DIY Special Effects: Paranormal Activity

In this blog assignment we were asked to find a tutorial on cool DIY special effects. I found this video on some of the effects of Paranormal Activity. Paranormal Activity is a horror movie about a couple. The woman caries a Demon that runs through the female side of her family.

They recreated these parts of the film with masking 2 clips to erase the objects that created the effects

Movie Parody Trailer

In this assignment, we were told to find a movie, and create a trailer that changes the genre and overall mood of the film to prove that music in films and television shows play a very important role in describing the mood. I choose to use "The Final Destination 3D", which is originally a horror/thriller, and then changed it into a comedy/parody. Kind of like the Scary Movie series. I did this by changing music to The Clash, and using clips that dont involve the scarier parts of the film. The digital copy of the movie I found conveniently had 6 different audio layers. Including the original audio from the microphones, over dubs, music, and then 3 layers of sound effects. This made it easy to then add separate audio in and still have the sounds from the actors without hearing the background music.
