Final Film Opening

Prior to uploading the final version of our film opening, we watched through the clip numerous times to be sure of no errors in sound, footage and titles. Our opening for Dazed is based upon heavy contrasts and continuous sudden straight cuts to partially mirror the mind set of the leading character. A key example of such is at 1:07, the only use of black screen and ringing sound effect outside of the titles. The choice for such rapid cuts leading into a black screen containing titles not only mirrors the overwhelmed state of the protagonist but immediately builds suspense for the audience if the film was to continue to the length of a feature. Following our preview to the class and specifically Yasmin's feedback, we re recorded the voice over following the running sequence to avoid echoes or any other signs to suggest it was recorded inside. Instead, we recorded it a second time outside.
