Chris and I have gotten off to a good start with editing The Basement. We had some footage issues at first and had to transcode some of our footage, but now all our footage is transcoded, logged&captured, and ready to go.
Over the past two weeks we have begun editing our film and working on our 4min intro to show the class. First, edited our first scene of the film, in which we are introduced to Jim and Phillip, and we learn of the captive scenario. After editing this, Chris and I thought that it would be a stronger opening sequence to begin with Jim running through the woods. We used quick cuts of handheld shots of Jim running through the woods to create a disorienting, yet intriguing introduction. Our goal here is for the audience to wonder who this boy is and what he's running from, or towards, and why. Then we cut into the main story. Later on, once Jim escapes, we will pick back up in this chase sequence and the audience will understand that the intro was a foreshadowing of what's to come.
One aspect Chris and I have to work a great deal on is score. The music is going to play a large role in this film. We have scouted out a couple of songs that we like, but we're still searching and seeing what score fits where.
