Finally Giving the Tree a Context and Slo Mo

It hasn't been discussed much on here but relatively early on Lillie's slow-mo tree clip became the fascination and fixation of our tutor Matt and one of the most agreed on clips to be shown in the film. However, In the initial drafts, it came off to random and seemed out of place. Then came the joy of a creative context within the new film format.

The tree became the 'Dave' channel. The reason for this choice as it was kind of the odd thing you would see on that channel. As the clip was shot on a phone I decided to give it a blue border to fix the colour scheme and conventions usually found on 'Dave'.

Lillie later found audio from a BBC short on one of the most dangerous bus routes in the world. What I liked about this audio were its overdramatic macho sounding music and voice-over narration which made the tree clip have added tension. To then create the frustrating element, I intercut areas of where this audio became mute so you could never hear the full story. I did this using the Tv iconography fo a mute button. I did the same with the other slow-mo clips in the middle of the film.
