By looking at all my silent movies i am rather happy with the result i set out to experiment with a different After Effects technique for each one:

1) Here i experimented with moving different anchor points and finding the advantages of them I also experimented with individual animation on each letter and to push the skills i had learnt at this point as far as possible while using X, Y and Z tools. I am very happy with the result i got from this animation but more with what i learnt during the process of making it. 

2)This explored camera's for the first time it is a very simple animation but it was more an experiment to test what after affects could do. To improve this video i could of imaged a floor for the letters to fall on and produce an end point for the video. 

3)This video mainly explored changes in pace, getting movements spot on for explosions and slowing back down while falling. To improve this animation i could of ignored the imaginary composition walls and made the word disperse in all direction in Z space. 

4)This video explored photoshop composition importing, depth and Z space. It helped me gain experience in producing an effect i desired instead of just using one of the standard pre set effects for after effects. To improve this video i could of used easy ease on some of the key frames.

5) This final video explored hold key frames, pace, Z space and blur effect. This was my favourite animation as its simple but yet really entertaining and it just helps to break up that idea that a composition is a flat screen. 

Overal i could of experimented with a little bit more colour within the type but personally for me it was more about getting processes and techniques down i wanted to use for my main sequence.
