Review of final changes

Throughout the development and production of the film opening, we encountered some issues which made our group change certain things about our project, that stands the same for the post production aspect of the film opening.

When editing, our editor Eugenia had to arrange footage appropriately to match the storyline which was developed. Some footage had to be changed, rearranged, and some eventually was deliberately deleted.

There was sufficient footage for the two minutes allowed, so I personally suggested that certain takes of the screwdrivers and other parts of the garage scene should be edited out to make way for other shots specifically after the title of the film. We reached an agreement where the screwdriver part was important but could be cut by a few seconds and shorten some other scenes to make way for footage which gave pacing to the film, such as the shot of Elliot walking out of bed or the room.

Overall, the changes done are reflective of stylistic choices in the way it helps the film tell the story developed.
