Lens Flare

l am workin on a lens flare, l have put it into the scene where Jesse is at the canal. l have tried it with the different lens settings 50 - 300 mm zoom. with this setting it meant that l had to keep the flare brightness low as it was possible to see the fading light being chopped off at the edge of its boundary. Maybe to overcome this l could go into its settings and just make it bigger. l also tried it at 35mm prime this was ok but l felt that both of them looked too much like a lens flare, which would or could imply that the light is reflecting off something whereas l just want it to be something supernatural. l think l have been able to achieve this by using the 105mm prime setting. l also centralised the beam in order to eliminate the flare qualitites. So it looks more like a bright light almost resembling a fire fly.....a big firefly. But on reexamining the screen shots l think l like the 35mm prime one as the little glow around it adds to it.

l wanted to get more of a three demensional property to it so it could fly around Jesse, for this l think l would need a transparent background to put the flare on. When l put it on a moveie it looked great but the movie didn't, l am happy with the way it is now but l will check with Annette to see if it is something to do with my settings why the quality of the movie looks bad.

105mm prime


l am going to leave this for now and have a go at smoothing out my camera movements, adding torches to the outside of Athaleahs door and sorting out the door movements.

Naaaa! l just went to save my work and l think l am going to stick with 105mm prime. l think it looks alright:-)
