Strategy:

In implementing these subliminal messages, I wanted to incorporate them heavily into the landscape and terrain to get a balance of how casual it could be but also make it look too unnatural to provoke thought of larger forces at play on this mysterious island. I aimed to make it casual in a way that at one angle you can see the letter quite obvious but not so much so in another perspective. This was so I could make the trailer more interesting from use of other camera angles. 

Because my number was 8, I wanted to express it more as a letter than in quantity as having more of an object resulted in it being overlooked as too casual and having then aligned would make the object look too unnatural. I wanted to avoid for the audience to count rapidly the number of objects in the subliminal messages.


Reflection:
In seeing the subliminal messages, I notice how some things were only visible for a second however it was placed in such a way that it stuck in the mind. I also notice how it could be incorporated into things that had another function to be almost overlooked
