Synopsis:

A 4-minute cut of Friday the 13th that retains every shot. How? Every cut is dictated by New Order’s “Blue Monday”. Multiple audio options available, depending on whether you want to bop or just absorb the raw film in all it’s jarring glory.


Intentions:

This was a spontaneous game/challenge I set for myself that I hoped would result in a Halloween release - no such luck. These things are always more work than I expect. I had no idea what to expect going in, but I leaned on the side of caution and chose to use the longer version of Blue Monday rather than the radio edit. Let's just say that didn't quite turn out how I expected... and so we will inevitably be getting a Blue Friday Part 2. The rules: - Every shot is included - Every shot is in its original sequence - every shot is triggered by a drum hit (snare / kick) The exceptions: - I can choose which part of the shot we cut to - I can cut to the same shot on a fatality or corpse - I can cut to the same shot on drum fills



Change List:

The film plays out as normal, but cuts every time a snare or kick drum hits. For the film-only audio, a limiter was used to reduce the dynamic range and allow for a more consistent volume across cuts. For the “blue friday” hybridised audio, some audio cuts were tweaked so that consonants weren’t cut off during lines and to scrub film music that clashed particularly badly with the New Order track. I was much more liberal with this for V2.


Additional Notes:

Bear in mind this is designed to be jarring! Also, these are very tight cuts which can easily be thrown slightly out of sync by a bad player. If you use VLC, I would switch off the auto deinterlace feature, as it has a habit of being triggered even with progressive video. Youtube isn't always reliable but you can stream the default audio option there if preferred.
