Editing post

We each helped each other out in editing, to make our opening scene as creative and gripping to the audience as possible. 
Here, place the stop motion editing into the narrative of our filming, and edited the saturation, contrast and exposure levels, so that it went seamlessly with the rest of the footage. 

Here, we thought it would be creative to add a slight twist to Anna, our actress, when she moves her hand. By speeding up and slowing down the film very quickly, and then reversing the footage straight after she moves her hand once, it creates a cool effect and makes the opening interesting. 

Here, we decided to insert a flash of Anna's face, for not even a second's duration, just to break up some of the other shots, and give the first inkling to something not being quite right about the situation unfolding in this opening scene. 

We decided that for the flashbacks we wanted to used the cross over transition, as it would help portray the happy scene which had once occurred  and also show that there was a link between the two scenes. 

By flashing back to the death scene, we decided that in order for the viewer to properly understand what was going on, and make a big impact on screen, we would slow the footage down a lot, so that you see the death almost as if your life was flashing before your eyes, much like it could have been for Elizabeth, Anna's character in this scene.
