Editing - Light burst title

I created a simple effect in after effects by using the clip of Laura and Joe throwing Ton to the floor and adding the light burst effect to the image. I simply clicked on the effect and anchored the light burst to appear on Ton to appear as he is teleporting (falling to heaven) also it leads onto the titles. i intensified the light with keyframes to make it brighter and brighter really quickly to pure white. In this pure white image i added in my title of Family Omens and overlaid with the blending mode over a wine glass filled with water and drips of food colouring exploding inside to give a good blood flow effect to overlay the titles fitting our theme.

Editing - Super speed

To achieve a supernatural feel to my film i wanted to give these supernatural creatures a power in which humans do not so i made them both have super speed to show the incredible powers. To achieve the effect i went into after effects and took a screenshot of the body of the character as shown below and then cut the clip to the point where i want it to start and stop. I took a clean plate shot of the location and framing of the shot. i used this to create the background. I then masked the screenshot and set keyframes on after effects to allow the image to move from one side of the shot to the other. i made this moving of the clip really fast and used directional blur on the screenshot to give a super speed effect. I then got rid of the screenshot as it lined up to another shot with the same framing and made it look like he super speeds in and then stops mid way and runs normally.

Titles - Decision

Out of all of the title choices we had we have selected a few to target audience test which one we should choose out of these. Me and Laura both think the supernatural font is best but we are going to target audience test this.

Sound problems

We had many problems throughout our editing and found this difficult to accomplish a final film but one of our major problems was sound, as the voice of our actors were not picking up on the film so we tried to adjust the gain of the sound but this resulted in the voices having a really crackling and fuzzy noise over the clip. As shown above. To fix this we dropped the gain and raised the volume on the clips and now this has been fixed.

Updates post

We have made a load of changes to our film as we have went through the filming process. We have changed a lot of shots from the original storyboard as we found a lot more opportunities for shots when filming. We also didn't use reflectors to give good lighting on our actors as when we tried we did not see a difference so we decided to cut out this hassle.
