Practising time-lapse using After Effects

For this project I really wanted to do a time lapse to show the skills we have in using camera equipment. I put forward my thoughts on this to the group and Max and Kyle both really liked the idea and decided that it would look good in the video. As the song is about dark blue we decided to do a time-lapse of the sky, either a sunrise, sunset or just a change in time from the clouds and sky. This is so it relates to the song. As I, or any of the group had done this kind of thing before I decided to go on YouTube to look at how-to videos. Here is the one I found most helpful. 

I decided to take a sequence of shots from out my bedroom window of the trees and sky, this was to give me some images to work with to practise my technique. 

So after i had imported my images into the program you firstly have to select all the images and drag them onto the film icon underneath the project menu. This compacts the images into one sequence in which you can determine the length of each still image. You then have to Right click on the source name, i called mine "Original" and select time and then enable time remapping, this enables you to change the length of time of the sequence.
