EVALUATION - Limitations To Our Production Work

Due to the limited resources we can only use the effects available on the editing programme we are using (Adobe Premier Emelent 7). We have the aspiration to put editing transitions between each of our clips. Between the clips of our female character Megan rushing around her house packing her bag, we want there to be fade to black transitions. This will show the audience that she is in danger, and when it fades to black, there is a tension created from what the audience cannot see. The darkness portrays the seriousness of the action occuring.

For the flashback clips of the 'happy times', we want to make the colour of the scenes brighter to make a clear contrast between the past 'good' and the present 'bad' times. When changing from the present scenes to these past scenes, we want a flash to white, to show the moving into the innocent period of the film. However, due to the technology available we have had to use a fade to black editing transition then straight after a dip to white. We made our fade to black very short in order to focus on the dip into white. This has recreated this feeling, of moving from the happy past to the sinister present, and we hope that it is just as effective to the audience.
