The smoke appearing from wounds in Ryan vs. Dorkman is actual smoke composited into the shot using After Effects. I first filmed myself burning insence in front of a large black sheet shrouded in shadow, with the smoke backlit by a bright light to make sure it "pops out" from the blackness behind it. I then could take those smoke footage layers and composite them into the shots by simply darkening them a little and setting the layers to Screen mode in After Effects.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
