It actually incorporates some old footage from like five years ago with more recent footage of me sitting there looking unsettled. Unfortunately not in the basement but in the bathroom...
I actually used some red paint on my face to make it seem if not bloody, then at least bruised. In the end I used a take (and colour corrected it) that wasn't very well lit so it isn't visible at all.
The old footage is from when I had just got the camera and is basically me filming while I exit the elevator to my old apartment and enter it. All the ambient sounds in the video are real from the footage available. Except for the chainsaw.
I probably should have done some audio stuff to the chainsaw to make it sound less... detached but what the hell.
It's funny that the initial footage was from before this, because it feels very adequate. And I thought the sound effects were edited too, they're very intriguing.
