BEHIND THE SCENES - SOURCING MY SPECIAL EFFECTS:
On this part of the sequence, my actor needed to look like he has some form of magical powers and that veins were popping out of his head, face and neck. To create this look I had to get a green face pen and draw on this effect. To do this I briefly followed his veins on his head, face and neck with the pen. Then I went over them in more detail and added more than usual to make it look more dramatic.
REVIEWING AND EDITING MY SOURCE FOOTAGE:
This shot will work for my visual effects, this is because I will be adding a mist/snow effect to this clip. I believe that it will go well as the sky is already the typical colour and the camera is locked so I wont have to track the effects.
This shot will help with the narrative because it enforces the location. Bikes are typically associated with children and it represents that.
I will use a dip to black transition for this clip. It will go to the next clip of the actor in the corridor, the transition will last 5 seconds.
I think that this shot will be very effective when in the final piece as it represents the location and theme very well. The shot has perfect lighting and the sky was as I had hoped it would be throughout my shoot.
There were no actors needed for this clip so my directing of my actors didn't need to be effective.

BEHIND THE SCENES - SOURCING MY SPECIAL EFFECTS:
In this part of the sequence, I needed it to look like there was ice crystals coming through the ground, walls and roof. I intend to add pictures of crystals on the walls to make this effect. To make sure I make this works out, I will have to lock the camera and pulsate the lights at the exact same time. If i successfully pull this off the Visual Effect should look really dramatic and amazing. I will need to make sure that the lighting is perfect and the shot is still otherwise this just wont work.
