From my deconstruction task on editing effects used in "Paranormal Activity", I tried out some of the techniques. Below I have demonstrated how I achieved the CCTV look and the "black eyes".
I firstly imported the video into Final Cut Pro. I then used the "blade" tool by selecting 'b' (on the keypad) and cropped the video until I had the image I needed. To apply the CCTV look, I selected "midtones" and applied a green filter.
By changing the "amount", I could decrease the weight of the effect.
To try out the "black eyes" effect, I used Adobe Photoshop Editor. I first selected an image to use.
I then selected the brush tool to cover both eyes in a solid, black shade.
After covering both eyes, I changed the colour of the brush tool into white. I then applied the white shade in the centre of each eye to achieve the possessive look.

Evaluation:
- Overall, my task went well. The CCTV effect can easily by applied by using Final Cut Pro. However, in my group's final footage, we may just use "bad tv", as this is more realistic.
- The "black eyes" effect can be applied well by using Photoshop. The effect is inredibly effective in conforming a possessive character.
