Editing the psychiatrist scene

We decided to film this scene where you can only hear the psychiatrists voice but not see her, and the audience can only see the two identities of Mila on screen - the evil and the good.
Bad Mila interrogates good Mila to kill her bullies as 'revenge' whilst the psychologists asks her questions, but the audience do not know what the revenge is until the end of the film. This creates an enigma code.
Mila is frustrated by all the voices and snaps her pencil.

The way we recorded this was through placing the camera on a still position whilst recording on a tripod, and the camera kept rolling as our character swapped over the roles of her identity. In post production whilst editing, I layered both the split footage on top of each other on the timeline and then used the effect called 'draw mask' which enabled me to draw a line through the middle of the screen of the top footage which allowed me to delete the other side of the screen, thus allowing both Milas on the screen to be visible.

Although there were colour changes in the lighting because of the natural lighting coming through the window, I was able to fix this by changing the contrast, hues and saturation on the side bar panel.

To make it look like Mila's evil identity is not real, I cut out small seconds of her clip to make it look like she is glitching like she glitching she gets before she takes her antidepressant pills.
