THE GUN SHOT EFFECT - AFTER EFFECTS
This is a before and after video showing a gunshot scene from our trailer.
Below is how I did it:
3. The muzzle flare looks a bit too large for the gun, but the scene is so fast it would be barely noticeable. To make the flare more realistic however I decided to add lighting to the gun flash.

4. I then duplicated my footage layer, applied a 'Screen' effect, and using the mask tool drew around the area where the light from the gun would affect.

This is a before and after of one of our chase scenes, where in which I applied a simple muzzle flare and used colour correction to make it seem as if it was a lot darker outside.
Colour corrrection
Using colour correction I applied a blue tint to our footage and edited it to make it seem as if it was evening time or darker than it really was.
