Editing: Day Nine

During this editing session we also done another effect we wanted to do since the beginning of our filming. As our film was heavily based on cameras, we wanted to be able to create a shutter effect when our actor is taking pictures as part of the film. However it was not as simple as creating an effect so we had to find a way to do it which took us a while as we had complications finding a good solution.


Eventually we came up with a solution which was to click on the clip and use the 'Motion' video tab. We then used the crop section on this. In the crop section we had to create intervals and control the top half and bottom half of the screen. For the top and bottom we created the same intervals in order to make the shutter symmetrical and meet in the middle at the same point and immediately going back to normal just like a camera. We done a few of these shutters to show our actor taking pictures. Pictures showing us doing this will be below along with a video to show how it looks in the film.
