Editing: Day Eight - Effects

In our editing session today, we wanted to focus on effects for our film.

One of the effects we wanted to create in our film from the start was for the 'researching' scene in our film. We wanted to have a clip of where our actors face was shown even whilst he was researching so that our audience could see his facial expressions and reactions to what is happening in the film.

To do this we overlapped the two scenes we wanted to put together, one on top and one of bottom, we then proceeded to changing the opacity of one of the scenes to create a 'transparent' effect in which you could see his face even though he was on the laptop.




We also done other effects during this session such as some video filters. We used video filters mainly when the 'mysterious' figure is shown up in which the screen would go blurry and the colour would distort a bit. Although it is not apparent in the picture I will show below, it will be clearly evident in our final showing of the video.



















Another effect we used was video transitions. We mainly used this during action cuts in our film to move our character from one place to another. We found it to be effective as it would shorten certain parts of our film which would have been too long if we were to leave it as they were.
