VIABILITY For Visual and Special Effects

In this post that I have created in Final Cut Pro, I have discussed the viability for are future production video. Before filming we need to ask permission to film at the location where we will begin thinking about are health and safety considerations for both the cast and crew which I have spoken about in the video on how we want to enable filming our Short TV scenes without any harm or dangerous encounters.
I have also mentioned about any risks that could possibly happen and spoke about the skills required and cost for special and visual effects.





Feasibility: 
The special effect of the rubber weapon stick will be feasible for us as we can easily buy it online or at a costume store. Secondly, the product is cheap and safe to use which will be really useful to use against our actress to display the stunt of her being hit. In addition, it fits the purpose very well and is an appropriate prop to use to illustrate our special effects. For our hallucination, this will be created whilst we are editing, therefore will not cost anything other than using the software Final Cut Pro which is already downloaded and our group has used it several times. 

Aesthetics:
The rubber weapon looks like a wooden stick but is coated over to look like something it is not. This is exciting to use as as it will create tension for the audience watching thinking the character will be hit for real. What they are unaware of it she will not actually be getting hurt at all because the prop is made from rubber. This prop creates an uneasy mood as the audience watch the antagonist holding it and following the protagonist who is a young innocent person. The aesthetics of the weapon is viable as it is not realistic in production but is according to the audiences vision. The hallucinations aesthetics will portray a ghost, double effect to convey the unfocused feeling she is physically going through. By using the opacity tool in Final Cut Pro, this creates viability for our production to illustrate her hallucinations around her. 

Fitness For Purpose:
The makeup we will use at the beginning of the short film fits the purpose of displaying how young and vulnerable our actress is as she applies it on. It also represents the fact she is getting ready for a party and makes it clear to the audience what is happening straight away and who is unlikable. The purpose of the fake weapon is to illustrate tensions for the protagonist about to be seriously hurt. It makes them weary of the situation they are witnessing and the purpose is to show the antagonist wants to hurt Amina. For visual effects, using the opacity tool and spinning the camera round, shows that Amina is affected by the drug she was forced to take by the antagonist. Therefore, we used the location God's Own Junkyard to portray these effects as the sign lights make her surroundings look heightened and unfocused. This represents the drugs side effects.
