Individual Visual Effect Project 2.1 Planning and Filming,

 What kind of effect is it? 

The visual effect I am planning to make is a fire effect, as well as using visual effects I would like to create an orange based lighting that surrounds the fire effect, for example: in this image here, is how I want mine to turn out;

Using virtual effects I want to create fire, it should be an orange flame, with a glow right around it. there are different ways I can make this effect come to life. Like I said before I can use a virtual visual effect using computer software, including green screen etc. to add an orange glow I can either use: Three point lighting (adjusting the lighting to a certain brightness to make it look as the fire is creating a glowing effect near the subject, or using the effects option. 

When would I like to use the effect?

There are many alternative ways for me to use the fire effect, for instance I can either use, a flamethrower effect, a fire burning a building, someone with supernatural fire powers or even a campfire place etc. Here are some examples:

and much more etc.

What equipment would I need?

1. A (PC) Computer or Macbook

2. Some editing software such as; Adobe Premiere Pro (2020) etc.

3. A Camera (like a Canon)

4. Green screen (to make the effect)

5. some lighting (for atmosphere)

6. You will need a cast of 1 or more actor(s) to perform the effect or experience it.

7. Optionally you can use props (costumes are not necessary).

8. You will need Batteries for the camera.

9. An SD card for the camera and the computer (32GB Min).

10. A USB for the computer (32GB Min). (Optional)

What location would I go to film my effect?

I could film outdoors in any location, but it would feel more risky and restricted due to the current situation of the pandemic, preferably I would film my effect in a studio with a green screen as the background, so that I can choose any location using images.

Update: The effect idea had changed into a teleportation effect instead since it was easier to perform then the fire visual effect.

How to set up a Tripod 1.1: How it is Used,

 A Simple guide of setting up a Tripod Step 1: Start by releasing the tripod legs, in order to do so you must extend the tripod legs, the best method of doing it is to extend from the top down rather than extending from the bottom leg section up. This will help make your tripod more stable that way. Step 2: Release each leg in turn of the height you need. It's better to extend all of the tripod legs to the maximum length rather the getting the height you need for a centre column. Note: only extend the centre column if you need to. As you place your tripod to the ground make sure that once you mount your camera (like a Canon) the leg should be pointing forward and the two side legs should be adjusted so that you will be less likely to knock the tripod during recording. Step 3: Now that you're done, you can now attach the camera to a base plate of the tripod, each tripod will include a baseplate), which clips/clamps the camera into place into the head of the plate...

Evaluation of what I did on Monday 23rd of November 2.1 Planning and Filming,

 What I previously did I have created a visual effect with a spaceship flying using green screen. There is a trick into making this effect, to make it work you will need a prop that looks like a spaceship using invisible thread. To perform the effect first you must set up your green screen, once you've done so you can then get the thread ready and cut it into any length you wish, once you are done you can then tie the tread and connect it to the spaceship, the thread will be hard to notice if the lighting isn't directly pointing to the string. I have created clips of the spaceship using a canon and recorded some clips, once I am happy with what I recorded, I started using Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 and added the clips to my project, once done I have went to google and chosen an image, the one I selected will be the background for the clip. Here is an example of what i have done:

How to use a Camera (Canon) 1.1: How it is Used,

Using a Camera (Canon)  Step 1: To turn the camera on there is an on and off switch on the top right end above on the camera, flick the switch up if you want the camera switched on or flick the switch down if you wish to switch it off. Also take the cover off the lens so you can see what’s displayed on the screen. Step 2: look at the Icons on the top of your camera, you can twist them left or right to select different modes, though personally it’s easier if you just use the regular photo and video mode since they are simple and are one of the most common uses in many movie projects. Step 3: make sure you adjust the camera lens so it will help with focus by twisting it left or right, Behind the lenses you can twist the stick as well to help zoom in and out, or you can press the + button with the magnifying glass symbol. Press the + button a few times and it will zoom back out.  Step 4: You can press the camera icon button once if you are taking a photo, you can press the camera...
