PROCESS OF ROUGH CUT

Effects used:

• Glitch - Symbolises the boy's dysfunctional mind.

 

By using keyframes and manipulating the position on every frame simply creates a glitch effect. To smoothen the glitch, I used the gaussian blur from the effects panel.

   

We decided to glitch to this scene because the sudden movement of the boy looking towards the camera hints the audience that there is someone else; the boy is not alone. Furthermore, we chose this composition of the wall blocking both sides of the frame, covering nearly half of the frame because it creates an idea of how the boy is trapped in his own 'imaginary' world. It also gives a sense of someone watching the boy from another room, this links to the fact that the boy is 'not' alone.

 

The use of focus in this scene was used to represent the boy's deep concentration for the toy and how he is extremely amused due to the fact that this is a rare object for him. The focus on the toy also absorbs the audience's attention.

The ending scene (bird's eye view) of the location emphasises the fact that he is all alone in a place that is much bigger than him. The curved edge suggests that he is enclosed from the outside world. This symbolises the separation between the real world and his own imaginary world. This scene also suggests that he is isolated from society and is neglected which is causing his mind to dysfunction.
