Effect idea for film

Taken from the TV show The Vampire Diaries and the film Twilight I was influenced to try to create a similar super speed running effect that they use for our character of the creature because we want it to appear supernatural. 

When initially researching the running effect I found this video clip that demonstrates the effect that I am wanting to create a similar one to.

I used a clip from one of our previous videos to test whether my idea would work, using Final Cut Express I modified the clip to give a supernatural super speed effect to a person walking down the corridor.

I changed the speed of the clip to 800 percent to make the character look like they could move at a speed which humans cant.

I then added the overlay effect by clicking on composite mode which darkened the clip and slightly changed the colour. 

I duplicated the clip so that there was 3 of the same clips and I moved 2 of them slightly to the left which created a sort of ghost effect of the character.

When played the character appears to have super speed and have a shadow following them which gives the supernatural effect that we wanted.

This is my first attempt at creating the effect which we can develop and improve when editing the actual film.
