I honestly didn’t think that this film will come out when you guys actually preparing for exams, since i am in an arts college.. I have long erased any memories of exam fever…but what experience i had with boards will never leave me..Its like a rabid dog who wont let go of your butt after biting it.
The movie took very little time for visualization ( i know that’s a big word, today teacher taught us in class). Wrote the screenplay in about 10 minutes ,story boarding took 2 hours. But then i dint have a god damn camera (I still dont).
Then finally Siddharth was the Knight in shining Armour and offered to shoot the movie. After that everything went exactly according to plan..this has happened for the first time!
I enjoyed..or better LOVED editing this film because i had already planned everything in advance, there was absolutely no glitches or problems when i was editing it..Hope you guys watch it and give us your feedback, cause if you dont ,Google will help me find your address…

The approach is simple…WE will insert some text , duplicate it and then flip it over , then rotate it by 180 degrees. After which we have to add a layer mask and select the blend tool to create the reflection effect complete and realistic. We’ll also use the Gaussian Blur and Lighting Effect Filters to make it more realistic.
Tools Used :
TEXT (use a large font size with a clear and eye friendly colur)
Background and Foreground
Blend(foreground colour should be black , background colour should be white)
Filters Used:
Gaussian Blur (Filters>>Blur>>Gaussian Blur): Blur Radius =2
Lighting Effects(Filters>>Light And Shadow>>Lighting Effects): Customize to your needs
To mirror the duplicate layer you have made..
select the layer…go to the “layer” option on the top bar…select transform>>both the options (flip horizontally and rotate by 180 degrees can be found here)
Dialogs Required:
Layers(if this is not open by default go to “dialogs” option on the top bar and select Layers)
