After arranging my photos the next thing I did was add animations, transitions, and effects. I decided to add these throughout the video so it wouldn't be boring and whoever watched the video was engaged and has interest in watching. I added transitions between the videos and photos. I also added an animation in the beginning of the video. I first added an animation to the beginning of the video. I added the zoom 1 effect which is a zoom out camera movement. For every photo, I would use the same transition. I would use the blur effect but for video transitions I would use different ones. I decided to use the same transitions for photos because I thought it would look better to have a more simple commercial and not have the viewer be overwhelmed with too many transitions. I used different transitions for videos because I wanted to display them more than the photos and make them look more interesting.Also I wanted people to know that a video was about to be played since it was a different transition. Which let people know that the next clip was going to be a video. So for the first video transition I used the pull the screen left which basically overlayed the video on top and pulled it forward to the left. I picked this one because I thought it looked really nice. The next transition I did was for a video, I decided to chose the open horizontally effect which basically pulled the clip before to open to the video. Then lastly I decided to do the dissolve transition and added an animation that was slide left. Then for each video's I decided to add video effects. Every video I decided to use the same effect to keep a continuous theme and pattern throughout the video. The video effect I used was camcorder 2 which looked like the video was filmed on an actual camera with the recording image in the left and the battery showing and the other features. This gave the commercial a more prettier and clean look. Lastly I added one last transition at the end of the video called blink to help end the video.
