"Across The Universe is a fictional love story set in the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. A combination of live action and animation, the film is paired with many songs by The Beatles that defined the time."

This films appeared on my the list of films about drugs to thought this would be an interesting one to watch. the main drug scenes in it are when they are on the hippy bus travelling around. They use a lot of animated effects to create a trippy feel to the scene. It seems as thou they gave put a negative effect on the shots. I think this is effective in creating a weird effect but personally I don't like it as I think its too much, its not realistic. In our film we want more realistic effects so I think I can play around but wouldn't use a negative this extreme but it could possibly work on a smaller scale.

Earlier on in the film there is a scene when they smoke a drug. This scene is a lot more realistic, it doesn't show any viewpoints of the character but I think that is had portrayed the characters on drugs really well. I think this is due down to the directing and acting from the character more then the edit. If we want to create a realistic effect we are going to have to rehears over and over until the actors are comfortable with they roles.
