The Power of Books!

This week is exam weeks so the pressure is on and there no time to waste. I've spent the past week working on my video in After Effects. I had difficulty with the animation of the text. Poster design and displaying text in a neat and interesting way is not my strong point. Therefore I asked my lecturer of for feedback last Thursday (7th December) and it was suggested to display it like someone was saying the words out loud and to be animated in a way that they were being said.
Therefore I recorded myself reading the story out loud and tried to animate it so it looked like how it was sounded. However I wasn't happy with the result and it just looked messy. Also my text was very boring and just in a basic line.
Here is a screen shot of what it looked like:

I made a kinetic typography for another assignment in the past so I decided to animate the text in that kind of a style. It looks neater and it's a little bit easier to read. I added effects to the text like typewriter, dissolve and changing the color. 

Here is a link to my final video:
