Editing notes

I wanted to play on the idea of ones conscience. Many films poetry ones conscience as an imaginary creature or inside voice telling one what to do. I liked this idea as I believe it ties in with the theme of regret which is particularly prominent in our film. I wanted to convey to the audience Eli's (Matt) regret at how he handled the situation. I chose to show this through more expressionistic techniques in the editing.

 For the first clip I wanted to edit I chose a second face of Eli to appear along side the original clip to suggest that second voice taking over. I used an opacity layer on the second video and set it to darkness to achieve the deeply contrasting effect.

For the second clip I decided to play with audio and insert a couple audio files from the previous scene to create an eery effect. I wanted this to, once again, symbolise his conscience and allow the audience to get inside the head of the character. I used an echo delay filter on the audio and increased the amount of reverb. 

Unfortunately I was not able to attach a video clip but the effect can be heard in the 3rd demo which will be uploaded soon.
