Following the idea of electronics being disrupted by the ghost in my film, I have experimented with displaying this using After Effects to alter the video in brief amounts. The distortion is inspired a lot by signal distortion in which the screen bends and pixelates. It was created using a series of layers built up on top of the original footage, as is shown in the video above. Such layers included bending the footage, utilising a mosaic tool, flickering the opacity, duplicating and and tiling the footage.
This is definitely an element I will be taking forwards into my final video, it has got a lot of potential for noting the presence and increasing proximity of the ghost. It also has the potential for providing minor jump scares if used appropriately too.
