Special Effects - Ghost

There are a few different ways to create a translucent (ghostly) effect. The most common way I found was this:

"Creating a ghost effect for video is quite simple, as long as you have an editing package capable of using layers and setting layer opacity.

First of all, set the camera up on a tripod and frame the shot. Shoot the scene empty (without the ghost), then shoot the scene again with the ghost actor. It's very important that both versions (takes) of the shot are framed identically, so don't move the camera at all. The background also needs to be still.

Import both takes of the shot into your editing program (Adobe Premiere in this case). Place the empty shot on the first video track and the ghost shot on the next track.

Set the opacity of the ghost shot to around 30%, or whatever setting achieves the best result."

This is different video editing software which could be a bit of a problem, but I think the principle of it is transferable. 

Flashback Special Effects

Flashback Special Effects

Portraying a past point in time in films can be done in several different ways and using different effects to show the audience the difference in the scene they are watching. This can be done in several different ways:

• Blurring the image
• Showing it deliberately monochrome
• Add a misty border around the edge of the screen
• Apply an echo or other sound effect to everyone's voice

Examples:

In Big Fish, all of the flashbacks have shots with more brightly-colored objects in them and a slight glowing effect on the characters' faces.

In Ciao! Manhattan when Susan Superstar tells stories of her time in New York, the flashbacks appear in cool, glamorous black and white.

At the beginning of Kill Bill Vol. 1, the flashback scene of the Bride in the church is shown in black and white. 

The 'Jacob's Ladder' party scene is shot to be disorientating and strange, and gives a frantic air to the scene as odd things are scene moving quickly.

List of tricky shots, edits and effects

1. The close up shot of the ring transitioning to another scene could be hard, as it could be difficult to make this change in scenery go by unnoticed and run smoothly.
2. pull focus on ghost in background.
3. Pan and zoom may be difficult as we don't know how we're going to move the camera because it needs to be close to the floor
4. Sound bridges may be difficult at some points

Props

Props

The only prop necessary is the ring, as the rest is just setting and costuming. 

To fit the idea of the ring being old and abandoned, it doesn't need to cost very much money so probably will not stretch our budget. I can have a look at second hand shops or online to find something suitable, (probably brass or gold).

I found this on the site 'Etsy' that specialises in second hand or handmade products. This costs £1.99, and has the sort of look that we are looking for, appearing quite faded and old. 

This is different that what is written in the script, but has a unique sort of look about it and seems quite strange and as if it fits in a horror genre. It does however cost a lot more at £8.28. 

This is a lot like the first one in terms of being old and vintage looking, and is also cheap at £1.99. 

This is a more simplistic choice and probably the sort of thing we will chose to use. It is more subtle, and has that old, worn look to it. It is also very cheap at £1.64. 

Costume Ideas

Here are some ideas of the costumes that we will be wearing:



For the girl who gets killed at the beginning:

as the flashback is set in the 70s we tried to find some clothes to fit the time and make it look more real, this is what we found:
