When editing this scene, we decided it was here that we wanted to i
ncourperate the editing technique from the opening sequence of suits. In the shot we have the little girl j
umping off the swing, and then we have the swing, swinging by its self. We
sped up the first section and then
slowed it down to half the speed. I found this looked very effective as it was as if it was in
the protagonists mind and she was watching the swing,
longing for her own child to be on it.
You have done well to secure permission to work with a child for your film. It makes your work realistic.The shots look good so far.
ReplyDeleteUse a capital letter for 'Suits' and explain that it is the US TV drama opening sequence to which you refer, where slomo and speeded-up footage create tension. You wanted to experiment with creating tension in a similar way.
