The Idea Itself

The Video will start with a black frame and there will be a recording effect. After a Few seconds the actor will enter in shot and this is followed by a Medium shot of the Actor’s hands. After that, an Extreme close up will be filmed and as soon as the actor opens his eyes the shot changes to a close up of his face but he has orange eyes. This will be achieved by using motion tracking to track both eyes and change the colour to orange. The eyes of the actor will remain orange so in every shot after this motion tracking has to be used to change the colour. The Visual Effects start from Shot 12, this is when the actor will start to shoot. In shot 13 the actor will shoot his futuristic gun and to get the effect shockwaves will be used followed by some colour grading to change the colour of the blow. Also glow effects will be added and turbulent displacement as well.  Shot 13, 15 and 16 will have the same effects but with different shockwave and colour. The video will end with the Text ‘Shockwave Gunshot’ graphically displayed.
