Post Production Take Two

Unfortunately I hadn't been able to find any archive footage of what I wanted, so I was happy to leave things as it was. I did a bit of editing, just tweaking to make sure everything fit and flowed well, namely with the images of Luke over the ink.
The images were overlapped by an effect called Overlay which made putting the images together a lot easier

In general, while editing the piece you had to stay concentrated otherwise it could get confusing as there were a lot of slow motion/speed up and reversed shots.

After we had finished Luke was tinkering around with what the other effects did and found something called Difference, which inverted the colours and considering we were using a range of colours the effects were interesting. We then decided to invert our favourite clips at the end of the sequence which I believed would fit in with the theme of The Human Situation, the idea of realising that you are trapped in a world/life that you didn't want to end up in. The knowing causes an internal burning rage but there is still nothing you can do to change the life you are leading. You are trapped.

After that was done there was only the sound left to do, and as Luke knew what he wanted and had explained it to me (Two chord monotonic sound to resonate and flow with the sinking and lifting ink and complimenting the characters slow falling.) he went to a friends to create it that night, before putting it together with the sequence ready for the presentation tomorrow.
