Captioning Dialogue Video
Motion Graphics Assessment 2 - Graphics Design Diploma
It has become necessary to be active in social media platforms such as Instagram in order to reach your desired audience, so, my class was given the task to create a captioned video which visually expresses the audible dialogue in a creative fashion in After Effects...
Creating engaging videos that go far beyond just displaying normal captions has the ability to make a video extra captivating to the audience. Due to the military theme in the movie I grabbed my clip from, I ensured to use greens & browns to match the applicable colour palette, & this also influenced symbols that were implemented as well..
Development
Initial Research
The first stage was to research & investigate existing examples of motion graphic animated text in the hope to become inspired for the project ahead..
Video Clip Research
At this stage I'd become exposed to what's out there already & as a result I began to feel ambitious & motivated to create something really expressive, though I now needed to find a suitable candidate for applying captioned dialogue onto..
Video Clip Options
Each thumbnail to the right includes text that mentions the thought processes when looking through each option..
Eventually it became clear that what I choose should have the potential to be funny, especially because that can have the scope for various ways to express the dialogue visually..
I already knew the movie Major Payne & it soon became clear that would be a great pathway to head towards..
Storyboard
It was now time to create a storyboard for planning how I'd go about my ideas.. Annotations were drawn to indicate how various things would move about each shot.
