The opening sequence is not too similar in the style to ours yet the film as a whole really captures the essence of drug taking and is a huge inspiration also the film. The opening intriduces you to the main characters, enigma's are building to what they're doing. It's more of a drama based film about drugs and is shot in a very unique style. It has a minilistic approach which i strongly like. The opening scenes are quite abstract and the shots are shown as an artistic representation rather than soley trying to tell a story. There's incredible sequences that show them 'shooting up' which is repeated several times through out the film. I think the shooting style is very alternative and quite experiment and it's something that we followed to a certain degree. If we were to produce more filming rather than an opening we'll trying experiement more and create sequences and camera movements that will make a reall impression on audiences. This is one way to really push for the word of mouth distribution.

Editing

We've refined the editing and we're very close to finishing. We've got an extention till tomorrow as we've had a few difficulties with creating the soundtrack. The film is complete although we just need to re positing the title in the sequence as we realised it's not fully being absorbed by viewers. The narration still needs to be recorded. The script has been finalise and my only worry is that audience viewers may be not fully engage with it as it is quite vague and abstract. Although the intention is to mezmerise viewers and engulf them within the life of our cahracter Anna.
