I had a clip with one of the characters in my film which was a young girl and she has tears running down her face. I decided to place this at the beginning and try to make her face and the tear running down her face the focus of the clip. So I decided to use a black video and like I create with the vignette effect to the house, I will recreate this but to this clip.
I
tried to position the circle in the centre and wanted the focus to be the tear
that runs down her face so I was particular with the position of the circle and
the feathering of the circle, as I didn't want this to go outside her face.
As for the clip itself I applied a lighting effect and changed the default lighting colour to a purple/blue like a bruise colour. I also changed the shape of the lighting circle and the position, it is more of a flat circle than round and it fills around the eye. I just wanted the eye to be the focus in particular the tears.
This is a before and after of the clip, the after clip looks better, this clip will go at the beginning of the video just after the preview screen. I think this will be a good place for it as it sets the mood to what kind of movie it will be, like the tear represents upset, horror, sad. It gives audiences an insight into the genre of the movie in that first few seconds of the video.
In particular with the text where I have the words "Based on a true story" I believe when people see or know that movies are based on a true story it makes them want to watch it more. It certainly does to me, in the decision to watch a movie. As for the text in this part of the clip, I have text elsewhere in my video also. I used titles and this was very simple and easy to create, I wanted this to be that way. I used the text which I have used many times before in my work, which is Trajan Pro, I think this text was just perfect as I wanted it to be simple.
