One of my transitions that I know will be hard to
complete is the transition that enters the newspaper and ends up in the lake
where the drowning is happening. It will involve superimposing and then
attaching the two shots together in AfterEffects. In order to practice this
shot I decided to trial it using a standard digital camera. I recorded myself
entering a room and took a recording of a picture on the wall. I then replaced
the picture on the wall with the first frame of my video. This will mirror how
I transition from the man sitting with the newspaper in his hand to the
drowning in the lake.
Below is the practice shot:
Evaluating this shot: This shot achieves what I
plan to do in my final product, but requires some improving. Firstly, the
footage is far from brilliant , I didn't factor in lighting but the focus of
this practise was the editing of the transition itself. I have also decided
that it would be more dramatic and more effective if I slow down the 'zoom'
into the newspaper based on this practice.
