Process

After taking the video, we started to clip it, and creating the futristic interface layer.

This was made in photoshop, very simply add in the text and the shape, then save it as a PNG file. We create a few of these with different time on the layer, so that the viewer can see the time and to make sure they won’t miss their first class at LCC.

The video was cliped in Pr.

Here we come with the issue that we faced. We were hoping to add the interface layer onto the screen of the camera so it can move with the viewer. This was the first issuse, when I go into 3D edit, the output mode automatically turns into this format, I was struggling with this for so long and when I’m just about to giveup on this, I found a button and it changed the video back to normal but the layer is still like this.

This is how it looks like in After effect in the 3D edit mode, but the output video’s filter doesn’t look right, and it did come out wrong.

However, we decide to use this even it’s not the same as what we were expecting, but the layer is at the top and bottom of the camera is kind of linked to the futuristic idea, for example, a year ago, it could be an alart to tell people to keep distance, to keep everyone safe.

Research and Ideas

This is an image from a film called Ender’s Games. This film was set in the future, and a boy that has an unusual gift was sent to an advanced military academy to prepare for a war with the aliens. In the film, they have the futuristic facilities to practice again and again, and they have the futuristic interface screen at where they control the warships.

We were originally thinking about making the narrative more complex so that the short film is attractive, but in the end, we didn’t have enough time to do that therefore we decide to make it simple, to just simply take the viewer around the school.
