Footage for Video. For the dream scene, we shot various types of footage. The first footage was of the dead body being trailed along the floor the Parker character. By using a shopping trolley and mounting a tripod on it, this helped to create a smooth motion and a very slick and not shaking camera shot. This produced an effect as if the camera was not actually there at all. Editing this footage, I created several layers within it. The first layer was de-saturated and high contrast and gamma level whilst the other layer was a highly saturated cross processed colour effect and cropped in to 50 per cent. The third layer was the same saturation but cropped 25 per cent. This helped to create the effect of the surrealist dream that the character is re-living. The multiple layered shot helps to create the very close up motions and difficulty that the character has with moving the body for we see not only the entire image but also fractions of the image of the body e.g .its legs and hands. This multiple layered effect of different colours also connotes a dream like state as often in real life dreams we get the effect of black and white visions with flickering colours. Also, the mise en scene helps to connote the sense of a surrealist hellish nightmare.
