With most of the movie edited now, we've been considering how to end it, sorting out a few snags within the trailer and Navid has been working on the glitches that we want.
To end the movie originally, we wanted to have the therapist ask Veronica if she is ok, then have her say she is while smiling, and a tear will run down her cheek. We filmed this, but when we were editing, the movie was already too long and it didn't link too well. We decided it might be cool if we leave the trailer making the audience question whether Veronica may've killed her boyfriend. During the fight scene where the boyfriend beats up our protagonist, we filmed a bit where Veronica is thrown across the floor, then sees a knife on the counter side. It made a really cool ending, as the soundtrack gets a lot quieter and slower and we show her looking at the knife, then it cuts to black before the title of the movie is shown. We thought it looked really creepy and will make people watching it wonder what would happen next, as any good trailer would. Navid had edited a lot of the trailer and when we watched it, it seemed like every time we did, Yuden and I had more ideas of things we could change. We had a lot of disagreements. But one of the main things that bothered us was the cuts being on the beats of the song. Yuden wanted it so that the breaking of the bottle to be on one significant beat, but the trailer was too long if we kept it where we wanted it, and we had to fill up a lot of space before hand. I thought it would look fine if we cut it on a different beat, but Yuden was adamant that it wouldn't look good. We compromised and brought the shot forward. We did this for a lot of shots. We insisted that the jump cuts in the classroom had to all be the same length and perfectly on the beat. Navid hated us. What did turn out really cool was the glitches. Navid had to search how to do them and he spent a long time getting them perfect at the right places. Then Yuden stepped in and complained that there were too many. It's looking good, though.
