The footage had somehow got lost from the video drive ad so I unfortunately had to reload the filming from the memory card to the video drive. After I had done this I started cutting down some of the footage to make the opening shorter and this was also necessary because some of the scenes were too long, which dragged out the suspense for no reason. Also it was helpful for creating a sense of flashbacks.
I then began to experiment with different video filters on some of the scenes, at first I tried a blur on the scenes where Ivory is ripping up photos from her and Mercy's childhood, I thought this might make it clear to his audience that Mercy is dreaming this occurrence with it being blurry, however I thought that in case the audience thought we had not put our camera in focus when filming, rather than it being an effect used purposely, I would look for some other options just in case and see what the feedback after the rough cut said was the best. another option I looked at was black and white.
On the childhood scenes, I wanted to explore the video filters with changing the brightness to really bright in order to show that these scenes are flashbacks occurring in Mercy's dream. I think by making it brighter rather than using a black and white effect, this shows that we are not going back in the past, even though it is a flashback it is occurring in Mercy's dream which is in the present. Therefore it makes more sense to use bright lighting in my opinion.
