Connecting the sequences together - showing the progressive passing of time

 We needed to come up with an idea of how to show the passing of time in between each growing up stage of our film. We thought about the change in tone that the film has, and experimenting with the time of day, to allow the audience to make the connection between the progressive different stages of our film. For the opening sequence, we discovered that if the camera was set up for around 20 minutes towards the early evening, the sky progressively changed and could work if we sped this up in post production. This works particularly well alongside the sound of the clock ticking, which we are going to be using running throughout the film, as a background soundtrack alongside the memory sounds. We discovered that this would also work well towards the end of our film, and thought about the possibility of having the end connecting back to the start. This would also fit within our theme of fragments of memory, as pieces of memory could be shown from throughout the various stages of the subject's life, and wouldn't have to necessarily be shown in chronological order. This could work especially well towards the end of the film within the blurred out sequences which represent vaguer, almost forgotten memories.
