Intro Title Sequence:
The Intro Sequence introduces the viewer to the instructor and the look and feel of the graphics package for the class. It serves almost like and animated book cover. Amanda Gorman’s graphics package utilized a richly illustrated approach to bring the imagery of her poetry to life. The intro title sequence references her poetic legacy with imagery from Maya Angelou ( I know Why the Caged Bird Sings) and pans forward to show her speaking at the 2020 presidential inauguration, and into the horizon of limitless possibilities.
