Getting the correct camera angle for the "Flashing Effect"

As shown above is the camera angle used in the position we set up to get the flashing effect without using editing software. This method is easier and in our opinion more effective as it gives a better, more natural flash when it works correctly as shown in the video shown in the previous post.

Shown here is a print screen from the video we posted where the flash has worked well. Notice how the flash comes through the character and due to this, the gleam therefore surrounds the character and creates a great visual image for an audience.

Flashing Effect

Here is a video of us getting the Flashing Effect using a light box and placing it behind the boxing character. The effect worked well and we were very pleased with the outcome. The silhouette of the character creates an interesting appearance and looks great when incorporating the theme of the video and song too.

How we got the "Flashing Effect"

We followed the instructions from the video and managed to create the Flashing Effect to good use. As shown in the screen print above, it creates a great effect as if pictures are being taken. In our main video this will add a greater range of use of editing and will suit the boxing theme.

For the ending of our video when the character changes from being in the gym to transferring to a boxing arena, we wanted to add a special effect which would look like pictures were being taken for dramatic effect. To get this effect we searched Youtube for videos to hopefully give us an indication to how to achieve this effect for our video. Thankfully we came across this video which showed us how to get the flashing effect step by step. We shall create a video step by step showing you how our attempt went, whether it was successful or not and whether or not the flashing effect goes well with our video.
