Students VS Zombies - Analysis

This is my analysis of our Students VS Zombies story so far - what went well/is going well, and what didn't go as well/not going as well.


Script location-
Teleportation location: Back of school at the containers and the bathroom.

Shoot location-
Teleportation locations: Back of school at the containers and the C Block Corridor

What went wrong when shooting?
We found that when we were shooting we didn't have much time so we rushed it, meaning that it didn't turn out as accurate as we hoped. Because it was our first time shooting, we were taking a risk on whether the shots would turn out when they were put together - for example the positioning of Reece in the bathroom had to be changed from a close-up to a mid-shot so it looked better when he teleported and the smoke and where he landed was in the same place as where he disappeared from the previous shot by the containers.

What did you struggle with during using After Effects?
My main struggle was creating the special effects, in this case the smoke. It was very complicated but luckily there are loads of After Effects tutorials on YouTube that I watched and used to help me create the effect.
