In this film of showing subjectivity, the editor takes up most of the work. In showing of entering the character's internal mind, techniques such as colour grading, effects and transitions are used. In addition, the choice of sounds also show entering the character's internal mind. I hope by combining all the footages together and using these relavant techniques, subjecitivity can be effectively conveyed.
