Using the effect of making someone small with a green screen, I created a short video. Unlike my other shorter videos, this one is slightly longer and follows a narrative.  If were to improve this video, I would have used a larger variety of cinematography techniques. I would also include more special effects and maybe some dialogue.

Examples of Effect In use My Video Here is my video that I created using this effect.I did it using multiple different videos and a green screen.  If I were to do this again I would make sure that I use a better quality background photo. I could also use videos of different people. 

First Idea- The Effects of Anxiety One idea that I have is to create a short film on anxiety, and how it effects different people. One way I could do this could be through the eyes of someone with anxiety and how it prevents them from doing daily tasks.  I could also do this through having a physical creature or person that symbolises someone's anxiety.  I could go about this by interviewing people anxiety, and how it effects their everyday life.  I watched a few of videos to get some inspiration for a short film on anxiety.  What Having Anxiety Feels Like This was a video including the narration of a sufferer from anxiety.

This way the abnormally large size  could be made clear through juxtaposition. I could have also lined up the edges of the box with the edges of the stage more accurately. Perhaps I could even change the colour and add other effects. 

Looking at the Different Special Effects Videos I Watched:                                     'Day 6666'-     This was a short film that used animation, slow motion and overlaying different videos.                                                               'How to get the CINEMATIC LOOK in Premiere Pro'-   This video showed how you can intensify and manipulate the colour in a video. It also showed how to change a video to slow motion and how to crop videos. All these techniques can be used to give the video an overall cinematic look.                                '5 FAST & EASY CREATIVE EFFECTS in Premiere Pro' - It ...
