Psychedelic camera effects


Fractal Noise

For My end product, id like it to have a phsycadelic feel in some parts of the story. My idea is to have some performance based shots of the artist and a story line running alongside it of a mans all to real hallucination. To create a sort of pulsating wave effect over the film i will use a technique called fractal noise.
Here is an example

The software i will be using is Adobe After Effects, it is a program designed specifically for adding effects to footage after it has been edited, and so i am going to try and exploit some of these features, its going to be a challenge because ive only used the program once to edit a video. Therefore i will be using YouTube tutorial videos to learn how to do it.
Effects that i have previously used to get a phsycadelic effect are colour enhancements - I play around with the colour, contrast, hue and saturation effects till i looks something like this


Swirling vortex effect, when the outer edges or the entire picture is swirling fast like a vortex, this creates a very phsycadellic effect which distorts the audiences perception, i will be using this effect again.
This is a still i made in photoshop

So, this is a test video that i made, unfortunately its not the best filming, because it was my dad filming, but it illustrates my point of the type of effects im going to use. It was filmed on my mobile phone, and was edited on Adobe After effects, so the quality is  also not that good.
