Our slide transitions

From seeing the slide transitions at the beginning of 'Defiantly,Maybe' we wanted to do it at the beginning of our film as we like the effect it gives. We found this quite difficult to do at first as we would forget how to do it once we were shown, but we got the hang of it and we think it works well with our shots we are using. We weren't planning on using the slide transitions twice in the opening but because of a continuity error we didn't realize until editing, the slide transitions helped us make the error less noticeable and it still makes it flow. We like the effect it gives when showing the different events happening in the opening scene such as when 'Zoey' is greeted with 'Donna' the slide transitions help show the audience that 'Donna' has arrived and the reaction shot of her best friend when she does enter her room. Its all effective at the beginning when 'Zoey' returns home and it shows her entering the house and the different stages she does when she returns home such as, take her shoes off, getting changed and entering a new room. We wanted to create this so it flowed in and out but also making the little bits like taking her shoes off and getting changed a quicker process in the opening.
