Final piece and evaluation

Overall, i think my final piece is quite good. I like the effects that i put on the text and the fact that i took the time to add video footage that i had taken into the final motion graphics piece.
I made my motion graphics piece in Motion, i tried using After Effects however found it really difficult as i hadn't used the software or had any help with it. Motion was however slightly easier to use although i still had trouble with it, i ended up losing my work several times because the software would crash and in the end i was happy with the result i got and how much time and effort i put into it.
I used numurous effects throughout my piece included text effects, opacity changes, 3D changes and lot's of other effects.

I researched a few motion graphic artist and one of them that i like had made a video that had black and white, i liked this because the colours stood out from the black and white and it was easy to the eye.
The font i used was 'Brush Script MT', i like this font because it is a script font, it is easy to read and quite formal so it broadens out to the older generation as well as the younger generation.

If i were to make it again i would focus on making it in after effects and learning how to do it, but as we had such little time i preferred using Motion as it was easier to learn. I would also try and make my footage less shaky.

Here is my final piece:
