I decided to portray it as the story leading up to the moment in the paragraph.
I created a story board so I could put my ideas down and also help me when it came to filming:
I didnt use a very good camera, and the view is a little shakey, due to my unsteady hand, but over all I think I like the effect.
I used 2 actors, Zack Warner and Hannah Hand, (who played both the wife and the dead body), and I filmed in two locations.
I used the only software I had to hand, which was Windows Movie Maker.
At first where I had used my digital camera, I did not think (and I don't know why) that having my camera landscape or portrait would effect which way up it was when I got it on the computer, so the first thing I had to do was rotate the clip, so that is the reason as to why some of the clips fill the screen and some are smaller than the width.
I changed the first scene into black and white, and made it blurry, because I wanted it to seem to the audience as if it was the narrators distant memory, and the colour scenes were his most vivid.
I only used one other effect and that was on the mid-shot of the leading man putting the dead body in the car, for this I used a half-speed effect, to slow it down, I did this because as this is supposed to be a memory, the narrator is slowing down this action as he thought about it.
I then added the title scene and the credits, and then put the audio with the scenes.
This turned out to be quite difficult, because I had to match the audio with what sequence it was to be put with, and then when I tried to add the instrumental music I used (Beethoven's Moonlit Sontana) I found I could not insert two audio tracks overlaying eachother.
So I had to cut down my instrumental on the timeline, and fit it inbetween the narrator's audio. By doing it this way it has caused a slight gap between each and it does not flow the way I wanted it to.
This is the final cut, although I would like to re-do it, using a better software, so that my audio could overlay.
