EDITING: THE OPENING SCENE

Editing this scene was mostly continuity editing and mixing all the different camera angles and shot types together. We decided to place a non diegetic musical track over the initial tracking shot to make the sequence look as if it were a dream sequence. We wanted to show a clear swap of mood between when the girl is in her dream like state, and when she gets knocked down by the guy rushing past her and so we included the diegetic noise of the books hitting the ground, this interrupts the soft music and alters the mood for the audience and the protagonist setting up her first line of dialogue, "why can't real guys be like the men in my stories".
