Editing Spotlight - Stabalising the Bus Scene

This was one of the scenes that didn't make the final cut, it involved the PCI Character walking pas t a bus depot whilst the voice over explains why he is there, in search of the murder weapon on the backseat of one of the buses. For this scene we wanted the shot to follow alongside the characters as he walked past the depot. If we had the budget we would have used a track to make the shot extremely smooth and professional, however, this was not the case. In this case we had to hold the camera and walk alongside him this meant the shot was sort of steady yet could have been better, therefore during the editing stage we had to use a tool to finish the effect.



How it was made?

First off, we filmed the actual shot by placing the camera on the tripod and then holding the tripod vertical by the handling whist walking alongside the character, this helped us to reduce the side to side movement of the camera massively that we would have got if we just used the camera. The final effect we used was in the editing stage and involved using a tool called 'Warp Stabalise' In Adobe After Effects to further stabilise the shot.
