As well as reshooting our still shots we were also going to attempt to record a time lapse of the clouds to use in the montage for our opening credits. Much like the time lapse used in The Haunting of Radcliffe house, we were aiming to capture movement of clouds through branches and above the treetops, however the weather didn't agree with us as the movement of cloud was sparse and didn't give us the time lapse we wanted.
Whilst strolling past a fast flowing river, we decided it might work filming the river flow over some large rocks. (which formed a mini waterfall - kind of) From this we brainstormed ideas and thought doing a time lapse of the river flowing would compensate for the cloud time lapse, and it wasn't till we were editing and playing around we found that doing the river flowing in reverse actually worked like a treat! It also reminded us of a opening clip we saw in class of the movie 'Remember me' as it used the same reverse technique to reverse the tide coming in, this created a creepy yet eerie ambience.
(For some reason the youtube clip is extremely blurry)
