Editing To Create Possession

In my groups final piece, we want to be able to convey possessive movement. From my research into supernatural horror films such as 'The Devil Inside', possessive movement tends to be quite sudden. Below I have shown a step by step process of how I edited part of our preliminary filming to show possession. I used Final Cut Pro.  

I firstly uploaded our preliminary footages to Final Cut Pro.

I then selected the clip I wanted to use and inserted it into the editing bar.

By right clicking on the footage, a tool bar appears. I clicked on 'Retime' to adjust the speed of my footage.


I then chose the option of 'fast 2x'. I selected '2x', as speeding the clip up too fast would look unrealistic.
Below is my edited footage.

 

I decided to apply some effects onto my footage. I used 'Bad TV'. This gave the clip a distorted type effect, something commonly seen in Supernatural Horror films. I ensured that the 'amount' was not too high, as this would make the footage unclear.

Evaluation:

• The task worked well, having applied these effects without major errors. My result of my sped up footage appeared to be quite typical of the supernatural genre, and therefore, can be used as a conventional tool.
• For visual effects, 'Bad TV' can be useful as this is also another conventional effect in supernatural horrors. However, I must ensure that I apply it correctly by firstly, balancing the 'amount' used. Secondly, the effect should be used in places appropriate i.e. the possession scenes.
