Special effects:
In this trailer there are lots of different special effects
used. Special effects can be used to separate each clip from each other; they
can also be used to make it look like it is being filmed from a hand held
camera. In this trailer they have used the transitions effectively as they
aren't over used, and separate each clip from each other in a professional
standard. They have also used them to create different atmospheres.
Transitions:
In this trailer there are numerous of transitions used, so here are some examples of some of them:
Pixerlated
This transition is a Pixel effect. So in this clip it starts
pixerlated and then it fades into the clear picture. This effect is used to
create the atmosphere of them in a car using a hand held camera.
Shutter
This is a shutter special effect and they have used this to
create the sense of the hand held camera, and you can see that the camera has
shuttered causing this effect. The reason for this is to make it feel like you’re
watching it in third person, so it feels like as if you are there.
Horizontal bars
This is a horizontal bars effect and this is used to make it
look like the clip is being played on VHS player.
Static
This is a static special effect and this is again used to
make it look like it is being played back through the camera or on an old
telly. This transition is used to create a sense of a mysterious atmosphere.
Flash
This is used right at the end of the clip and it is used
just as they look at the meteor, so this flash makes it look like something has
happened and this is when they obtain their powers! After the flash happens the
trailer ends, so this is used to create a cliff hanger so then people will want
to watch the actual movie to see what happens after they get their powers.
Special effects/Transitions conclusion:
In this trailer they have used lots of different types of
special effects. The makers of this trailer have purposely used these special
effects to create a first person effect; they have done this to make it look
like everything is being watched back on a hand held camera. For example they
have used a pixel effect and this makes it look like the camera is out of focus
and they have also used a shutter effect so this makes it look like someone is
holding the camera as it isn't still. So overall they have made this trailer to
make you feel as if you are there with them
Camera work:
They have used a hand held camera to give us the sense of
first person. By using first person it makes us feel like we are there with them
and that we are the camera man. They have also used a lot of different shot
types to create the first person feeling. They have used a lot of different camera angles
to create different atmospheres and also to highlight certain objects that may
be in the clip.
