Finished Movie

How i made the movie

I managed to get some footage from when Simon went airsofting one time, and i turned it into a real-life army footage, as if they were protecting the villages. The stills i managed to get some late night of Tesco, a well known busy place, where ht was empty, and some early morning shots of other busy locations. This made the effect global, and the desertion and stillness of the shots contrasted strongly with the fast paced images of the army before them. On some of the stills, i put a text effect over the top, and black and white filter to make it seem as if it was CCTV footage. I also put a scrambled effect over some of them to make them seem as if they are not working, linking with that theme of the civilisation collapsing.
The movie as a whole went well, although the content was not that great, and i didn't have much to work with, but i think it got the point across. I was establishing the narrative more than what was actually on screen, pictures of empty villages. I made them seem as if everyone had deserted them.
I used ALOT of transitions on the sound and on the video, most of which were fades, to represent the passage of time in-between them. These were also very effective for keeping the action rolling, as once one scene had finished, another was still fading in.
The font was made to look like it was eroded, and i had taken the idea given to me by the Dawn of the Dead opening, where the red font was being blown away somehow. I made my font look as if it was distorted or broken, and seeming quite aggressive, attacking the screen.
