The document discusses adding various visual and audio effects and transitions to a short film to enhance the narrative. Rolling text is added during the credits to acknowledge those involved in the film's production. Still text is inserted before the credits to emphasize the film's message that pets require long-term commitment, not just as gifts. Appropriate music and audio transitions are used to suggest shifts in emotion. Video transitions make cuts between clips seemless. Color adjustments are made to one dark clip involving filming at night to make a toy more visible to audiences while maintaining the intended dark narrative effect.
