Scene 6 & 7 - Floral Scenes.

These next two scenes will be quite easy and quick to complete, as i am starting to get to grasps with how to use After Effects in general. Due to the previous scene ending on white it makes it very easy for me to animate a flower painting of O'Keeffe's appear on the page. I will do this by key framing the painting at the opacity of 0% and the up it to 100%. However, i do not want this image to be strong, i want it to hint at a painting as i am planning on having some of her brighter paintings in the next scene. Ironically the text will say "O'Keeffe loved bright colourful flowers, which is what she was widely known for." As this scene wont have any bright colour on it at all. To link the next scene on i want to zoom in onto the blackest part of the painting, which happens to be the middle of the painting. Once i have done that i will lower the opacity of the painting and place a solid black layer underneath the painting so it looks like it has darkened. Once i have darkened the black i will then immediately lover the opacity of the black to reveal the almost mood board, collage of the flower paintings beneath.

For this next scene, i am going to make a mini collage of some of O'Keeffe's most bright floral paintings. To make it more interesting then just having a collage on screen, the idea is to make the images one at a time enlarge for the audience to gain a better view and then decrease to its original size after 2 or so seconds. It is a simple exercise as all i have to do it make sure i get the key frames in the right place, and that i make sure that the duration of all the flowers being enlarged are the same length.
