Development

As soon as we began filming we began seeing small flaws and difficulties in our planning and as a result we had to develop and edit our ideas and choice of edits and effects in many scenes in the process. We chose to include the Warner Bros. intro before our film (influenced by Donnie Darko), also we took inspiration from the unique Warner Bros. intro featured in the matrix in which the color scheme is altered to match the style of the movie for more of a Sci-fi feel. We instead used a combination of effects (cross hatch and altered the colour and saturation to give a more eerie, cold Sci-fi atmosphere).



Many shots also got altered such as the flickering of the scene between the indoor and out door environment  and the credits on the leaves (green screen). Many smaller cuts may have been added or altered in this process, especially towards the end of 'Dark Limbo'. These were changed to both a smooth blur/dissolve transition respectively throughout. Also taking influence from sin city we isolated sole colours in the scenery of Dark Limbo. Timing of the monologue was changed slightly and the last section was removed entirely, this was to create a more streamline progression in the plot yet retain an enigma about certain aspects. Everything we changed these elements to still retained influence from our chosen movies. Many elements we explored such as the green scene didn't fit in with the nature of our film although would have adhered to the codes and conventions of the Sci-fi genre.

We retained the music selection throughout (influenced by A Scanner Darkly) of the classic piece 'Moonlight Sonata'', this is later blended with a heavier guitar version of the moonlight Sonata to emphasise the desperate nature of the scene (informed by the likes of the Matrix and Donnie Darko). A heartbeat can be heard during certain scenes, this was added to communicate the struggle the character is facing as his heart beat becomes loud and audible (Donnie Darko - Frank Scenes).

The title also was heavily altered, our initial idea was to have the Breaking Bad style entitled ''Limbo'' this would slowly blur in using ''bleary in'' as was the various pieces of text and credits scattered throughout.

Throughout this process we have also been using many forms of media (etc.) to present our text such as:

- Blogger.
- Prezzie.
- Photoshop (Animation).
- Motion.
- TextEdit.
- Final Cut Pro X.
- iMovie.
- YouTube. *
- Facebook.*

* These where used to finally distribute and display our pieces of media text.

** It is also worth noting we attempted to replicate an Easter egg of sorts seen in the matrix, during a certain scene the lettering Mobil Ave is visible, this is an anagram for Limbo, we tried to do a similar effect with the credited set designer and writer as they are both anagrams themselves of Limbo.
