Effects Explanation and Contingency Plans

-       Explosions (This digital effect is achieved by downloading green screen explosion clips and integrating them into our footage). If the regular green screen source fails our contingency plan will be to download similar videos from a separate source online.

-       Building collapses (This digital effect is achieved by downloading green screen clips and integrating them into our footage). If the regular green screen source fails our contingency plan will be to download similar videos from a separate source online.

-       Meteor collision (This digital effect is achieved by downloading green screen meteor clips and integrating them into our footage). If the regular green screen source fails our contingency plan will be to download similar videos from a separate source online.

-       News report (This effect is created through filming one of the actors in front of a green screen and integrating them into the prop of a television set). If the effect fails, our contingency plan will be to simply air the audio of the recorded green screen clip through a radio instead.

-       Make-up/prosthetics (This practical effect is achieved by applying dust and dirt to the actors face therefore making them look more dishevelled in the scenes that require it). If the effect fails, we will work without the chosen look and proceed with the filming.

To give the effect of the car being crushed, we had the green screen flat on two tables. There was a gap between the tables covered by the weighted down green screen to hold the car up over the gap. We then removed some of the weight. At this point the car fell through the gap giving the illusion that the car has been crushed into the ground.

Electrical equipment must be compatible with local mains electricity supply systems, and must avoid risks such as overload, fire or explosion. Battery performance may vary with extremes of temperature. Particular care should be taken when working in domestic premises, outdoors or on derelict sites. Make sure that all equipment is inspected and tested regularly by the supplier(s) – equipment used on temporary installations is likely to suffer heavy wear and tear. Plugs and connectors used on location should be rugged and built for protection against the weather. Emergency lighting must be supplied from its own independent power source so that a fault in one system cannot jeopardise the other.

Always plan for the amount and type of power required. Generators must provide the right power, voltage, and switching ability. Where multiple phase supply is used, keep cables and appliances on each leg far enough away from each other to avoid the possibility of someone receiving a double electric shock across different phases. All conductors and equipment, as well as cables, must be properly insulated and adequately earthed. Circuit breakers, such as residual currentdevices (RCDs), must be used, but not as a substitute for funda- mental safety measures (eg, earthing/insulation).
Cables must be safely routed or covered to prevent trips or falls and to protect the integrity and insulation. Keep cable runs as short as possible. Never overheat cables by running them close to heat sources or by running power through them while coiled or tied up. Ensure all equipment is inspected and tested regularly by supplier(s) and before use – especially equipment used on temporary installations, which is likely to suffer heavy wear and tear. Plugs and connectors used on location should be rugged and built for protection against the weather. Emergency lighting must have its own independent power source so that a fault in one system cannot jeopardise the other.
