Editing to near completion & Contrast between scenes

For the last week or so, the group have been coming up at lunchtime and during free periods to edit our Opening Title Sequence. We have been doing this either to sort out continued issues with synchronizing the wild-track (added sounds) to the video or to build on the feedback we had received from the focus group a few days ago. The feedback has helped us see the issues that we have overlooked. The main issue being that there is no clear distinction between Hyde and Jekyll beyond costume. We knew this would be rather difficult as we are using one actor and we haven't seen Hyde's face so it just looks like he is wearing a hat. W are currently experimenting with zoom blur and bump distortion to show that although it may be the same physical being, he has clearly undergone some mental transformation. We have also added black and white filters to all of Hyde's scenes. The plan was to make the whole film black and white but it seems a good idea and adds contrast to areas it was previously lacking. This still meant that the Jekyll scenes looked like it was a modern film which we had hoped to avoid. We used inspiration from the neo-noir TV Drama Red Riding which uses a sepia filter to make it feel old. We have used this effect for the scenes starring Jekyll. This makes it seems warm and makes it feel a lot less sinister compared to the Hyde scenes
