Ideas for editing
For editing, I aim to make the film with obvious changing in emotion among the 4 parts and with a slightly quirky and horrific atmosphere – but not a horror film.
Therefore, one thing important is that various special effect including transition effect and other visual effect should be applied especially in the part of mirror fragments.
Reference for editing
I look through many films especially short film to get inspiration in editing.
For the beginning of the film, especially the effects of title and subtitle, I refer to Define Beauty Am I ugly produced by Nowness.
For the end of the film, CHANEL fashion film 2018 Crystalline Beauty inspired me a lot. At the end of the film, the last shot where the model’s head sinks into the water is placed behind the credits as the last footage. I also put the shoot of the the piecing of different shoot as well as the shoot of the black fabric after the credits in my film, which contribute to highlight the topic.
For the specific visual effects, I refer to Orla Gartland’s music video I Go Crazy , making overlay effect.
Demonic Beauty inspires me a lot in many aspects such as choice of shoot, transition and tone of the film.

I saw a piece of work in the exhibition of Tim Walker: Wonderful Things in V&A Museum. I like the way it present different footage in one screen.
