- 2. Additional Notes (for group purpose): • The events that unfold while the girl walks down the lane are in slow motion with the dialogue being added in over the top with some kind of sound effect like an echo for dramatic effect. This is because the soundtrack will make up most of the sound and the dialogue should be quick and punchy. • The idea is that it should be as if the girl isn’t actually there and the events are just unfolding in font of her. • All of the clips of the events that happen should be fairly fast paced while the shots of the girl walking should start off slow and get quicker as the soundtrack builds up.
