TW: My role in post-production


  • Cutting  length down - by systematically going through each clip and cutting it down, as well as removing some clips altogether - the length was cut from over 5 minutes to just under 3. 
  • Title work on After Effects - after identifying our main title style as being similar to Napoleon Dynamite; whereby they would be incorporated into the shot as if they were not edited in; I personally did work on After Effects to achieve this. 
  • - Masking - in order for the titles, such as the title - 'Brad Warwick-Browne' to appear as if it is part of the set - any objects or movements needed to go over the title. This is shown in the screenshot below - where the scalpel masks the text; as does the antagonist's hand movement:
This involved dragging each yellow point in every frame

It achieved the professional look we desired
  • I also used the masking tool on the title - 'Luca Besate' - in order to reveal the title as the antagonist's arm moves off screen:

  • Title work on Photoshop - to further the feeling of the titles being integrated into the set - the titles needed perspective to be added to them. I did this through putting the titles into photoshop; rasterizing layer, and then altering the size, rotation, and perspective of each title. An example of the effect achieved is below through the title, 'Jack Sporle':

  • - Tracking and sticking - contributing to our effect of having the titles integrated as part of the set - we wished to include a title in the same place for one tracking shot. I achieved this through After Effects by pinpointing spots which the title could stick to -
