Overlaying
Using the toggle button we can overlay footage so both play at once, creating a unique effect. The toggle bar allows us to control the intensity of each shot. The image above shows a close up of our main actor Will's face, overlayed with a shot of the vivid green lights under Hackney Road railway bridge. We thought this created a visually pleasing shot, as well as adding to the disorientating nature of the video and reflecting Will's distorted state of mind.
The overlay above conveys the sorrow of our main actor, Will, and overlaying footage of the couple with this shot conveys how he is remembering the girl he lost.
The overlay above allowed us to create the appearance of the main actor being in several places at once, implying more time is passing in a short piece of film. The overlay below emphasises the people surrounding our main actor and how everything is passing him by unnoticed, also highlighting his loneliness.
Cross Dissolves
A transition on Final Cut Express which allows a softer move between shots than a cut does. It also looks visually interesting as the lights and colours contrast when crossing over.
