Invisibility cloak

Our fist Invisibility idea was to use the mask. The invisibility item could be represented as the 'The Helper' in Prop's theory the item/person which is always at the heroes side to help them conquer their quest. This small scene was created using faded into 3 separate shots all shot in the same place but with different mis en scene to make the invisibility scene work. This shot however is slightly too long.

We have however decided that we don't like the how tatty this looks so we wanted to change 'The helper' we have changed our helper to the cloak. This idea came from researching invisibility items and J.K.Rowling and English novelist who's books have become best seller and also turned into award winning films includes an invisibility cloak which we both thought would be something interesting to tackle and will be a task and a great success if we manage to achieve the out come at a professional level.

This cloak video is a test shot of what we hope to achieve. Mel has created this on After Effects by taking shots of the same scene but with a different things missing such as the main character. We can then overlap the two shots and create a mask which moves in time with the cloak to reveal the second video underneath which is the shot without the character in it there fore creating the invisible effect. I'm really pleased with how this looks, much more professional than the mask and the fade effects. I'm also really proud how we managed to create such a high level piece of editing.
