- After technically deconstructing the opening sequence of The Butterfly Effect I found that it was nothing like what Becki and I have discussed. In the opening 2 minutes it had 10 shots and was continuity edited whereas what we have planned for our opening is a dream using montage editing.
- Most of the shots were MS or MLS however, in the first 2 minutes nearing the end of the sequence an ECU is shown highlighting the words 'save her'. This ECU is commonly used in thrillers as it emphasises and dramatises particular points of interest to the audience. By highlighting the words 'save her', it connotes a sense of foreboding.
- As a result of this, I am currently still researching psychological thrillers and I will repeat this process with a film that has a similar opening to that of our idea.
