Bits of Editing Ideas

The reason why we have chosen our film opening to be in black and white is because it gives a very british art house feel to it. We are aiming our production not to be a big blockbuster but to be a low budget, like this...

Control..



Sin City.. Even though this is not a british social realist drama, is shows how black and white footage can be affected with a small splash of colour in either the forground or background.



Sommers Town Clip, this is a clip from shane medows most rectent film in 2008, it is filmed all in black and white untill the very end where the colour merges in and enphisises the climax of the film.



This is the beginning of our editing and we are still deciding how we can play around to make the black and white filter look affective. We are also deciding whether the whole film would be in black and white or just the opening, and debating whether to have colour shots appearing in the footage.
For example in the film memento, the black and white parts of the film is when the main character, Leonardo, is trying to remember where he is and how he got there. This can be related back to our sequence as the main character is trying to remember her very blurred and hectic night out the evening before. Later in memento it then goes back into focus and has colour making the black and white section very artistic and abstract.
