Ghost Effect

I have been experimenting different effects using Final Cut Pro. I watched different videos on youtube of how to include different effects onto videos like the one above.

I found a video that shown how to create a distorted ghost effect, I experimented using this because the short film that I will be producing is going to be about the sub-genre supernatural which includes ghostly figures in normal places such as a room/house. This then relates to where the short film is going to be filmed.

The set up above was the way that I produced the video. I bladed the beginning of the video of the background and layered it so then that background would continue throughout the whole video. I added on the whole video the 'ghost' effect which created a very ghosty and distorted effect, this was due to the fact that I moved accidentally when I filmed which meant that the background behind didn't duplicate perfectly. Ways in which i can reduce this movement is by potentially using a tripod instead to keep the background and the video all inline. Reasons behind using the 'ghost' effect reflects the sub-genre of supernatural. I wanted to include this style of editing within my final production of my short film, this is to show that our editing is unique and by using this effect allows the short film to be abiding by the conventions of a horror film to make the production a lot more conventional.
