After Effects

While creating our after effects, we came across a new effect which appealed to us. It was of a face talking and an effect in front of the face so no features of the face where seen.
As our media practical piece is based on horror this effect really appealed to us and we thought it would go perfectly with what we have currently filmed.
It was not an effect we are largely familiar with and so it took lots of research and following videos which we found on the Internet, however we have now managed to create an effect which has been finished and polished to perfection. Now when we come to arranging our footage into a full film, we are then able to add this transition where we feel it is best.

This effect as we executed it, we saw how simple it really was. We went to a dark room and filmed myself, just talking to the camera, as funny as it sounds that was the base of this whole transition. Simply talking to the camera, and i had to keep my head perfectly straight and at a certain height for the camera and just spoke with a slight aggression to the camera.
Once it was filmed we then it was uploaded to the Mac and the first thing we did was mute the sound. then, the it became an aggressive conversation with the camera as seen in the video above.
After my face was cut out so it was the only thing in shot to edit and then the editing began.
