In a practical task in which the whole class to part in there own individual film, Dan, Dave and I all decided on our task. We would be trying an effect dave had found in a previous film we watched (Down on my blog). Getting the actuall time lapse was easy as all we had to do was leave the camera recording the sky for an hour or so and speed up the playtime on Serif to give the sped up time lapse effect. To get the real time part was also easy to capture, but a lot harder to edit. We just recorded dave for a few minutes. Dan used a composition technique of using the natural line of the wall in the shot to use as a cropping point, so I could set the sped up clip as a video track, and put the real time clip as an over lay track and crop it at the point of the wall; therefore giving the effect of a timelapse background and a real time foreground. This was over third attempt of this and finalised.
This effect looks very professional and different. It gives the impression of time flying by, with a surreal feeling.
