Back to the Start  Evaluation: What Went Well? The final outcome I felt turned out well considering the struggle for ideas at the very beginning of the task. Originally my group were going to use Tyler's predicted text message of using technology as a focus point. We all had our minds set on carrying out that idea but I though of Wong Kar-Wai and how he focuses on the concept of time; I though that the time theme would be easy to identify.  While editing, I used a filter over all my footage, which enhanced the colours to attempt to show the bold visuals similarly to Wong Kar-Wai's auteur style.
