Super 8 effect

We want to give our videos that antique look, so as Mr Tierney suggested we have looked into this effect that is the super 8 effect. On final cut pro they have their own version of this effect. I tested this out on a test clip from our preliminary, I do like the effect it creates-
There are also other techniques which we could use that could emphasise this antique feel. I particularly like this because it is used in My Sister's Keeper's opening -


I think this is effective as it gives an idea of memories - which I believe is a good way to go with our monologue because it keeps a personal feel to the overall movie.
Super 8 originated in 1965, also known as Super 8 mm film, by Eastman Kodak as an improvement on the previous type of film. It has been largely replaced now as a filming format but is often used to imitate the look of old home movies or create a stylish look - we are trying to create this look of old home movies, therefore i think this technique could be very useful to us.



The above video shows an example of super 8 in use. I think this clip is really well done and I like the focus of detail on small things such as the small droplets of water. I would like to imitate some of the effects carried out in this clip in some of what we do.
