Second edit for our film opening

We then after filming on Sunday, uploaded our stuff in our free period and were eager to edit it into our film so it would make sense. We then added in all of the shots of Billy winding up the music box and getting out of the car and walking off. With these shots we put the exposure up, so all the shots of him were grainy which gives the audience an effect, due to the mise en scene that he is "trouble" and this is shown through the grainy effect. In contrast to this we added all the shots of Elle dancing and put them in the effect "Dream". We used this effect as it brightened it up and also due to the mise en scene, it shows that Elle is happiest dancing. This happiness then contrasts at the exact moment she walks out the door. This could show that at the exact moment she walks out the door she's being watched.

We also edited the shots together with some cross blur/zoom transitions which gave the effect of time passing. I think that this makes it look better as you don't have the bore of watching her travel everywhere. We also realised that on imovie you can record sounds. We therefore put the music box up to the computer screen and recorded its melody. We used this over the top of the shot of the music box in the film. However, when the shot of Elle spinning was shown we played the music backwards, which in itself sounded scary, but we thought that this gave an extra effect that she's different and to distort the audience into thinking something is going to happen to them.
