Blog: Create a 30-second sequence that uses at least three Premiere effects or that delves into the possibilities of AI Cinema using RunwayML and any other AI tools. Apply these effects to video either for story or for abstract experimentation. The point of this assignment is to play with techniques and see if certain effects can be used to generate ideas for a final project.
For this project, I focused on effects in Premiere Pro, using tools like digital glitch, curvature, and wave warp. These effects help express a character’s thoughts or emotions by distorting the visuals. For example, wave warp can mimic dizziness or nausea, while digital glitches suggest confusion or anxiety. This pulls the audience deeper into the character’s experience.
Unlike traditional cinema, which focuses on capturing reality, digital effects create a more subjective world. They allow filmmakers to represent what a character feels, not just what’s physically there. These techniques blur the line between reality and emotion, offering new ways to engage viewers by combining visual storytelling with personal perspective.
