Manipulating Time

Summarize the three techniques that she taught in this lesson. What is a way you could use each of these individual techniques going forward with your video's that you create?

Slow Down: The slowing down technique allows the audience to see the motion slowly, lengthening the duration of the clip. This can be used to emphasize a fast action of the clip in a more dramatic way. These will be most effective in dramatic jumps to appear as if the character is floating in the air for a longer span of time. This can also be used for hair blowing in the wind effect because it creates a dream-like atmosphere.

Speed Up: The speed up tool shrinks the duration of the clip. These are commonly seen in time lapses to show the flow of time within a couple seconds. Action scenes can be sped up slightly to appear as though the actor is moving faster than they actually were.

Reverse: The reverse tool rewinds the specific segment. This effect can create a magical effect because these reverse segments often display an action that cannot be done in real life. Using the reverse with the speed up tool may be able to create the effect of going back in time if used correctly.
