Chris and I showed out 2nd cut in class on Thursday and got some good feedback from the class again. We had changed the opening scene in the basement to play out as Philip's POV which seemed to work better this time and not cause confusion. We were also told that the pacing was good. I was a bit unsure if it was too slow and dragged out, but the class liked that it was slower because it allowed them to connect with Jim and how he is stuck in the basement with nothing to do.
One aspect they loved about sound was when Philip drags out the bear trap. It makes a shrilling sound with the metal on concrete and it's great. Going off aspect of sound scape, we have a lot to do with the sound, and I like Andre's suggestion in playing with the sound to help form the story in Jim's perspective so that Philip's dialogue is muffled at times when Jim in in shock and isn't really listening. I think this will be a great way to help draw the audience into the film. It'll also allow them to connect with Jim more. Also, the idea of blending the ambient sound into the score that we choose was a good idea. It'll help create an unsettling ambiguity that'll keep the audience attentive in trying to figure out what's going on. There were a lot of great suggestions for the sound scape and score that i look forward to experimenting with.
