Text Message Visual Effects

To modernise my production, I am going to try to replicate exterior phone notifications as seen on other productions such as Hollyoaks and Sherlock.

Here is a video tutorial produced by the animator at Hollyoaks on how it is done:



Although it will be a struggle to replicate something like this, it will benefit my production by making it appear to a higher quality and modernised. A teacher has stated that it will only be possible to complete this on the 'After Effects' by Adobe; however, it may be possible to do on iMovie or Final Cut Pro through superimposition. I will definitely need to allow myself time to experiment this.
