This week we have continued the work on our 4 minute rough cut, which we will present next week. One of the girls that had worked on the film as a producer in 495 came into the editing lab with us and watched what we had done so far. This really helped our group a lot because although she had a fresh pair of eyes toward the edit and helped us fine tune, she also was familiar with the shot selection and had suggestions as to how to replace things or what other shot distances would be more effective. On Friday, we sat down with her and a journal and wrote down her critiques. We also now have someone willing to help us out with sound. He came in on Friday as well and got the rough cut on his harddrive so that he could start to get a feel for the tone of our film. We also showed him footage of the protagonist bound to the chair, because that will be a suspenseful scene and we definitely want him to record eerie music for it. Hopefully, this time in advance will give him the opportunity to be creative. I am excited to see how that turns out! As of right now, we had to postpone an editing session because we were both working on projects, but we have planned to meet tomorrow night to get hopefully another minute finished.
