We wanted to increase the speed at the beginning to shock the audience and set the a fast pace for our opening. We sped up the clip duration to enable us to fit in more shots and we liked the resulting effect. By speeding up the start, the audience have no idea what is going on, which is our intention, as we wanted the audience to be confused and disorientated. By using the tunnel shots, it allowed a smooth movement going through the tunnel and established the location.


When we applied the bleach bypass, we wanted an effect that darkened the tunnel and created a dirtier more sinister horror effect, as it complemented the surroundings and created shadows on the walls, in which would interest the audience to what unusual events are occuring within the tunnel.


When editing the skyline, we decided to stabilise the establishing shot, as we did not want it to jolt. Our intention was for the establishing shot to be a serene shot, in contrast to the tunnel opening it follows. The shot included London lit-up at night and we increased the contrast to enable the audience to be able to establish the buildings in the shot, and connect it with London. The motion distortion was needed to enable the smooth movement, as when it was first shot, it was taken through shaken hands, which post-filming we decided wasn't an effect we felt appropriate for this shot.
