trailer introduction on after effects

today we started a tutorial in after effects 

                                         we started in after effects by opening a new composition

                                              the second thing I did was get an image to have for the intro

then resize the image in this case fit to comp

here we had used the timer on the position tab to move the image around 

here I added text for the title

then i animated the text

added a tint then fade to black 

and blend into this image 

then add effect pre-sets to the text

and then I rendered out the video by adding to render Que and making the correct settings for the video

mind map

this is my ideas generation mind map and research the main focus on the research is to find out what I can include in my game trailer the game trailers that stood out were" GTA V ","Elder scrolls online" and "Pokemon X and Y"

GTA V : this game stood out because it focused on being able to show the characters and the new additions in the game as well as game footage.

Elder Scrolls Online : this game caught my attention in the way how it takes 5 of their previous games and bring them together which is one of the big points to elder scrolls in addition to its high quality trailer it looks more like a short movie rather than a game trailer

Pokemon X and Y : this game caught my attention because it used the game footage and it focused on what the game would be like if you were playing it yourself rather than a perspective of of inside the game it also shows the console it is on so at the end it doesn't require the name and logo of the console

From this research I think that I my game trailer should either show in game footage , A high quality cinematic which I doubt I can produce. But I can  show off the characters in the game by showing what they do but not in game footage
