For the opening scene of the dream I am focusing on the idea of the character's mental instability which is reflected in his nightmare. In the dream I show a pair of eyes overlapped with the fuzziness of a TV screen. This is presented in the first sequence and is the underlying visual icon which echoes the constantly repeated appearance of eyes in "Bladerunner" where Ridley Scott used a shot of human eyes which were intended to connote various meanings.

Evaluation.
In the creation of this piece of video I had to first obtain a projector and use a camera that would give me the correct white balance in manual setting with a white piece of card in order to produce the colour I wanted for the eyes. The production featured a TV set filmed on a mirrored setting to create the weird fuzziness. The eye was photographed on mirrored effect also in order to create the perfect symmetry. The second shot was achieved with a CAMERA MOUNTED ON A TRIPOD REVOLVING AROUND THE SUBJECT
and this was shot in a Morrisons supermarket using one of their trolleys. This created the slick smooth style that I required to convey the idea that these images are hovering around the subject. Of course I could have used a handheld camera which would have produced a more realistic effect but this not what I wanted as I needed the dream sequence to appear unreal.
In the post production aspects and editing for the eye and the TV I laid them on top of each other by using opacity and placing the TV on the lower level so as to make it shine through.
I changed the colour levels to create the contrasts that I wanted with a fade out to sink each scene. For the next scenes showing the character lying on the floor, I used the same techniques but I placed the levels at a fraction of a second different to create the ghostly figure that flickers slightly to suggest that the soul of the character is trying to escape from the dying body.
I felt this worked very well and helped to create a very vivid scene.
Also, I used non-diagetic sounds to create a heightened sense of emotion. I could have used natural sounds but this would have made the scene seem too real and I wanted it to appear unreal and like a scene from a fantasy/horror film. For the editing of the music I blended the sounds from the TV into the music by gradually blending the two together to create a beautifully flowing scene. I wanted the music to be as obscure and unrecognizable as possible with no lyrics or memorable tune. I came across an orchestral band called "God Speed You Black Emperor". They are an instrumental band that play psychedelic avante garde music. By copying and pasting their music and using only 30 seconds of a one and a half hour track I achieved the effect I wanted but it was quite difficult to cut the music down in this way. By selecting a very eerie section of music with voices and supernatural sounds
