Before the X-Men segment appears, I needed a transition from the Bridesmaids sequence. Based on my designs (here), I envisioned a white / light grey background therefore I decided to use the bride (white icon) to form the background. I used some position and scale keyframes to zoom into the head of the icon, forming a white background.
The coin in X-Men is featured heavily throughout the film which is why I have incorporated it into my title sequence. In sync with the music, the 3 main elements of the coin appear - the coin itself, eagle / symbol, type. This then disappears, when the magneto helmet (also featured prominently in the film) appears from behind the viewer, along with a blue background in anticipation for the Harry Potter sequence.
Harry Potter
Once the Magneto helmet disappears, I used the write-on effect (used in my Silent Movie videos), to 'draw' the 'Deathly Hallows' icon. However, I initially ignored the timing of the video but later positioned the keyframes in time with the 3 main beats of the track.
Deathly Hallows icon -> Harry Potter glasses
I imported the deathly hallows icon as a composition and as I wanted the circle to retain after the write-on had ended (to eventually form a pair of glasses), the triangle and line had to disappear. I wanted these to reduce in scale, in sync, towards the centre of the frame.
Rather than importing the glasses as a separate layer, I duplicated the circle from the Deathly Hallows icon to form the other lens. To match these transitions with the 3 beats of the track; on the first, the triangle and line disappears; on the second, the circle moves to the left to leave room for the other circle and the third; this circle appears.
Lightning bolt / Fixes
I altered the Deathly Hallows icon segment to sync with the 3 beats of the track - each asset appears at each beat. The background changes and a lightning bolt appears using the same write-on effect, again, in time with the music
