Editing...

Unfortunately, the shot of Phoebe waking up suddenly had disappeared when we went back to finish the editing today. we think it might have been deleted by mistake, but whatever happened, the absence of it compromises the storyline of our piece. The whole idea even from the beginning was that it was going to be a dream, and without this shot it isnt obvious that the first part is a dream - we experimented with putting a scream at the end, but found that darkness was more effective so we stuck with it.
To do the editing of the writing of the mirror, we had to film each letter as a seperate shot, and then speed them up. We loved the effect this created as it reminded us of an old silent movie typed thing. Other shots that relied on editing were the Russian dolls and the shots being poured.
During the second part of the opening where everything is repeated faster, we increased the speed by 1500%, and put the shots into reverse speed, which was also a good effect as it helped to build the tension, and do a quick recap of previous shots.
