Developing my Idea

On Friday I managed to record some footage for my first QR Code which entails asking people what they know about the history of Halloween. The idea I had in mind for this QR code was a montage sequence of people's reactions to my question in order to give a realistic impression that not many people do know the history of Halloween. From this my aim is to provide a brief history of Halloween either through kinetic typography or a link to an informative website.
I did  however encouter a few problems on Friday with After Effects once I had finished gathering my footage for the montage sequence. Due to the size of the files it was taking a very long time for the sequence to be rendered which in turn held me back quite a bit. After being advised by my tutor and peers to use Adobe Premiere to edit my sequence, I was able to speed up the editing process and my next step for this QR Code is to add kinetic typography before the sequence begins with the text saying 'How much do you know about the history of Halloween?'
By the end of today I hope to achieve becoming more familiar with kinetic typography as it is something I have only touched upon once during university therefore it might take a while and finish off around 3 out of 6 QR Codes.

The image below shows what I have done so far in terms of editing my montage sequence;
