Research & Planning: After Effects tutorial

This video shows an animation made in After Effects in which lots of different effects have been merged together. This video has inspired me to use After Effects in my own product, therefore I plan to play around with the programme and try to create my own sequence. 

I would like to use After Effects for the title sequence in my documentary. I have not yet decided exactly what kind of sequence I will try to create, but I have watched some tutorials on how to use the programme as it is completely new to me.
