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
