Applying Visual effects. 

Here is a side by side capture of the footage of Crain looking at monitors with the use of visual effects and next to it is what it looked like before the effects were added. 

This is footage of me creating and applying our visual to our final product such as making and composition to the footage

Captain crain scene with Visual effects added
Same captain Crain scene without the visual effects added




(Applying visual effects to footage)
and below from 5:56 here is me applying text visual effects over our final product


The footage was first imported then placed onto a queue then when a new composition was created was placed into a square button box as placing straight onto the layer won’t make
The video load or will create a new composition. When placed in this box they will appear on the layers which is shown in the picture below. The different layer mostly consisted of videos of space and galaxies that Crain would see on his monitor and the main footage itself.
The footage queue where footage was placed and waits until I dragged it into the composition box 
The pen tool used to create paths and new mask to put the space footage over the screens























The option to place the mask behind or in front of the footage to put behind you click Subtract to appear in the front you click Add.
The mask when first applied will go in front of the footage so the mask had to be selected to subtract to place the mask behind the footage as placing that underneath the layer won’t have an effect on the mask.
This is how the text would appear in the footage timeline and can be shorted or edited when clicked on. 
  













The applying of text over the final product was done using the text tool in final cut they have options to adds different effects towards the text such as fades in or outs so this effect was applied to the text which was place over the certain pieces of the final product. This was done 7 times over different pieces of footage for each credit which needed to be included as this is stated within the brief.



How the text option look like when appearing into final cut pro they have a preview option alongside other transition or effects you could use in your product

Marketing and distribution of Stayed above. The marketing of Stayed above will include the opening sequence of the show as mentioned in the brief this will be displayed on adverts on the BBC 3 platform as trailers or short snippets or scene from the show saying Strayed Above coming soon. This will also be on other social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube this will entice the audience and will make them go onto the BBC 3 platform and search and watch the show.

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...
