​​​​​​​- An Intro to Special Effects & Motion Graphics -
Definitions:
Practical Effects - Effects that are made made to simulate something in real life. It is physical made while filming, and not in post production.
Visual Effects -  Effects that are made to simulate something in real life. It is made in post production, using, editing and computer generated graphics.
Special Effects -  Effects that are made to simulate something in real life using, practical effects and visual effects.
Chroma-Key - An effect in post production that removes a certain color from a scene. It is usually used to change the background of an object.
Green Screen - It is a object with a sold color usually green or blue, that is put behind a object so it is easier to put a different background on it
Garbage Matte - An effect in post production that is used to get rid of a unwanted parts of the clip. it is like a cropping effect

Difference:
Chroma key is an effect that utilizes a green screen to put the object on a different background. While a garbage matte is an effect that crops the clip to get rid of the parts that you want.

Questions:
1.  How does a user import footage in After Effects?
You can import footage by dragging it in.
2.  What are “Motion Graphics”?
Motion graphics are animated text or graphics.
3.  What is Compositing?
Compositing is combining multiple things into one
4.  What is Frame Rate?
Frame rate is how many images is shown in a second
5.  What is a composition?
Composition a arrangement of things.
6.  Why should you Render (RAM Preview)?
To show what the final product looks like
7.  What is adaptive resolution and OpenGL?
Adaptive resolution changes the resolution when scrubbing through the composition, to make it go more smoothly, OpenGL uses the graphics card to accelerate the previewing.
8.  Outline the steps required to export compositions
Choose composition, and add to render queue. change your output. Then change the settings.

- Basic Video Effects -
Digital Video Effects commonly called DVEs, are digital visual effects that provide transitions from one scene to another, rather than making hard cut frame translational changes. DVEs include fading or dissolving frames, wiping from one frame to another, and frame flipping. More complex effects might include morphing, depending on director’s intent.  Many of these effects will be explained in this activity.
DVEs are used in by the broadcast television industry in live production environments like television studios, outside broadcasts or during any other program productions.

Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. It is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision, and can be created and demonstrated in a number of ways. The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although several other forms of presenting animation also exist.

​​​​​​​- Chroma Key -
Keying is a technique for compositing two images or frames together in which a colour (or a small colour range) from one image is removed (or made transparent), revealing another image behind it. This technique is also referred to as colour keying, colour-separation overlay, greenscreen, and bluescreen. It is commonly used for weather forecast broadcasts, wherein the presenter appears to be standing in front of a large map, but in the studio it is actually a large blue or green background. The meteorologist stands in front of a bluescreen, and then different weather maps are added on those parts in the image where the colour is blue. If the meteorologist wears blue clothes, their clothes will become replaced with the background video. This also works for greenscreens, since blue and green are considered the colours least like skin tone.

- Motion Graphics & Particles  -
Motion Graphics are animated objects that is used to show movement in multimultimedia projects. They are added on digitally.

Particles are motion graphics that is emitted by a particle emitter. It is given physics, that is calculated by the computer, to simulate things just like in real life.
