Video All Laid Out

Chris came in and looked at what I had cut and then continued on. I liked the shots he used of Phil, however I thought that there was something missing in the tension of Phil catching up to Jim. I decided to add in our shot of Jim stopping to take a breath. The shot was initially planned to be use during a different part of the narrative, but it was able to be worked into the narrative here as well. I cut it so he stops to take a breath, and then that is when he hears Phil screaming for him and realizes that Phil isn't dead. He starts running again and right when he get's some momentum, he trips on a root, which stops him and allows Phil to fully catch up to him. Then the rest plays out well with what Chris cut. I really like our ending shot of Jim coming out of the woods. There's this one take where Jim winces a bit and it works really well with how we abruptly cut without ever seeing what he's looking at. Choosing that take was a good decision by Chris. Also, the score that he put at the end fits very well. We would have to get the rights for it to use it, but if we can, it's great. I've been looking at other choices on realty free music site. I've found a couple so far that may work, so it's good that we have options. We are still in the search for score for other parts of the film, such as when Jim is searching around the basement. All the video is laid out now though, which is great, and we are now working on audio, SFX, and score.
