Green Screen

As my selected horror sub genre is supernatural, I want to try and create a ghostly figure, this is to portray the overall sub genre well. By taking a video of someone in front of a green screen, I want to try and manipulate this into my filming production. This will make my film much more realistic and abide by the conventions of a supernatural horror film. To try and include this, I will experiment using the app Final Cut Pro. This app will allow me to pick and chose which scenes I want to incorporate this into. By using editing skills just like this, it will make my film seem such more professional and wont make it stand out as 'novice'. By using Final Cut Pro, I will be able to add and take away the ghostly figure within scenes, as well as making the supernatural character move towards and way from the character to then create effect as well as jump scares which will be complimented with sound effects and music tracks to increase the atmosphere.

This Youtube video above gives an idea of how I will be hoping to achieve my supernatural character within my videoing. Instead of using the ghost options within the Final Cut Pro app, I want to create mine from scratch to make it seem more realistic as I am going to use a real person who is included within my short film already. Ways in which I want to achieve this is by having the person move in front of the green screen to obviously make it more realistic because it is doing a humanly action of moving.
My character in front of the green screen will be dressed up in hospital clothing as well as filing make up of cuts and bruises to transform the characteristics of a ghost. I want them to run towards the camera, this is so then I can use this as an example for a jump scares.


Why should I include supernatural editing within my short film?

Realism is something that I want my movie to show and by using editing skills will allow scenes to see much more rationally accurate for my horror sub genre.

Practise Filming

For the short film, I didn't want to just jump into the filming process without having some sort of practise and to work around with the location (lighting & props) - This allowed me to gain some clips that I can potentially use within the film as well as having some scenes where I can replicate again in the real filming. By incorporating a practise run of filming for the short film, after collecting all clips and looking back, there are scenes that don't particularly fit together that need clips to lead into it.  This has then allowed me to plan out what shots and different camera angles I can use within clips as preparation for the real short film filming. This prep I feel helps analyse where certain faults can occur within the real filming can be prevented before filming. I performed 2 different practice filming sessions, this was to experiment around with lighting inside of the barn/building at different times of the day as well as experimenting with other possible ...
