Website sharing information on five elements that I have chosen which are Helium, Hydrogen, Lithium, Boron and Oxygen. The website is aimed at students so I chose to include both detailed explanations and visual elements such as video.
I chose to include video examples of each element as I think that it is always easier to remember something when you can see a visual image of it.
I included some animations as-well such as the homepage which has an animated introductory video created in After Effects and I also included animated 'atoms' for each element to give it a bit more visual appeal.
I think the key part of the website that makes it stand out is the video portion of website, I will detail below how I created them
Technically they are and are not video’s as I created them using photographs from which I cut out a rocket from a photo which created two separate images for me to animate in After Effects, the rocket and the background.
I created the animation by making both images 3D Layers so that I could change the perspective a little allowing it to appear more like video, plus it also gave it the whole scene a little for depth. First I animated the position of the rocket using keyframes and dragged it so that it slowly went upward, I then adjusting the angle of the 3D Camera and the rotation manoeuvred the 3D Camera a bit so that it gave the rocket a bit of a rotation.
