The Techniques Used in our Video

In our video we use flashbacks when the sisters are remembering the good they used to have with their parents. A film that uses flashbacks is Titanic (1997), the majority of this film is flashback as the older Rose (Gloria Stuart) remembers what happened on the ship when she was younger (played by Kate Winslet) with Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio). This is similar to our flashbacks as they are both reminiscing about a better past were they had fun, however ours is a more family based flashback whereas Titanic is about love.

We also used green screen in our video to use the sunset/rise and Libby sleeping over Bethan lip-syncing. Alice in Wonderland (2010) uses green screening to have the Utopian feel to Wonderland. Most of the sets were done via green screen to add to the characters and make everything bigger e.g.when Alice drinks the shrinking potion she remains tiny until given the sizing potion so everything needs to be bigger.

In our video we also exaggerate the colour of our flashbacks to differentiate between past and present. In the Wizard of Oz (1939) they use exaggerated colour throughout Oz, the main colour is on the yellow brick road which stands out, another example of this is the Emerald City which is only green. This is to differentiate between Kansas and Oz which is what are doing in ours.
