We spent this entire week in the post-production phase of
our project, editing together the raw footage we captured two weeks ago. A two
minute rough cut of our narrative that revealed where we were going with our entire
documentary was due on Friday. By Thursday, we had completed the first two
minutes and six seconds of the documentary.
On Monday, we focused on the introduction sequence, for
which I had already created a storyboard the week before. I imagined the
introduction as a series of quick cuts of different locations that started with
a broad focus and then with each cut, grew tighter and tighter. The sequence
starts at the Purdue University sign in the engineering mall, then the entrance
to Stewart Hall, the third floor hallway in Stewart, room 314, then the League
of Legends club inside room 314. When we were editing the sequence together, we
found a heartbeat sound effect that fit perfectly with the clip sequence. Although
to complete the sequence, I still need the actual footage of the Purdue
University arch.
After
we finished putting together a rough cut of the introduction sequence, we starting
chopping up the interviews into the general outline we had talked about during
filming. The documentary is going to start by focusing on ‘outsiders’ think of
the League of Legends club, painting a picture of the typical response that
club member receive when they explain that they are in the League of Legends
club. We are then going to spend the remaining 3-4 minutes of the documentary
disproving that widely held belief. We will first show the multitude of other
activities that different club members are involved in, and then we intend to
reveal the reason why the majority of members belong to the club.
