Research into editing techniques- how to give the effect of drugs.

How this could be achieved

There are a few ways in which the effect of drugs can be shown using editing techniques. one way is the use of frantic scene change and jump cuts, as this gives the effect of quickening pace and excitement that drugs give you.

another way in which you can give the effect of drugs is by having frantic camera movements and canted angle shots, to give the effect of blurred and impaired vision and dizziness

one more way in which you can give the effect of drugs is by having colour changes in shots, for example shades of green or red to give the effect of a change of vision of the world, and a change in surroundings.

another thing you could do is add in non diegetic music, either to give the effect that someone's in a noisy nightclub, the stereotypical place that ecstasy and such is taken, or whispers and voices, giving the effect of paranoia brought on by the drugs

another way you could show it is by having muffled audio, to give the effect that someone's spacing out and is blocked out from the surrounding world.
