Computer graphics have revolutionized modern day screen production. From digital titles design, to visual effects, image correction, and 3D characters - computer generated imagery, or CGI, at its best can either be visually stunning and obvious, or subtly invisible.

In this introductory course, you will work with a professional motion designer to create your own stunning title sequence using Adobe After Effects. You'll also look at a range of title sequences from existing films and analyse them from a design perspective.

Who should do this course?
This course is designed for those seeking to acquire the basic skills required to create animated titles and motion graphics in Apple Motion, or for filmmakers wanting to better understand the range of digital tools available to enhance creativity.

Where can I go after this course?
Graduates can apply for work in the Titles Design department on a professional shoot as an Assistant, or may continue creating independent productions.
