Comic books are a particularly good source of ideas. These are storyboards we drew for Mutzmag . Simple special effects can save money and add drama to movie projects. Try out a glass shot with your students. Use paints or existing photographs to create the image you want.
Magazines are particularly good sources for crisp photos.
You will need a piece of clear glass about 20 X 16 inches. Affix your image to the glass using rubber cement. It would be a good idea to ask some students with access to a workshop to build a wooden mount for the glass and a way to hang it from a stand or put it on a tripod. Place the glass at an angle instead of directly in front of the camera. Black cloth can be used to shield he glass from glare and prevent unwanted reflections.
