Last semester I took a mini-course in After Effects and it really opened my eyes to the limitless possibilities of animation and graphic movement. I know the very basics of After Effects but I can't wait to make a title sequence with this program. I have always been in love with the Mad Men opening and would love to create something like that for my new television show on ICTV this semester. The title sequence always sets the tone for a television show. It can make or break the number of eyes on your content. If you can't captivate an audience in the first 30-45 seconds, you're essentially done. I am looking to hone my skills in After Effects but most importantly I am looking to use these skills to entertain. You can "know" an editing program, but still lack creativity and captivation. Below I have attached a link to the Mad Men opening. In my opinion, it entices the viewer and creates the perfect amount of suspense to see what the show has in store for them.
