Final Cut Pro has a collection of creative video effects that enable you to mimic the view through a variety of lenses. For example you can create a photographer’s viewpoint as they look through the viewfinder of an analogue SLR camera. You can use keyframes to make the camera’s aperture open and close as it ‘captures’ a photo. We’ll show you how to animate the adjustment of the lens’s focus. You can also use effects to portray the views through other devices such as night vision scopes or CCTV feeds, which is an effective and creative way to enhance your drama projects.
