The Polaroid's we all though would be a great relation to much of the action within the screen, as our main protagonist was obsessed with her friend and continued to take pictures of her. i believed this would tie in with the ending shot. When Leanne turns crazy a starts ripping to shreds the images she had previously taken on Toni.
We began thinking of ways we could incorporate this cleverly, and as we had been using Adobe After Effects quite often we felt the animation process that we had used for the Production logo would be great however we didn't know if it would work very well.
I had found an image that became a great inspiration for us, as it was very clever as well as creepy. we knew we could not create something as creative as it as we did not have the time, nor the expertise. However we begun to work on parts of it just to see how and if we could incorporate even a part of it, or just the idea into our opening sequence.
-The original Image
From this original image we took our images, i had taken and put them into space we thought appropriate. To create a neat edge in our images which i placed into areas, we put a soft edge blur on the edges. however in certain areas you could still see the image underneath, which i knew ,we didn't want at all. I came to the realisation that this would not work as I would have to construct an image from scratch and have the right software to achieve this. All was not lost. when i had shown the image to the group, we gained a lot of inspiration and came up with another effect idea.
- An image which i implemented in the montage.
- The Montage try out.
From creating this montage we collectively thought of how to input a polaroid image cleverly into our title sequence. I then found a blank template and decided the same way in which imported images in before it could be done again. This time it would work effectively as there would be no image behind. Another positive was that our images we had taken would be able to be seen clearly and largely.
- The blank Polaroid frame
- The Final Polaroid Tester.
In completing the tester i knew we had a great effect, my only problem was that what if this effect would overwhelm the screen and take away from the simpleness of our title frames. Another problem would be if it took away from the screen and may of looked very tacky and the audience then wouldn't concentrate on the titles and credits at all. These were constraints of using this particular effect. Once showing it and talking to the groups we decided that we had a lot to already amend and from getting our rough cut feedback we had things to change and input already. Once we had made the amendments of reshooting certain parts and adding in extra shots, we referred back to the credits. Each of us liked this effect and we saw that using the Adobe suite we could adapt it to suit us. So we used the effect, placed various images onto it concerning which frame it was and also used it to introduce the credit titles. Overall it ended up being a great idea
