Sound Project - Create a Camera in After Effects (TUTORIAL)

For my sound design project I decided to add some movement to my image. As Simon said, we are not allowed to alter the image, but we can play with it as long as it stays the way it is. I am doing crops but also including movement.

Some people might thing that using a Ken Burns effect in Final Cut Pro will be an easy way to add movement to an image, but the truth is that you don't have full control of it by using that effect. In order to get a more exact movement and a change of perspective in my image, I decided to create a virtual camera to move it around as if the image was not a still, but actual clips. Giving that sensation is a bit hard since nothing is really moving, but if done well, you can create a different perspective for it.

I made a tutorial on how to create and use a camera in After Effects to show how I did it. It is not a hard task and even if it is simple, it can be used for a lot of movements, giving sensations of a real camera moving around the clip.

Here is my tutorial:
