Video Copilot: Animated Polygon

CC2222 Motion Graphics Design
Task: Video Copilot: Animated Polygon
The task given was to create a simple motion graphics according to the given tutorial by the lecturer. We are required to amend the elements according to our preference by changing from color scheme to shapes based on our own preference by using the Adobe After Effects to create the animation. 
The first process is to create a new composition in Adobe After Effect and adding a Gradient effect which can be found on the right side menu "Effects & Presets". Changes were made under the 'Transform' menu. In a new composition, I created a shape polygon with six edges and transformed it to a hexagon as shown in the figure below.
Changes were made in the 'Ring' layer as shown above. The 'Gradient' effect was also inserted and 'hide' the layer. Then, a 'Time Displacement' effect was inserted on the Polygon to make a polygon shape into the image below. Changes were made as shown.
Then, the composition will be Pre-Composed and in the new composition, Shadow effect was added to give the Polygon a shadow as shown in the figure below.
The background is just added by simply importing a JPG image into the project, drag into the layers and a few changes made such as the colors and opacity.
Finally, in a new pre-composed layer, 'Time Remap' effect was added by simply right clicking on the layer, choose 'Time' and select 'Enable Time Remapping'. Changes in keyframe can be seen in the figure above.
The project was then added to Render Queue and exported as AVI to be edited in Adobe Premiere Pro.
In Adobe Premiere Pro, i imported the video and adding the texts by using the effects provided in Premiere Pro which can be located on the Essential Graphics. The changes can be seen as shown in the figure above. However, there are no media being shown on the screen due to changes being made on other files before doing this post.
Finally, export the project into MP4.
