Producing special effects for Strayed Above 


When creating the special effects, we had to research the different types they were such as models and make up which was used on one of our character Kyle Black to show how the explosion impact has damaged him so we needed to research different types of make-up to find the right materials to have this effect. We used to learn many and tried many makeup effects such as scar wax and 3d gel.

Fake blood was using gelatine, aloe Vera glycerine and mixing them two tighter to make coagulated blood. And a way of making fake tare able skin is by using tissue and  PVA glue this  was ripped and teared in the middle of to simulate the effect of a cut and the skin was coloured in with red lipstick and the fake blood which we made was placed and top and was spread.

Underneath is the full method on how to create the skin of 3D gel and the equipment used.

The scar wax is different to the 3d gel as it gets rid of the use of latex and the wax is applied directly to the skin and is moulded in to a scar type wound. The use of fake blood is still used but save time in the creation process. The scar wax was used in our production due to time constraints and was used effectively in our production.



Above is an audio commentary and video of the creation of our spaceship which was nicknamed the SSU-317 the creation process used scissors, glue, hot glue gun, box knife and double-sided tape and the materials of the ship were plastic bottles and other recyclables. The creation of our spaceship was first designed on paper and when creating our spaceship, we used our concept art in front of us to create the piece of equipment and help keep the idea of our ship in place.

How meaning is created in Strayed Above The final media product is in line with client brief due to the visual and special effects. The visual effects applied which include creating a mask path around screens , windows as well as compositing footage to fit within a certain scale. The visual effects show the damage of the  infrastructure to the spaceship as the screens in the spaceship go dark or down meaning the signal has been lost or damaged as before it was working fine before the explosion. The special effects makeup used within the teaser scene as well show how the explosion of the ship has affected crew members such as Kyle Black and in which shows how life is on board the spaceship as communication systems have stopped working and the crew have taken damage. The visual effects also create a sense of realism towards the final product as the visual effects display different space scenes and mask over windows to give the illusion that the characters are in space as we se...

Resolving Legal and Ethical issues When creating this product legal and ethical issues have to be considered for. Such as the music for the show we cannot take a music track which is not royalty free as this is illegal. This will cause complications for the product which might halt the time of production and also might not be able to even screen the show if copyrighted music is heard without the use of a license. The plot and the story of the show can’t be taken from another SCI-FI show as well as this will be just copying ideas and would be stealing another IP’s content for our gain so we should be able to research and create our own ideas for the show while including the brief which was given towards us. The ethical issues that may arise is the use of our makeup since one of our actors is Muslim the use of proper gelatine will go against his beliefs and wouldn’t be allowed so a substitute gelatine will have to be used when creating our special effects. When c...
