Editing Emotions

We start on a bright blue screen with the title ‘Editing Emotions’ in large white font, accompanied by gentle music. We then see a close-up of a fair-skinned woman with long, light brown hair, wearing a black blazer; she looks down sadly. The scene transitions to a close-up of a chocolate cake decorated with whipped cream and chocolate drizzles, as a knife cuts into it. We then see the same woman, now smiling broadly at the camera.

 

The text ‘Now change the order…’ appears on the blue screen again, followed by a close-up of the smiling woman. Next, the cake is shown being cut once more, and then the sad woman reappears, looking down again.

 

The word ‘Tension’ is displayed on the blue screen, and we see a man in blue scrubs walking down a hospital corridor, followed by a close-up of a woman’s eye, which looks watery and distressed. After that, a shadowed hand appears, holding a knife, poised as if to strike.

 

The word ‘Relief’ appears on the blue screen, and we see the man walking down the corridor again. We then cut back to the woman’s distressed eye, followed by the shadowed hand with the knife. The scene transitions to the chocolate cake being cut, accompanied by peaceful music, and then we see the smiling woman again.
