Technical Difficulties

Originally we had a plan to create a dissolve effect on The Henchman's mask in order to show his mask disappearing. We planned to do this by taking a shot with the Henchman with his mask on then taking another one without the mask in exactly the same position. This worked once as you can see below.



However, the second time we did this, the camera moved so the Henchman was in a different position. To overcome this we decided to cut him out and put him on an empty backdrop, then create the effect on top of this.

However, on the day of the project deadline, the file corrupted and we were unable to recover it. We did not have much so had to think of a short term solution. We inserted another shot of Leora running between the mask being off and then appearing on his face, and since the audience have already seen this before, this maintains continuity.
