Light Rays VS Colour Tint

 As the fantastical narrative needs to be different to the reality, I am going to manipulate the footage with a special effect.

I really like the 'Light Rays' effect as this makes the footage have almost a supernatural feel as it creates connotations of a tunnel and the 'temptation' character is at the end of it - somewhat like the "light at the end of the tunnel" which clearly links to the protagonist's feeling that his alchohol dependency is the only way forward.

However, by adjusting the RGB balance I am able to give more of an impact, particularly against the black and white effect. This feature enables me to put a tint across the footage.

Even so, I feel that the light rays are more unusual and suit the narrative better.
