Special Effects Decisions

To help highlight Megan’s illness, we used some special effects. I managed to find out a way of getting a ‘dizzy’ effect; this was by imposing images on top of one another. This creates a great effect to show her illness taking over her mind and body and to show her split personalities.

The slow motion effect while the characters are looking out to sea gives a very touching effect. This helps the audience to connect with the characters and feel their emotions.

A zoom was also used twice on our film. Once when Josh is in the boot of the car to give the effect of claustrophobia and the second is when Megan is on the bench with her friends either side throwing all different conclusions to her problem. This gives the audience the idea of Megan being ‘trapped’ between her decisions.
