Creating the 'Police Lights' Effect

Attempt 1:
For our first attempt to create police lights we started by covering two torches with blue and red transparent plastic, however as we were filming at night the torches did not give off enough light to enable us to see the actor sufficiently.

Attempt 2:
For our second attempt we used car headlights and held the plastic sheets over them. To create the flashing effect of the sirens we moved the sheets quickly on and off of the headlights. This method worked better as the headlights acted as a key light in the scene. Overall this method was useful, however the blue and red did not show up very much so the colours will need to be enhanced on iMovie.
