Time limit

So we've put all our footage together but it's too short! It's only a minute and a half which is strange because we've done so much filming and re-filming. We tried to add one or two more seconds on to each of the dead floor shots but that can only boost up the time by so much and by the time we'd done this to all of them, it had only increased by five seconds.

We were going to do a graphic match from a clock or watch face to our main character's eye but we didn't think it fitted and we filmed it at a wrong angle so the continuity would be disrupted and the transition wouldn't be believable to the audience.

After uploading this onto the macs, we decided that we could use it at the beginning because it's blurry but is pulled into focus and pulled out of focus so it creates mystery and confusion to the audience as to what's going on. We also decied to use it at the end to convey that it goes back to the beginning; the character and the audience have to find out who killed him and why, just like in Memento which was our biggest influence.

As we had put these eye shots at both the beginning and end, it made the whole thing longer by twelve seconds but still we need more in able for it to be two minutes!
