We used a lot of fades within our film to express a movement of time and especially at the beginning which adds a lot of suspension and a build up of events that are going to lead to the finale. We used fades to introduce the production company and title of the film which fades into we also used a fade at the end when we zoom into the diary to express its possible importance.

We also included an over the shoulder shot so the viewers can clearly see the significant page in the diary that declares “Jennifer’s” love for “Jacob Miller. We also slowed down the clip so that the page would be a bit more clearer and it could be read properly. This shows that it’s a significant/key prop within the opening sequence as it allows an insight into the main characters mind and what they’re thinking and what may have caused them to end up in the psychiatrist’s office.

During the flashback scenes we changed the the filter of the particular scenes to make them look fuzzy and stand out from the other scenes. We put a sepia type of filter on the flashback scenes using the editing tools on Final Cut Pro

Cross Cutting was evident when we quickly cut from the flashback scenes back to the psychiatric analysis scenes (when the main character is mentally reacting to the music) to show what she’s going through or experiencing whilst the music is on, i.e. her flashback scenes. We also used sound bridges to seamlessly link the scenes together
