Special Effects and FeedBack

We have used transitions, C.G.I. images and special effects in our music video. These help to convey the fantasy world and to make it interesting and fun for the audience, again attracting our target audience. We have used;

Keys


- Blue Screen Key (which we have used for the footage filmed on blue screen, to change the colour of the background)
- Chromakey (we also used this for some of the blue screen footage, because it had more features than the blue screen key which allowed us to experiment more)
- Color Key (we used this to achieve the halo effect, an outline around the Barbies, to represent the fantasy world)
-Luma Key (we used this when the footage was filmed on the white screen to change the background)
Transitions


-Cross
-Zoom

-Swap

-Doors

-Cube Spin

-Swing In

-Tumble Away

-Push


The transitions help the video to flow and make it more interesting.


Computer Generated Images

-The Hearts (emphasise the femininity, fun and happiness, especially since our hearts are pink rather than red)

-The circles (the circles have been used to create a fun atmosphere)

-Pink Backgrounds



Special Effects


-Added Brightness and Contrast

-Split Screen

-Changed Opacity
Another media studies student watched our film and commented that the transitions helped to add fun and comedy. They commented that they worked really well in keeping continuity and recommended that we added more, as when the student previewed our work there were only a few in. We added more and really liked the end result.
