Production Company Creation



I used Adobe software After Effect to create this production company clip. I wanted to create a VHS effect

I recorded a persons eye using a + 4 close  up lens and opened it in the software as a new project


I applied the CC RepeTile effect which adds a shake to the video


I then duplicated the layer and set the mode to 'Colour'


I moved this 'Colour' mode layer to the left and up so it wasn't in line with the original clip to make a slight colour shadow


Then I added the 'Add Grain' effect to add noise/grain to the image to look like the white noise you get over VHS tapes


I then saved an image of black and white lines and imported them into the software and overlayed them onto the clip and set the layer to 11% opacity to ensure the background clip was visible 


I then imported a GIF of coloured interference to the clip and put it over the clip it twice at two different periods  


I downloaded a font from dafont.com which looks like an old VHS font


I typed the name 'VISION PRODUCTIONS' in the center of the clip frame in this font and made the font white


I duplicated the text layer several times and moved it in the frame slightly to create a flicker effect


Evaluation
  • The quality of the video is very high so it looks professional
  • The VHS effect is convincing
  • The clip is simple and not distracting
  • The font fits the clip
  • It was quite complicated to create however the final product was successful
  • It was quite short once edited
  • I could have improved the movement of the text
