Quick cuts and crash zooms

In our film there is a scene where we zoom into the victims eye to get through the eye into the flashback. To zoom through the victims eye we are going to use a crash zoom.
 A crash zoom is when the shot zooms in so fast it appears to crash into the target it is zooming into. In our case the crash zoom will be from the victims body into the eye. 
Below is an example of the crash zoom in Wayne's world where they go for an extreme close up.
Ours wil be a lot neater than this example!



The flashback is key in our opening and to show the flashback we are going to reverse the whole clip in quick cuts. this will look as if a VHS tape is being rewound and that the whole attack is on tape when actually the victim is recalling the attack in her head. Quick cuts are used to show key moments in a sequence, they usually show the fast forwarding of time where as in our film the quick cuts will show the reversing of time. Below are two examples of quick cuts. One is a scene from Shaun of the dead when Shaun gets ready for work. The second is a scene from snatch when Avi comes to london.
