I am your father..

I am starting to sweat about this project a little bit now that we have started editing. I have realized that we could've easily made this into a whole short film. Now I understand the challenge is that we can only create the intro. There is so much we are trying to fit into our intro that im afraid it might be moving to fast for people to understand. We had to cut alot of shots that were beautiful because we needed to narrow it down to shots that were absolutely necessary. I am definitely a bit worried that the pacing and rhythem may be too fast for the mood that we are trying to convey. Peachpit.com says "Rhythm is the flow and separation of the overall story" while "pacing is the timing of cuts, the topic of this chapter". They say slow pacing builds intensity (a good example being this scene from Inglourious Basterds directed by Quentin Tarantino) and I'm worried that our scene doesnt build as much suspense as it should because of the time limit and the amount of things we are trying to fit in the intro. But at the same time, I knew we would have to run into an obstacle sooner or later because our Obi-Wan Kenobe of media studies Tina Stoklosa told us it would. Because we filmed and editied at a good time it gives us a chance to conquer this issue.
The force is strong in this team.
