After Effects and Video

After Effects work Today, i have decided to work on alternate version of the cup of tea project which includes inspiration from video. I have decided to distort  For this shot i have used a wave effect on After Effects to create an illusion of a wave in the middle of the shot For this shot i have used a book peel effect in the right hand corner   For this shot i have distorted the handle of the kettle to blend in with the rest of the shot and make it invisible in a sense For this shot i have turned the footage upside down and added in VR 360 effect that have added in the fish eye lens effect as well as it made it look like a cinema screen. Lastly, i have used liquify effect to blend in the cup of tea which adds in enigma and makes the subject more abstract as it leaves the interpretation to the viewer.

7/04/20 Today i have started to record some footage for the Cup of Tea project and explain why i have chosen such shot types for my video.  For these two shots i have decided to include my hand to highlight an idea that the video is from first perspective so that the audience can feel more immersed.  For this type of shot i have established the location/setting of the kettle.  For this shot i have put a camera underneath the cup in order to achieve the effect where a camera is looking at me upwards creating an illusion that potentially viewer has power over me. For this shot i have decided to include that in to show the work at the end and how the tea turned out at the end .

5/04/20 Today when working from home i have decided to start on Cup of Tea project. Where i had an idea/inspiration from Asian youtube cooking videos which were presenting the subjecting in the ASMR manner where everything was toned out and quiet and only natural sounds were present. Furthermore, i wanted to include some kind of specific shot that would make the video unique. So. in order to get started i figured i should start out with a rough plan which was to divide video into steps where each step is shown in the corner of the video. Step 1- Grab a tea/teabag Step 2- Grab a cup Step 3- Boil some water Step 4- Put a teabag and boiling water in the cup Step 5- Enjoy
