2. Watermarks
• It was raining when I was filming my product, this meant that
while filming was carried out rain went onto the camera lens,
meaning some of the film is blurred out by water drops.
• I would argue that this adds a 1st person effect and makes the
viewer partake in the movie. It makes them feel like they are
actually in the movie rather than just watching it as it seems
like they have the same effects happening to them (the
audience) as the characters in the movie have happening to
them.
• The water drops works perfectly on the characters’ first
person shots as it feels like they have water in their eyes.
3. Shakiness
• On watching the playback of the footage I had shot, I realised
that some of the footage was ‘shakey’.
• This fits in with the speed of my product as well as the music I
have added. It also fits in with the characters panicked frame
of mind, he is being chased and is probably confused and
worried, this means that he would probably be shaking in the
movie. Once again the characters feel like they are getting the
same effects as those in the movie.
• There were some shots I didn’t want to shake, to correct this I
used the stabilisation feature on final cut pro x to steady the
shot.
