Editing so far

So far we have shot the first section of the scene which is situated inside meaning that we can get on with editing while we decide a time and day to carry on with more footage.
The editing of the film has been interesting and easier that I thought although there have been a couple of debated on how to show certain things and when to cut to the next frame.  The best part about this part of the project is that you are able to merge together separate clips creating a story as it all comes together.
The thing I am finding particularly difficult at the moment is editing the sound as it is hard to connect the film to the sound although every time we filmed a clip we used the method of clapping before hand making it a lot easier to match the sound taken from the video recording to the sound on the camera. A lot of the sound in this opening is atmospheric and sound of movement. I didn't realise how important this sound was as there is very little dialogue used.
So far we have not managed to match music to the film although we are setting up a meeting with Aletia as she is able to create simple musical soundtracks to use as a subtle background noise. The crucial thing about this is increasing the intensity of the music at the right points in time to fit the scene and build suspense. If this is wrong it is very noticeable and can be distracting.
