Movie+effects

Students need to be very clear as to the reason why they're using a particular effect and be able to explain these reasons when asked. Only use effects if they help get the message across to the audience.

Green screen
· Interview yourself · Interview a famous person · Here are the answers what are the questions · Removing parts of your body · Green gloves to move parts in an animation · Use rotation/fan to pretend you’re flying · Video in background is a way of providing a setting for a character using green screen

Reasons why we use special effects
· Comedy (too much sugar) · Travel: showing a jouney quickly because the focus of the story is on the destination · Displaying events over time: film sunrise to sunset, concert or special day, playground, renovation, cooking · Transition between key scenes · Quick rewind · Stunts and action shots · Reactions · Romantic running · Sports · Critical parts of movie and drama · Instructional videos · Emotions : feeling dizzy, whoozy… · Olden days · Show feelings (green with envy, red with anger…) · Dream sequences · Helping audience to focus on particular parts of the scene
