effects used

effects:
firstly we placed down our two clips of the white light and green light in the black room- these we are foundation for the music video. we then lip synced both footages with the music. we then chopped the beginning of each footage before the singing. we did this to match the up beats in the music, we did this effect so the video was varied and interesting and to get a varied amount of shot.

we then layered an image of the white room over the top of her first singing part this was because the lip syncing in this particular seen was better. although looking over this with the beginning we decided it didnt match the other footage so we messed around with contrast and brightness. this was to make the clip darker and more eerier to fit. we then played around with colour correction to get a colour which looked more like the colour lights we used in our previous shots. we then got a black matte and layered it underneath the footage. we then marked out points around her to highlight her so we could play around with transparency of the background to make it all but disappear so the black matte would show through - this made it look more like the black room. we could not disappear all of the background because parts of her would then disappear as she moved. this gave the effect of a white and blue colour shadow around her.

with the colour lights in the black room we zoomed in on some of the shots and moved the to the sides this was to make the shots more interesting as she was not always in the middle.

we the brought in the footage of the fan running into her room and ripping up a poster of the star. with this footage we believed again it was too boring so we played with contrast and brightness to make it darker and sharper. we also chopped this footage up to make it more jumpy so more effective. with this footage we also coped at pasted the footage above but moved it slightly out of place in parts, with this top layer we then lowered the transparency, this gave a ghost effect, this made the shot alot more interesting.

next different shot - paparazzi. for this shot we placed a white matte over the top of the footage, we then used the pen tool to mark several places on the transparency line of the footage, we then dragged down the points alternately, to give a zig zag effect. this made it look like cameras we flashing and following the star.

next fan - for this shot again with the last fan bit we played around with the brightness and contrast to give a sharper and darker effect. and chopped up effect and ghost effect. we reversed this shot so it looked like the screwed up posters and headlines looked like they were coming towards her, this gave an interesting point of view, we the froze the image on the headlines and re played the same footage but this time not in reverse so the fan was pushing the headlines away.

paparazzi shot again - in the shop , flashes white matte, zig zag effect.

fans running up to star - ghost effect ( over layered image over top so two, moved slightly out of place in some parts and lowered transparency.) chopped up shots and moved the round so in wrong order and copied some so appeared twice.

news reader - we over layered moving text with blue back ground, and typed in the words we wanted with font and size. we then made the text smaller so it appeared at the bottom of the screen like professional news/breaking news. we then over layered the shot with a fuzzy matte this looked like when a TV has no aerial. we then lowered transparency so it only made shot slightly fuzzy, this made it look like a real t.v and a real news programme.

next walking down street paranoid - for this shot we tried many different effects to make it more interesting from speeding it up to chopping it up but none of these worked so we decided to slow the shot down by reducing its spped to 50% instead of 100%.

next shot green spot light - layered image twice but put top one slightly out of placed so ghost effect we then zig zaged them both so they were in and out this fit with the fact that she was getting crazier.
white spot light the same

next shot - close up.. for this shot we decided to make it look more disorientating by putting a fish eye effect on it this made the clip rounded and like a sphere.

green light - zoomed in out out very slightly so no two fast but so nice effect.

white room same as before.

faded both clip and music out at end. as too long
