One of the first 'tricky' shots we use in our first 2 minutes for our film is a handheld shot which shows the camera entering moorecliffe. Using Final Cut, we then duplicated the video track, reversed it and made it overlay the existing video track.
This caused the final stages of the shot to appear as the opening stages of the shot was playing and vice versa - causing a 'dejavu' effect which emphasises the strange, surreal nature to the beginning of the film.
Another tricky shot we used was a 'ghost' effect that showed the group of teenagers walking to moorecliffe before disappearing and reappearing. To do this, we used 2 video tracks - the teenagers walking to the orphanage and a replica of the previous shot without the teenagers. We cut out parts of the track where the teenagers are walking, replacing it with the track without the teenagers. This then showed the teenagers disappearing. By adding a cross fade between the two tracks, it shows them fading away like ghosts.
