How do I get a shake effect?

When my player is destroyed in my game, the layout switches to another layout: gameover. I would like to slow down the speed of transition between the two layouts and add in a shake effect when my player is destroyed. However, whenever I have attempted to make the screen shake (by adding the shake effect to my player that has a scroll to behaviour) it does not work. Could someone tell me which events I need? Thanks.

for shake effect to work it needs space to be able to shake. so if your layout is the same size as your viewport it wont shake. same if the viewport is in the corner of the layout. unless you activate unbounded scrolling

Maybe zoom in a bit to make room for shake, then back out, when done.
