Final film changes

For our film film edit the main aspect which we changed was to order of events in our sequence. We decided that the simple order of present to past and then present became a little boring due to the repetitiveness and simple. So to make the sequence more interesting and to keep the tension, confusion and mystery throughout we altered the order of events so that both the external and internal scenes are contrasted as the sequence changes from present to past time frames. Despite this making the order of events a little more confusing, this is the effect we wish to create for the audience, simulating questions which can only be satisfied by watching past the opening sequence. We have resolved this confusion by using the use of colour to indicate the time periods, with the red colouring in the present and the darker black and white/ sepia being the past events, effects like this can be commonly seen to indicate time differences in other films of a similar genre.

We included more footage from the darkroom in our second edit in order to disperse this between the external scenes in the park, This was mainly just focus on the room itself and not the characters to emphasis the importance of the act of developing the photo in our narrative. We also changed the way in which the sequence ended with the character falling to the floor with the use of a POV shot as we believed it built upon the tension of the scene and the desire to continue watching after the opening sequence. A POV also puts the audience in the position of the character to make them feel included in the scene and closer to the action occurring. 

A final change was the audio, keeping the soundtrack the same however adding some ambient sounds from the dark room, including the dripping tap which can be heard across the footage throughout the sequence. This is an eerie sound which connects both the past and present scenes with this continuity. Other ambient sounds include both the scratching and foot tapping from the protagonist.
