During editing for certain shots the editor Michael Kahn duplicated about 12 frames throughout shots. This would re-enforce the strobing effect from principle photography. This is most noticeable in the “Silent Sequence” that I go on to analyse later.
The final overall look of the film was created by putting the negatives through a process called “Bleach Bypass”, allowing more colour to be pulled out of the film. In brief the process prevents the film from passing through the bleaching function, normally carried out in a colour film. The result is a black and white picture over a colour picture, giving the strange degradation in colour. During the edit they drained more colour so that the film ended up with only 40% colour.
