This shot was decided as a successful way to reveal the roles played by the characters as this shot shows the boys looking over her, thus making them powerful enough to hurt her if they will to. This shot creates an interesting way to reveal the plot of this story as it appears realistic enough for the audience to relate to as Helen is hurt on the floor clinging to her wound, this thought diverts the audience attention from what is really happening; Helen living in a dream and the significance of the characters behind her. We also thought this shot type will be useful as it makes the audience ask questions about what is going to happen next. By using a lingering pause the audience will be drawn into the characters.

This shot is an interesting way to divert the audience's attention from the main character; Helen  to the characters; Blade and Lazar, two personalities combined in one character. We thought we would take a shot from the left side of Blade's face then either cut or pan to the right side of Lazar's face. This makes it seem both interesting and shocking as the audience do not see it coming as the opening sequence maintains focus on Helen. This also makes the audience think for a while trying to connect the last scene to the previous shots. By ending the sequence on this shot it reveals partial of the plot without revealing the storyline.

We decided to do a match on action edit of Helen running to create a creative way to display her movement. We thought that this edit will help create tension by concealing what or who she is running from. The non diegetic pounding of the footsteps help to create tension and suspense making the audience impatient in figuring whom she is running from.
