3rd Scenes: Westminster, London Again with this I just realized I didn’t burn the folder with the traffic, so using the footage you have on dvd London scene please do the best you can.

• Outside of box, she walks out
• Back view of her walking away CUT
• Side view Cut
• Her face Cut
• Her view Cut
• Back view, she walks away into the dark until she disappears To end this there is some footage of her walking away at the end of dvd marked bedroom scene you might want to use it
Music starts slowly fading, phone starts ringing all of a sudden then move to next scene
4th Scene: Her Bedroom For this scene use the footage available in the dvd, there might not be exactly what it says on the storyline but the point is she wakes up with the call, you see her get up, step out of the dress and walk away, after dress is seen on the floor, and that’s when you add the electric effect, if possible)
Phone is ringing
• Close up of eyes peacefully sleeping, SUDDENLY OPEN , CUT
• Medium frame she moves to pick up phone ringing next to her Cut (there is also a close up of the phone)
• Close up of her face, she says Hello CUT
• Split Screen all scenes at Once. CUT (could we have the screen divided in like 12, scenes can be repeated or you can just use various different footage from all the dvds, perhaps ones you didn’t use before, this just on just for a few seconds then cut suddenly as if its been plugged off.?

The end: Please add credits at the end, Models Solange Fernandes, Jessica Martinho, Styling and production Fathema Begum and Vanessa Fernandes




We edited the first part of the film which took us quite a long time to play with it until we got what we wanted. As soon as we finished filming our last scenes, we started to edit the other half. We transferred the files into quick time by using the stream clip mpeg.
When we tried to edit the some of the bedroom scenes,most of the files was corrupted and didn't open up. This is why at the end of our film the zoom and the fade into the next scene looked like amateur camera work I believe. Also in our London scenes the reason why we wanted the night vision look is because it gave that night time/slow motion effect which we thought looked good in our film.
One of the other reason why couldn't have the scene where our model takes off her dress and then there's a close up shot of it with electric effect to show the viewers that it was the dress that she was traveling with in her dream is because of the files that got corrupted and we couldn't use it.
This was really bad because showing that part was the whole idea as symbol of the time machine(The Dress).
In the end we added on the fuzziness of a TV screen effect to finish off the film and then we added on the credits.
Also the track we used for our film was 'Home' by the Foo Fighters. The reason why we choose to put this track is because it has this relaxing and smoothing feel to it. The lyrics reflects on our film because at the end the model is actually dreaming and is at home. The song itself is slow and we thought it worked well from the other choices we had i.e I look you by Whitney Houston.
