Here, we have downloaded all the clips of the filming day and erased the
unnecessary ones. Also, we have started to put them in sequence.

This is a shot of an example where we have used a transition. We used a cross fade
here because it gives an early insight as to where Darcy is heading, keeping the
audience on edge.
4. 21st Nov 2013
Here we used the effect of having two shots overlaying each other. We used
the headless teddy as one, and the stuffing on the floor for the other. We
chose these two shots because they both show the extent of damage Darcy
had done therefore compliment each other well.

Here we are editing the clip of the family pictures being ruined. Through doing this
we created low-key lighting in the clip to reflect on the hatred Darcy feels towards
them. Also, we used a higher proportion of blue to indicate the coldness Darcy feels
towards them too.

For the teddy bear scene, we used the “hard lighting” effect to make the
image appear sharper and more aggressive to imply Darcy’s angry
emotions. Also, we positioned a light in front of me (Darcy) to create more
shadows, therefore making me appear more sinister and scary looking.

After Darcy finds the note, the lighting goes from being very bright, to being
darker, sharper and more intense. We created the brightness by increasing the
exposure levels, and created the darkness and intensity by lowering the exposure
levels and using the “hard light” effect. This shot is an example of the “hard light”
effect, after Darcy finds the letter.
This very subtle change in lighting, reflects on how Darcy feels calm and relaxed at
the beginning of the opening sequence, however after finding the criticizing
letter, she snaps and the darker, unstable side of her is released.

However, although this is before Darcy finds the letter, we made it look
darker by using the “Vignette” effect. This blacked out the sides of the
image.
We used this effect here, to foreshadow that her darker side is soon to
come. Also, it fits in well with the mise en scene, because, here I (Darcy) am
pulling a very concentrated facial expression, reflecting on my obsessive
behavior, also foreshadowing the darker side too.

Similarly as the previous slide, although this clip is after Darcy finds the letter,
we have used high-key lighting by using an effect called “glow”, and my facial
expression is very happy and smiley. We have done this to show how
emotionally unstable Darcy is, because one minute she is devastated about
the letter and the next she is beaming about it.
10. 5th Dec 2013
This is an example of where we have used high-key lighting before Darcy (me)
finds the letter. This is also the clip which introduces Darcy to the viewer. I think
that me appearing from around the corner foreshadows that I am a mysterious
and shadowy character.
