Technique idea

ollie here

Whilst in class the other day me and chris were discussing different techniques available to us in final cut express. we used some of our time to learn how to pull off some key techniques on the editing programe such key frames and how to slow down specific times in the scenes. One idea we had was to use a "mirror Clone" technique as outlined in the diagram below

the basic premis of this idea is to take two separate shots of chris walking into the room (my living room) from the angle depicted in the image. the first shot will have him standing infront of the mirror looking sad or upset. the second shot will have him walking into the room and then leaving. we will then split screen the clip but take half of each shot so that it looks like a single shot and no-one will be able to tell that a split-screen in occurring. this will give the effect that chris is leaving his reflection behind when he leaves the room. giving connotations of a deeper meaning behind the shot.

thats all for now, but this is good progress.
