EXPERIMENTAL FILM - EDITING PROCESS II


After getting all of our rushes and audio sorted and exported we opened After Effects ready to glitch. As myself and Danielle are quite new to After Effects we watched a couple of tutorials on how to achieve a glitch effect that we liked. We found a video that we liked the glitches of and it showed us how to do lots of different glitches so we set about following the tutorial. The tutorial involved us creating and using lots of different effects such as:

1. CC Griddler
2. Mask layers
3. Hue
4. Saturation
5. Curves
6. Fractal noise

These were some of the effects we used. This far we have 11 layers but we want to create a few more effects so we estimate to have between 15-20 layers in the composite. involved in this tutorial were some equations to distort certain values in some of the equations. In the picture below you can see us manipulating the values with equations that we wrote. This creates the effects that we want.


We also wanted to create different glitches across the film instead of the same one continuously, so we duplicated the layers with the glitch on, and experimented with the hue and saturation to create a red glitch. We really liked the look of this, but it was too extreme for the entire film, so we decided to place the read glitch over the archive footage and the title sequence. Below are some screenshots of the red glitch we created:

We are still in the process of creating the glitches and making sure they run smoothly. This was in no way an easy process and took a lot of time to create the glitches we wanted but I am proud of what we have done so far, and glad we have pushed ourselves to create what I hope will be a great film. 

I hope enjoy. Thank you.
