Special Effects Planning

Now that we have the initial idea and storyboard to the video complete, we need to look into what other videos are using in terms of special effects.

our video is going to make use of a lot of CGI effects. Throughout the video we want to use screening which will involve keeping the light even in each shot, giving it a much more professional look and cleaner finish. We will be shooting the video with an HD ready camera, which puts us at an advantage in terms of effects. As far as lighting is concerned, we want to create the effect of gloominess using CGI which will set the mood for each shot; this means lighting up shots to reflect happiness, with vibrant colours. Aswell as editing the lighting we want to use effects that play with the weather instead of waiting for the right type of weather we want for the scene. for example we can use realism to put rain in a scene or leaves blowing in the wind.
