Possible Effects

Whilst watching the current television serious 'Hostages', I noticed that during flashback shots there is a soft, blurred edge.
This is really effective in enhancing nostalgia as well as being a device to distinguish between current and past story lines. 


We experimented with this blurred edge on our own footage, and it worked well to contrast the varying emotions we want to portray as well as change the mood. However, due to our footage being shot as if from a handheld camera, or on the kidnappers phone, this effect would not be a realistic editing style. The dream-like look this gives the footage wasn't appropriate for our narrative, yet we will still consider using it on the poster or another aspect of our project.
