired to start thinking about how I could use moving image within my project.
I came up with some design sheets for an idea using change within peoples bags:
These frames basically illustrate the idea of all the money from my research in one bag intensifying the message that there is so much money in the bottom of peoples bags that they don't even know about.
Task:
- Take some images of from this design for the second Flash induction on Thursday.
So, unfortunately it was impossible to get the exact amount of change needed, or even a lower representation of the change to give the effect I wanted. So therefore I have just experimented with coins in a more simple way.
Final Cut,
To begin with we had to name our images in numerical order so that the files would process in order. We also had to save them in the same folder to reduce confusion when in Final Cut.
Firstly we imported our files into the programme. You can also import a a whole folder if it is relevant to do so.
You then drag the first image into the 'video' track- it appears as a green rectangle. Once more images are dragged in they 'snap' together so that images don't overlap or get spaced too far apart when first imported.
You can change the size of imported images. This size reflects how long the image will be on screen for- as shown above.
You can also press 'shift' and 'z' at the same time once a whole folder has been imported so as to avoid scrolling through the images. They are evenly spread across the screen.
If you are happy with the placement of a sequence then just click 'file' then 'new' and finally 'sequence'. This creates 'sequence 2'- you drag the first sequence into sequence 2 on the bar. This will now flow more like a sequence of moving images than a juttery clip of multiple images.

To add text,
You simply double click the text and change it by using the control tab at the top of the 'sample text' screen.
It appears on the timeline as shown below. You can change where it sits on the moving image by switching its placement.
Here's the final resolution:
I think that this type of design would not appeal to my audience (students) because it is bland and takes time. I think that for this piece to be successful I need to make impact straight away. So I think that a poster mixed with a strong visual will work well.
